Popis: Abstract Background Precise identification of risk factors for suicide has been found as fundamentally challenging for the stakeholders. In search of that, the determination of potential biological markers of suicide has been scrutinizing in recent days. However, replicative studies across the culture and time are warranted to utilize the biomarkers in decision‐making while considering suicide prevention. Objectives We aimed to measure the neutrophil‐to‐lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and C‐reactive protein (CRP) in non‐fatal suicidal attempts. Methods This cross‐sectional study was conducted from August 2020 to May 2021. Data were collected from 26 hospitalized patients after an immediate non‐fatal suicidal attempt. We collected blood samples and assessed the complete blood count, NLR, and CRP. Data were analyzed by Statistical Package for the Social Science version 24.0 and Microsoft Excel software. We performed the independent Mann‐Whitney U test to determine the variations between the groups. A value
