Notes: The information refers to the last year for which information on the deceased's characteristics was available. Number of deaths per country per year are presented in [Table DRD-2 part (i)]. Toxicology is computed as valid percentagens, over the cases with known toxocology. The computation basis for toxicology should be obtained by (No. of DRD) x (% known toxicology). (1) United Kingdom: (ONS); based on standard definition of Office for National Statistics (DSD); based on definition developed for the Drug Strategy. See [Methods and definitions – drug-related deaths]. (2) In Spain the population included is that corresponding to the coverage of information on drug-related deaths (five cities). (3) It is important to underline that comparisons of population rates should be made with extreme caution since there are still some differences in case definions and quality of reporting may be different. Sources: Reitox national reports 2004, taken from national mortality registries or special registries (forensic or police). Based on "National definitions" as presented in [Methods and definitions – drug-related deaths]. | ||||||||
