This study estimated morbidity and mortality attributable to substance abuse in Canada.
Pooled estimates of relative risk were used to calculate etiologic fractions by age, gender, and province for 91 causes of disease or death attributable to alcohol, tobacco, or illicit drugs.
There were 33,498 deaths and 208,095 hospitalizations attributed to tobacco, 6701 deaths and 86,076 hospitalizations due to alcohol, and 732 deaths and 7095 hospitalizations due to illicit drugs in 1992.
Substance abuse exacts a considerable toll on Canadian society in terms of morbidity and mortality, accounting for 21% of deaths, 23% of years of potential life lost, and 8% of hospitalizations.
本研究估算了加拿大药物滥用所致的发病率和死亡率。
采用相对风险的汇总估计值，按年龄、性别和省份计算91种因酒精、烟草或非法药物所致疾病或死亡原因的病因分数。
1992年，烟草导致33498例死亡和208095例住院治疗，酒精导致6701例死亡和86076例住院治疗，非法药物导致732例死亡和7095例住院治疗。
药物滥用在发病率和死亡率方面给加拿大社会造成了相当大的损失，占死亡人数的21%、潜在寿命损失年数的23%以及住院治疗的8%。
