Abstract:
The present study is an attempt to establish the death rate of alcoholic patients with their various psycho-organic complications. The study was done on cases of alcoholic patients hospitalized in our Clinic over the past three decades. Thus, if the mortality index in 46,591 psychic patients hospitalized between 1959 and 1988 was of 0.36%, in alcoholics (totalling 5,580 of all patients) the mortality index was of 1.97%. An analysis of these figures with the aid of the X-square method showed a p of less than 0.001, indicating a significant difference with a probability of over 99.90% between these two groups of patients.
