All @entity1 over the age of 60 who experienced @entity410 between 1979-83, were registered. The number of @entity204 was registered until July 2, 1985. Included were 162 @entity1 who received no anti- @entity302 drugs prior to the study period; 87 @entity1 had established @entity302 at the time of admission. The number of @entity204 among previously untreated @entity1 significantly exceeded expectation. Mortality was not significantly correlated to severity of @entity302 . In @entity1 with @entity1313 all but one died within the first year. Mortality among @entity1 with postapoplectic @entity410 was significantly higher than expected being especially during the first year. Numbers of @entity204 among @entity1 with @entity410 of unknown cause did not differ from the expected, neither did causes of @entity204 . Numbers of @entity204 in @entity1 with established @entity302 at the time of admission was significantly higher than expected although none had @entity5 and only 4 had postapoplectic @entity410 thus illustrating the influence of selecting @entity1 with @entity302 . Eleven @entity1 died suddenly and unexpectedly of unknown cause, which was more than expected. These @entity1 were found dead under circumstances compatible with @entity204 occurring during @entity410 . @entity302 was mentioned on the @entity204 certificate in only one case, indicating that the frequency of sudden, unexpected @entity204 among @entity302 could easily be underestimated.
