<jats:sec> <jats:title>Aims</jats:title> <jats:p>External (non-natural) causes of death are frequent in prison. This study aimed to assess the incidence, associated ecological factors, and changes over time of prison homicides and suicides in Chile between 2000 and 2024.</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Methods</jats:title> <jats:p>National and regional cases of homicides and suicides in prison were obtained by year through Transparency Council requests to the Chilean prison authority. Corresponding incidence data in the general population were retrieved from publicly available sources. Incidence rates were estimated per 100,000 person-years of imprisonment and compared between regions. The proportion of external causes of death among overall mortality in prison was also calculated. Prais-Winsten autoregressive models were used to analyze changes in incidence over time. Latent structures underlying the incidence were explored using principal component analysis (PCA).</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Results</jats:title> <jats:p>Incidence rates of external causes of death were 148 (95% CI: 127-170) in southern, 142 (95% CI: 133-151) in central, and 86 (95% CI: 74-99) per 100,000 person-years in northern regions. A decreasing slope in the national homicide incidence was observed (ß=–12.26, p&lt;0.0001), while several regions presented an increase (i.e., Los Ríos, a southern region; ß=21.57, p&lt;0.0001). Suicide incidence remained stable over time (ß=0.44, p=0.385). Settings with higher proportions of individuals convicted of violent offences and southern regions faced an elevated risk of suicide (ß=18.63, p=0.007).</jats:p> </jats:sec> <jats:sec> <jats:title>Conclusions</jats:title> <jats:p>Prevention policies and interventions for external causes of death should prioritize southern regions, those with increasing incident rates and with high proportions of individuals sentenced for violent offences.</jats:p> </jats:sec>

<jats:p><jats:bold>Introduction:</jats:bold> Mental health policies have encouraged removals of psychiatric beds in many countries. It is under debate whether to continue those trends. We conducted a systematic review of expert arguments for trends of psychiatric bed numbers.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:</jats:bold> We searched seven electronic databases and screened 15,479 papers to identify expert opinions, arguments and recommendations for trends of psychiatric bed numbers, published until December 2020. Data were synthesized using thematic analysis and classified into arguments to maintain or increase numbers and to reduce numbers.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:</jats:bold> One hundred six publications from 25 countries were included. The most common themes arguing for reductions of psychiatric bed numbers were inadequate use of inpatient care, better integration of care and better use of community care. Arguments to maintain or increase bed numbers included high demand of psychiatric beds, high occupancy rates, increasing admission rates, criminalization of mentally ill, lack of community care and inadequately short length of stay. Cost effectiveness and quality of care were used as arguments for increase or decrease.</jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:</jats:bold> The expert arguments presented here may guide and focus future debate on the required psychiatric bed numbers. The recommendations may help policymakers to define targets for psychiatric bed numbers. Arguments need careful local evaluation, especially when supporting opposite directions of trends in different contexts.</jats:p>
