The impact of illegal drug consumption on general mortality in Spain is unknown. We aimed to quantify this impact for the period 1994-2000.
Number of directly drug-related deaths from HIV among injecting drug users as well as others -- both taken from the General Mortality Register (GMR). Next, corrections were made, multiplying the aforementioned figures by the percentage of injecting drug users in the AIDS register in the first case, and by the underestimation index in the second. This index was calculated comparing the GMR with the specific drug-related register in certain areas.
In Spain, mortality from illegal drug use fell from 22.7 per 100,000 inhabitants, aged 15-49 years (16.4% of all deaths) in 1996 to 8.9/100,000 in 2000 (7.8% of all deaths), meaning a 58% decrease in general mortality. In 2000, drug-related deaths surpassed AIDS mortality in the group of men aged 15-49 years.
Illegal drug use continues to be an important cause of death among young people in Spain. Overdose is the most likely primary cause of death in drug consumers.
非法药物消费对西班牙总体死亡率的影响尚不清楚。我们旨在量化1994 - 2000年期间的这种影响。
注射吸毒者以及其他人群中直接因毒品相关的艾滋病死亡人数——均取自总体死亡率登记册（GMR）。接下来进行了校正，在第一种情况下，将上述数字乘以艾滋病登记册中注射吸毒者的百分比，在第二种情况下，乘以低估指数。该指数是通过将GMR与某些地区特定的毒品相关登记册进行比较计算得出的。
在西班牙，15至49岁居民中非法药物使用导致的死亡率从1996年的每10万人22.7例（占所有死亡人数的16.4%）降至2000年的每10万人8.9例（占所有死亡人数的7.8%），这意味着总体死亡率下降了58%。2000年，在15至49岁男性群体中，与毒品相关的死亡人数超过了艾滋病导致的死亡人数。
在西班牙，非法药物使用仍是年轻人死亡的一个重要原因。过量用药是吸毒者最可能的主要死因。
