Introduction:Self-inflicted injuries are a complex phenomenon, defined as the intention to cause physical harm, which may or may not be associated with suicidal intention. To date, there are no epidemiological studies in this regard in Chile, therefore, the main objective of this research is established: Establish the percentage of emergency department care for self-inflicted injuries in the period 2021-2022 in Chile. Materials and methods:The data used was obtained from the Department of Statistics and Health Information and the National Institute of Statistics. A descriptive analysis of the cases was carried out according to age group and trimester. No ethics committee was required to carry out this work. The authors declare no conflict of interest. Results: A total of 14,875 emergency services were studied corresponding to intentionally self-inflicted injuries in the country, representing 0.05% of their total attention. Within which, a higher percentage was registered for the age group between 15 to 64 years, with 78.23% of the cases, and the lowest percentage was registered for the age group under 1 year with 0.13%; Depending on the quarter, an increase in the percentage of attention was observed in the 3rd and 4th quarter of the year. Discussion and Conclusions: These results have revealed the magnitude of the problem, because validated information on this topic at the national level is scarce, with limitations in the quality of records and diagnosis coding. That is why it is crucial to promote more research in this area at the national level to improve understanding of this problem and develop appropriate interventions.
