abstract="@#Objective To determine the socio-demographic and clinical correlates of suicide attempts in Chinese schizophrenia outpatients and their impact on patients&#39; quality of life (QOL).<br><br>METHODS Two hundred and fifty eligible subjects were recruited and interviewed using standard instruments. Multiple logistic regression with stepwise method was used.<br><br>RESULTS The prevalence of suicide attempts was 33.6%. Patients with a history of suicide attempts were more likely to have multiple hospitalizations and poor physical QOL domain. Negative symptoms inversely predicted suicide attempts.<br><br>CONCLUSION Suicide attempts could be controlled if more attention is paid on schizophrenia patients with multiple hospitalizations and poor physical QOL domain, which could facilitate the re-entry to community for schizophrenia outpatients in China.<p /><p>Language: zh</p>",
