Abstract
The information presented demonstrates that for psychotic aged individuals 60 years and over, one in five will be dead 30 days after admission to a state hospital, that one in 2 will be dead before a year has passed, that these figures probably have national validity, with adjustments for circumstance, and have been constant for at least the past 30 years.
