Alcohol-induced psychosis and delirium tremens: a comparison with alcohol dependence on demographic characteristics, mortality, and morbidity

This study reveals that patients with DT experience higher morbidity and mortality rates compared to those with AIP and AD. AIP patients did not show increased all-cause or cause-specific mortality compared to AD patients across a variety of causes. Notably, AIP seemed to be more closely linked to comorbid schizophrenia spectrum disorders than AD and DT patients. The findings underscore the complexities of AIP in relation to schizophrenia and highlight significant differences in health outcomes among the three patient groups.
