The aim of our study was to highlight the epidemiological difference in adult @entity944 between males and females. The type of pathologies found in adult victims of @entity944 was compared to control cases in order to determine the most significant pathologies involved in @entity944 . Among all autopsies performed between 1995 and 2009, 534 adult cases of @entity944 and 154 cases who violently died were respectively selected. For each case, a complete autopsy was carried out, including systematic histological examination of all major organs. The @entity944 was composed of 369 males and 165 females. There was no statistical difference regarding age between males and female. @entity944 took place more often at home in @entity1 than in @entity1 (p  <  0.0001). A stressful event was more frequently found in @entity1 than in @entity1 (p  =  0.03). @entity204 caused by @entity65 were more frequent in males than in females, especially @entity453 ( @entity453 ) (p  <  0.0001). @entity296 was more often the cause of @entity204 in @entity1 , particularly @entity1001 ( @entity1001 ). Cardiac pathologies were found in 45% of the control cases. @entity453 and @entity1001 were statistically more frequent in the @entity944 group than in the control group. According to our study, profile of @entity944 is different between males and females. Those data seem to be important for clinicians involved in prevention programs of @entity944 , as they can adapt their screening according to the gender.
