abstract="This retrospective observational study conducted in Necker Hospital for Sick  Children, France (January 2018-June 2020) evaluated a potential temporal association  between admissions for suicide behaviours in children and adolescents and the  national COVID-19 lockdown (March-May 2020). During the study period, 234 patients  were admitted for suicide behaviours (28% male; mean age 13.4 years). Using Poisson  regression, we found a significant decrease in the incidence of admissions for  suicide behaviour during the lockdown (adjusted incidence rate ratio: 0.46; 95% CI  0.24 to 0.86). This association might result from reduced help-seeking and decreased  hospital admission rates during the lockdown, as well as cognitive and environmental  factors. Further multicentre studies should be conducted to confirm these findings  and investigate whether a compensatory rise in admissions for suicide behaviour  occurred in the postlockdown period.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
