abstract="Rates of mortality were determined in patients attending an alcoholic assessment centre. The study group comprised 1068 patients, studied for a mean of 1.5 years after referral. A total of 50 deaths occurred, being four times the expected death rate in the general population. Significantly increased mortality rates were found for deaths from cirrhosis, other digestive disease, cardiovascular disease, neoplasms, trauma and alcoholism. In 15 patients death was due to definite alcohol-related causes.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
