Résumé : | Kariminia et al. present the results of a large register study of Australian prisoners' long-term mortality where they linked the prison record system with the register of death certificates. The most striking results are the elevated mortality rates exceeding by far the mortality in the general population. Among 85 203 prisoners with a mean follow-up of 7.7 years, they observed 5137 deaths corresponding to a crude mortality rate of 7.9/1000 person-years, confirming that (ex)prisoners are a high risk group. Although the crude mortality was slightly higher for men, the standardized mortality rate (SMR) was twice as high for women ex-prisoners (3.7 vs 7.8). [Extract] |
