School performance and hospital admissions due to self-inflicted injury: a Swedish national cohort study
International Journal of Epidemiology, 06/29/09

Jablonska B et al. - The risk of hospital admission because of self-inflicted injury increased steeply in a step-wise manner with decreasing grade point average. Hazard ratios were 6.2 in those with the lowest level of grade point average compared with the highest. The risks were similar for women and men. Adjustment for potential socio-economic confounders in a multivariate proportional hazards regression analysis attenuated this strong gradient only marginally. School performance is a strong factor for predicting future mental ill-health as expressed by self-inflicted injury.
