BackgroundSeveral studies, mainly non-UK based, have reported higher than expected mortality for individuals with mental illness. This investigation in Salford (England) was undertaken to determine local experiences.MethodAn historical cohort design was employed with record linkage to determine status at study end: maximum follow-up was 18 years. All 6952 individuals with schizophrenia, neuroses, affective or personality disorders, enrolled on the psychiatric case register between 1 January 1968 and 31 December 1975 were recruited: there were 199 exclusions. Death was the study end-point.ResultsObserved mortality was 65% higher than expected and elevated throughout the whole of follow-up. Mortality was highest in younger ages, females and subjects born locally. Circulatory disorders, injury and poisoning each caused approximately one-third of the excess deaths.ConclusionsDocumenting mortality risk has important applications for prioritisation, resource allocation, developing control programmes, evaluating service effectiveness, disease forecasting and future research.

There is a well-established tradition in standardized evaluation of the symptomatology and the social performance of psychiatric patients (Wing et al. 1974; WHO, 1983b; Platt, 1983) together with instruments for describing the pattern of contacts with services, like Psychiatric Case Registers (Wing & Hailey, 1972; ten Horn et al. 1986). Interest in a systematic assessment procedure for recording which action should be taken by services in the presence of a problem is more recent. Instruments for these evaluations are still experimental.

SummaryCase registers have been fundamental to mental health research from the early asylum studies onwards. Having declined in popularity over the past 20 years, they are likely to see a resurgence of interest with the advent of electronic clinical records and the technological capacity to derive anonymised databases from these.

SummaryA study was carried out to compare the sensitivity as well as cost of three different methods of psychiatric case detection. It was found that the simplest method, which involved interviewing about 3 per cent of the adult population, with a questionnaire taking only five minutes to complete, picked up as many adult epileptics and nearly as many psychotics as the inquiry with all the adults in the population using a sophisticated structured interview schedule. A method of medium complexity, in which the short five-minute questionnaire was given to one adult member of each family, detected in addition to all adult epileptics and psychotics, and many juvenile epileptics and mentally retarded.The cost of the simplest method was one-ninth and that of the method of medium complexity, one-fifth of the cost of the most sophisticated method.The method of medium complexity is recommended for use in the rural psychiatry programme of the developing countries.

SynopsisData derived from a psychiatric case-register are presented on the accumulation of new long-stay cases in Salford from 1967 to 1976. The analysis supports the general decline reported in an earlier shorter-term study except for the over 65s, where the trend was reversed. The implications of the findings are discussed.
