Is there an increased relative risk of death in severe neurosis? 1,482 patients from three psychiatric units in different hospitals in Birmingham were followed-up after a mean of 10.9 years. 91 per cent of the sample were traced and 139 patients were found to have died; a highly significant increased mortality for both sexes for all causes of death. Although suicide and accidents contributed disproportionately, particularly in early follow-up, there was still a markedly increased mortality from the combined categories of nervous respiratory and cardiovascular disease, more evenly distributed in time.
严重神经症患者的相对死亡风险是否会增加？对来自伯明翰不同医院三个精神科病房的1482名患者进行了平均10.9年的随访。样本中91%的患者被追踪到，发现139名患者已经死亡；所有死因导致的男女死亡率均显著增加。尽管自杀和意外事故造成的死亡比例过高，尤其是在随访初期，但神经、呼吸和心血管疾病综合类别导致的死亡率仍显著增加，且在时间上分布更为均匀。
