The purpose of this review is to outline current knowledge on the life expectation of people suffering from organic brain disease, the techniques available for describing and comparing life expectation in populations, factors which are associated with longer and shorter life expectation, and the causes of death among patients with this condition.

SummaryDuring a six-month period, physical disorder was found among 50 per cent of the 133 patients at a day hospital. Few of these cases (5) had organic brain syndromes. Among the remainder (62) physical disorder was not associated with sex, formal psychiatric diagnosis or time of referral to the hospital; of those 33 patients with a neurological disorder, one-third had previously been diagnosed to be hysterical. For this ‘hysterical’ group, however, associations with folate deficiency, organic brain disease, and depression were noted. The need is demonstrated for routine investigations among day hospital patients with particular attention for those with atypical features.
