| mortality risk up to 25 years after initiation of treatment among 420 swedish women with alcohol addiction. | women treated for alcohol addiction have mortality rates three to five times those of women from the general population (gp). however, these figures may be inflated because socially disadvantaged women with advanced drinking careers are over-represented in previous studies. our aim was to study the long-term mortality of socially relatively well-functioning patients coming to their first treatment, compared to matched gp controls. | 2009 | 19207349 |
