Introduction: Patients with borderline personnality disorder (BPD) occupy an important place among patients admitted for suicidal attempt. Preventing recurrence of suicide attempts in this specific population, by controlling its risk factors, is an important public health issue. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors of the recurrence of suicidal attempt in BPD patients consulting the emergency unit. Methods: It's a retrospective study about 30 cases. All subjects included in the study had been diagnosed with BPD according to DSM V criteria. Moreover, they all consulted the emergency psychiatric unit after, at least, one suicide attempt. The exclusion criteria were the presence of cognitive, bipolar or psychotic disorders. Patients were divided into two groups: with and without recurrence of suicide attempt. Socio-demographic informations was collected. The gravity of depressive disorders was assessed with the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS). Results: Among the thirty patients included in the study, 66% patients were re-admitted to the emergency unit for one or several suicide attempt. The recurrence of the suicide attempt was significantly higher in unemployed patients, in patients with family history of suicide and in patients who consume cannabis. Interestingly, living with parents who are not separated seems to be a protective factor (OR = 0.3). Furthermore, recurrence and intensity (HDRS) of the major depressive episode did not differ statistically in patients with or without SB recurrence. Conclusions: Identifying patients at risk of recurrence of suicidal act, represents an essential step in secondary prevention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
