Abstract

BackgroundPerinatal self-harm is of concern but poorly understood.AimsTo determine if women's risk of self-harm changes in pregnancy and the first postpartum year, and if risk varies by mental illness, age and birth outcome.MethodThis was a retrospective cohort study of 2 666 088 women aged 15–...
