Abstract
Aims People with experience of mental illness, in particular those accessing mental health services, have increased mortality compared to the general population, but no studies have examined the situation in New Zealand. This study uses a complete national dataset to estimate mortality rates from natural and external causes for adults using psychiatric services compared to the general New Zealand population.
Methods Routinely collected data on adults aged 18–64 using secondary mental health services between January 2002 and December 2010 were linked to death registrations over the same period. Indirect standardisation was used to estimate the mortality ratio (SMR) for those with any contact with mental health services over this period compared to the New Zealand population.
