During a 5-year follow-up of 154 male and female patients treated for alcoholism at the Donwood Institute, 22 deaths were recorded--almost 4 times the expected number. Typical causes were accidents, suicide, cirrhosis of the liver, cancers of the upper digestive and respiratory tracts and ischemic heart disease. Compared with other samples of alcoholics, unusually few deaths occurred during the first 2 years of follow-up, which suggests the importance of the post-treatment attention given to these patients and the need to greatly extend the duration of aftercare.
在唐伍德研究所接受治疗的154名酗酒男女患者的5年随访期间，记录了22例死亡病例——几乎是预期数量的4倍。典型病因包括事故、自杀、肝硬化、上消化道和呼吸道癌症以及缺血性心脏病。与其他酗酒者样本相比，随访的前两年死亡病例异常少，这表明对这些患者进行治疗后护理的重要性以及大幅延长后续护理时间的必要性。
