A study of mortality among alcoholics was carried out involving patients discharged from the alcoholic ward of a Hamamatsu University-affiliated hospital from 1972 to 1984 (1021 patients). The average age at death was 48.4 years. The causes of death were divided into three groups; 'diseases', 'accidents', 'suicide and homicide', accounting for 73.5%, 10.5% and 7.3% of 257 deaths, respectively. Death rates per 1000 persons for the years at risk were compared with the expected rates for the general population. Briefly, the death rates for patients were more than 10 times as large as those in the general population. Our results showed that liver cirrhosis and heart failure ranked high among the causes of death in alcoholics. Among patients who died, only 3.1% were total abstainers after discharge from hospital, which was an extremely low proportion in comparison with the average cross-total abstinence rate of 25.8% among patients after discharge.
一项针对酗酒者死亡率的研究，涉及1972年至1984年从滨松大学附属医院戒酒病房出院的患者（共1021例患者）。死亡的平均年龄为48.4岁。死亡原因分为三组：“疾病”、“事故”、“自杀和他杀”，在257例死亡病例中分别占73.5%、10.5%和7.3%。将各风险年份每1000人的死亡率与普通人群的预期死亡率进行了比较。简而言之，患者的死亡率是普通人群的10倍以上。我们的研究结果表明，肝硬化和心力衰竭在酗酒者的死亡原因中排名靠前。在死亡的患者中，出院后完全戒酒的仅占3.1%，与出院后患者25.8%的平均完全戒酒率相比，这一比例极低。
