Scales have been developed to predict the risk of repetition, particularly in the short-term. We have tested a recently developed scale from Edinburgh in two one-year cohorts of patients assessed in routine clinical practice following attempts that resulted in referral to the general hospital in Oxford. The scale was tested in both its clinical and research (weighted item) versions, first, as originally evaluated by its originators and, second, using only first attempts by individual persons rather than any episode (i.e., including repeat episodes) during the study periods as the index events and a standard one year follow-up period, rather than within a calendar year period. We also compared the performance of the scale with a short scale, again from Edinburgh, which was developed in the 1970s. The new Edinburgh Risk of Repetition Scale ...
