| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we demonstrated that psychiatric inpatients evacuated from hospitals in the mandatory evacuation order area showed extremely high standardized mortality ratio (SMR). SMR is an index for comparing mortality rates by removing differences in population composition. It was considered that physical complications seen in most inpatients were possibly the chief cause of the marked increase in the SMR. Also, it seems reasonable that the psychological and physical burdens associated with evacuation elevated these inpatients’ SMR. Based on this finding, we should be particularly cautious about susceptibility to post-disaster emergency periods among these socially vulnerable people.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究は、精神科入院患者の避難転院における死亡率の高さを明らかにした。これは、首都直下型地震、東海・東南海・南海地震といった、今後発生が確実視される大規模広域災害における精神科入院患者の避難転院のあり方、および広域避難転院後の転帰を検討する際の貴重な資料となりうる。さらに、精神科患者のみならず、介護福祉施設入居者における広域避難の転帰を検討する際の参考資料にできるだろう。
