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…
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
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 …
Why are drug-related deaths among women increasing in Scotland? A mixed-methods analysis of possible explanations
Drug-related deaths have increased significantly in Scotland in recent years, with a much greater percentage increase in deaths among women than among men. We undertook a mixed-methods project to identify explanations for this trend, comprising three parallel methodological strands: (i) an analysis of available routine data, including drug treatment data, death registrations, and surveys of people using needle exchanges; (ii) thematic analysis of…
A rapid assessment of take-home naloxone provision during Covid-19 in Europe
Through programme innovation supported by public guidelines, many European THN programmes managed to ensure stable or even increased THN provision during the pandemic, despite social distancing and stay-at-home orders affecting client mobility
