After remaining stable from 2010 to 2014, the rate of cocaine-involved overdose death increased sharply from 2015 to 2016. This study aims to determine the contribution of opioids, and fentanyl in particular, to the increase in cocaine-involved overdose death from 2015 to 2016. Using New York City death certificate data linked to medical examiner toxicology data, we identified all overdose deaths where post-mortem toxicology results were positive for cocaine from 2010 to 2016. We analyzed cocaine-involved overdose deaths by co-occurring substances. Age-adjusted rates per 100,000 residents were calculated for 6-month intervals from 2010 to 2016. Data suggest that increased deaths involving opioids, specifically fentanyl, accounted for most of the increase in cocaine-involved deaths from 2015 to 2016.
在 2010 年至 2014 年期间保持稳定后,2015 年至 2016 年可卡因相关用药过量死亡人数急剧增加。本研究旨在确定阿片类药物(特别是芬太尼)对 2015 年至 2016 年可卡因相关用药过量死亡人数增加的贡献。我们使用纽约市死亡证明数据与法医毒理学数据进行关联,确定了 2010 年至 2016 年所有死后毒理学检测结果呈可卡因阳性的用药过量死亡案例。我们通过同时存在的物质对可卡因用药过量死亡案例进行分析。我们计算了 2010 年至 2016 年每六个月间隔的每 10 万居民年龄调整后的发生率。数据表明,涉及阿片类药物(特别是芬太尼)的死亡人数增加是 2015 年至 2016 年可卡因相关死亡人数增加的主要原因。
