Subjects and methods: Cases were retrospectively identified from the database of the Educational Institute of Emergency Medicine of the Istria County according to the main diagnosis from R96 (Other sudden deaths) to R99.0 (Other insufficiently defined and unspecified causes of death) with supplementary diagnoses X60 to X84.0 and /or Y87 to Y87.0 according to the tenth edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-10). Results: A total of 392 cases of suicide were included in the research. 13.8% (54) of committed suicides were recorded, and 86.2% (338) of cases refer to suicide attempts. Men make up 51% (200) and women 49% (192) of cases. Of committed suicides, men make up 79.6% (43) of cases, and women 20.4% (11) of cases. The largest percentage of committed suicides is recorded in the age group of >65 years 44.4% (24). Discussion: Despite the relatively small sample, the observed trends of committed suicides are in accordance with the data available in the Statistical Review of the Ministry of the Interior Affairs of the Republic of Croatia in the same period. Men commit suicide more often than women with a ratio of 3.91:1. Men are more inclined to more violent methods of committing suicide, while women more often choose less violent methods.
