Title Mortality among people who inject drugs : a systematic review and meta-analysis Type Journal Article
Year 2013 Publication Bulletin of the World Health Organization Abbreviated Journal
Volume 91 Issue 2; 02/2013 Pages 102-123
Keywords AOD user; intravenous drug user; risk; AODR mortality; AOD overdose mortality; viral disease; communicable disease; HIV infection; Aids; statistical data; meta-analysis; international area
Abstract Objective To systematically review cohort studies of mortality among people who inject drugs, examine mortality rates and causes of death in this group, and identify participant- and study-level variables associated with a higher risk of death. Methods Tailored search strings were used to search EMBASE, Medline and PsycINFO. The grey literature was identified through online grey literature databases. Experts were consulted to obtain additional studies and data. Random effects meta-analyses were performed to estimate pooled crude mortality rates (CMRs) and standardized mortality ratios (SMRs). Findings Sixty-seven cohorts of people who inject drugs were identified, 14 of them from low- and middle-income countries. The pooled CMR was 2.35 deaths per 100 person–years (95% confidence interval, CI: 2.12–2.58). SMRs were reported for 32 cohorts; the pooled SMR was 14.68 (95% CI: 13.01–16.35). Comparison of CMRs and the calculation of CMR ratios revealed mortality to be higher in low- and middle-income country cohorts, males and people who injected drugs that were positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). It was also higher during off-treatment periods. Drug overdose and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) were the primary causes of death across cohorts. Conclusion Compared with the general population, people who inject drugs have an elevated risk of death, although mortality rates vary across different settings. Any comprehensive approach to improving health outcomes in this group must include efforts to reduce HIV infection as well as other causes of death, particularly drug overdose.

Title Annual report 2006 : selected issues Type Report
Year 2006 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 57
Keywords government and politics; laws and regulations; illicit drug; gender; AOD use behavior; Europe
Abstract Selected issues: 1: European drug policies: extended beyond illicit drugs? Nearly all European countries now frame their drug policy initiatives within an overall national drugs strategy or action plan. An in-depth analysis of drug policy in Europe in this selected issue reveals a broadening of the scope of these drug strategies to encompass licit addictive substances, such as alcohol, tobacco and medicines, as well as illicit drugs. 2: A gender perspective on drug use and responding to drug problems The influence of gender not only on patterns and levels of drug consumption in Europe but also on how responses to drug problems are planned and implemented is explored in this selected issue. Based on a scientific analysis of the available data, it concludes that policy-makers, professionals and scientists must always take gender into consideration in the planning of research, analysis, interventions and policy in the drugs field. 3: Developments in drug use within recreational settings This selected issue covers all aspects of drug use by young people in music and dance settings, providing data on prevalence and patterns of use, drug availability and the role of the Internet in drug supply and promotion. The risk factors for this type of drug use are outlined as are the health consequences of drug use in these settings. Responses to drug use in recreational settings are covered in depth, both in terms of legislation at national and European levels and in terms of drug prevention programmes.
