Résumé : | This report presents the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) database of deaths from drug-related poisoning and covers the five-year period from 1999 to 2003. The database contains information on deaths from 1993. Results for earlier years were published in previous editions of Health Statistics Quarterly. This report presents new data for 2003. Data for 1999 to 2002 are provided for comparison purposes. Background: In 1999 ONS developed a database to facilitate research into deaths related to drug poisoning and to aid the identification of specific substances involved in these deaths. The database currently contains data on all deaths on the annual occurrence data files for England and Wales between 1993 and 2003 where the underlying cause of death is regarded as resulting from drug-related poisoning, according to the current National Statistics definition. These are deaths coded according to the International Classification of Diseases Ninth Revision (ICD-9) for 1993 to 2000 and ICD-10 for 2001 onwards. The database covers accidents and suicides involving drug poisoning, as well as poisonings due to drug abuse and drug dependence, but not other adverse effects of drugs. The range of substances it contains is wide, including legal and illegal drugs, prescription drugs and over-the-counter medications. It does not include poisoning with non-medicinal substances such as household, agricultural or industrial chemicals. For each death the database includes every mention of a substance recorded on the death certificate or mentioned by the coroner. Almost all deaths on the database had a coroners inquest. |
