The histories of 778 patients were analysed in respect of the course, type of treatment and lethality of delirium tremens. The lethality was highest in patients in the higher age range, those who were overweight and in spirit drinkers. The lowest mortality was in the patients treated with chlormethiazole (other drugs used included haloperidol and phenothiazines).
