Background:

There is an excess of death from natural causes among people with major psychiatric disorders. Several reasons have been argued to explain this excess of death (Antipsychotic Agents, high nicotine dependence…).

Objective:

Our objective was to examine and compare mortality rates in a historical cohort study of 166 psychiatric inpatients along one year.

Method:

Mortality rates were examined in our cohort of patients from January 1, 2003 to December 31, 2003.

Results:

11(6.62%) patients died along the year studied. Only 2 (18%) of the died patient were women. The main cause of mortality in our cohort of patients was cardiovascular diseases.

Conclusions:

Inpatients with major psychiatric disorders appear to be at greater risk for cardiovascular mortality than those in the general population.
