Published Date: May 15, 2025

Abstract

The PERMANENS European project addresses the global public health challenge of self-harm and suicide by developing a machine learning-based Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS) to assist emergency departments (EDs) in providing personalized care. With over 700,000 suicides annually, suicide prevention is critical, especially in Europe where consistent surveillance is lacking. The project harmonizes national suicide attempt registries from regions in Spain, Ireland, Norway, and Sweden using the OMOP Common Data Model (CDM) to create a comprehensive database for real-time analysis.
