Unusual accidental deaths recorded for former public psychiatric patients during a 3-year period in Missouri were compared with data previously published on suicide and undetermined deaths. Demographic and diagnostic data suggested that undetermined deaths resemble suicides, while the remaining unusual accidents do not. For purposes of estimating incidence or prevalence, it is recommended that "undetermined deaths" might well be combined with suicides, while the remaining accidents should not.
对密苏里州三年内记录的前公立精神病患者的异常意外死亡情况与先前发表的自杀和死因不明死亡数据进行了比较。人口统计学和诊断数据表明，死因不明的死亡与自杀相似，而其余异常事故则不然。为了估计发病率或患病率，建议将“死因不明的死亡”与自杀合并计算，而其余事故则不应如此。
