Article Synopsis
- - This study analyzed mortality rates among individuals with dementia or mild cognitive impairment who engaged in self-harm over a 14-year period in New South Wales, Australia, finding 1,511 individuals with both conditions.
- - The research indicated that circulatory disorders were the leading cause of death (32%) in this group, with risk factors for mortality including male sex, physical health issues, and a history of delirium, while better engagement with outpatient mental health services decreased the chances of repeat self-harm.
- - The findings emphasize that the risk of death increases when individuals with self-harm also develop dementia, highlighting the need for enhanced support after diagnosis to potentially lower mortality rates.

Introduction: People living with dementia experience poor mental health and high rates of self-harm. We investigated risk factors for self-harm in people aged > 40 years living with dementia and risk factors for dementia after self-harm.
Methods: Using linked hospital data from New South Wales, Australia, we defined a dementia cohort (n = 154,811) and a self-harm cohort (n = 28,972).
