Transcription

1 This report summarises prescription opiate-related overdose deaths reported to the BC Coroners Service between 2005 and 2010 with a classification of accidental, suicide, or undetermined. Cases were included if the investigating coroner determined that any of the following drug types were relevant to the death: codeine, fentanyl, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, meperidine, morphine, or oxycodone. The data includes cases where a single drug was used and cases where multiple drugs were taken in combination, but excludes cases involving the illicit use of prescription opiates. The BCCS operates in a live database environment. The data are considered preliminary until all investigations have been completed. Data are subject to change, and are not directly comparable to published counts from previous years. Summary 61% of deaths were accidental overdoses, and 33.6% were suicide deaths 51.1% of decedents were male, and 48.9% were female 58.4% of decedents were between 40 and 59 years of age The Interior region appears to have the highest rate of prescription opiate-related overdose deaths for, with 2.8 deaths per 100,000. The death rate was 1.9 for both the Island and Northern regions, and 1.3 for both the Fraser and Metro regions. The Coroners Service and Interior Health Authority are currently engaged in a further analysis of the Interior data. Page 1 of 6
