Abstract

We examined mortality rates (MR) during 10 years between schizophrenic inpatients with and without tardive dyskinesia (TD). The TD group had a significantly higher MR (41%), as compared with the control group (20%). However, we could not reveal critical factors to explain why the TD patients had the higher MR.
