 As an aging society, Japan faces a growing number of deaths among patients in psychiatric hospitals. In this study, we reviewed 251 death certificates from a psychiatric hospital with 282 beds in Tochigi Prefecture over the last 20 years(January 1996 to December 2015). We compared causes of death between patients with organic mental disorders including dementia(F0 category)and patients with schizophrenia(F2 category). In this study, 115 patients were classified as F0, 79 were as F2;23 were in other categories, and 34 were not otherwise specified according to ICD-10. Among F0 patients, the most common cause of death was respiratory infection(63%). Among F2 patients, respiratory infection was also the most common(39%), followed by malignant tumors(18%), gastrointestinal disorders(12%), and sudden death(11%). Mean age at death was 10 years younger in F2 patients than in F0 patients. The long-term use of antipsychotics might affect the shorter duration of life in F2 patients and warrants further studies.
