Drug-related death rates associated with prescribed and illicit benzodiazepine exposure among people receiving opioid-agonist treatment in Scotland, 2015 to 2020
BACKGROUND: Opioid agonist treatment (OAT) reduces mortality among individuals with opioid dependence. Benzodiazepine co-prescribing with OAT has previously been associated with increased rates of drug-related death (DRD). In Scotland, rising DRD rates have coincided with increasing detection of illicit benzodiazepines at post-mortem. We quantified DRD rates associated with prescribed and baseline self-reported illicit benzodiazepine exposure amo…
Covid-19 vaccination uptake and risk of severe Covid-19 disease among those in, and released from, prison care in Scotland
Our findings highlight the important role of prisons in facilitating rapid high coverage of vaccination, involving accelerated schedules where appropriate, to help mitigate the raised risk of severe disease outcomes among both those incarcerated and released into the community
Using modelling and public health surveillance data to evidence progress towards the WHO incidence target for hepatitis C elimination in people who inject drugs - a review of complementary approaches …
Risk of drug-related mortality among people receiving opioid-agonist treatment during the Covid-19 pandemic in Scotland
During the COVID-19 pandemic in Scotland, DRD rates remained stable following a three-fold rise since 2011-13. The protective effect of OAT was sustained during the pandemic, which highlights the importance of maintaining access to OAT during public health crises
Evaluating the effect of direct-acting antiviral agent treatment scale-up on Hepatitis C virus prevalence among people who inject drugs in UK
Real-world evidence showing substantial reductions in chronic HCV associated with increase of HCV treatment scale-up in the community thus supporting the effectiveness of HCV treatment as prevention in people who inject drugs
Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on HIV Test Uptake Among People Who Inject Drugs in the Context of an HIV Outbreak
Glasgow, Scotland's largest city, has been experiencing an HIV outbreak among people who inject drugs (PWID) since 2015. A key focus of the public health response has been to increase HIV testing among those at risk of infection. Our aim was to assess the impact of COVID-19 on HIV testing among PWID in Glasgow. HIV test uptake in the last 12 months was quantified among: (1) PWID recruited in six Needle Exchange Surveillance Initiative (NESI) surv…
National increase in the community supply of take‐home naloxone associated with a mass media campaign in Scotland
Sars-CoV-2 vaccine uptake and risks of severe Covid-19 disease among people prescribed opioid agonist therapy in Scotland
BACKGROUND: There is limited evidence quantifying the risk of severe COVID-19 disease among people with opioid dependence. We examined vaccine uptake and severe disease (admission to critical care or death with COVID-19) among individuals prescribed opioid agonist therapy (OAT). METHOD: A case-control design was used to examine vaccine uptake in those prescribed OAT compared with the general population, and the association between severe disease …
