Epidemiological Characteristics of Sedative-Hypnotics and Opioid Painkillers at High-Frequency Exposure

doi:10.12116/j.issn.1004-5619.2020.300702

Abstract

Abstract:

Drug poisoning has a high incidence and serious consequences in medical institutions; its epidemiological characteristics also directly affect the changes in national laws and policies and the implementation of local management policies. Chinese statistics on drug-related abnormal death cases generally come from judicial appraisal centers and medical units. However, due to differences in work content and professional restrictions, there are differences in information management forms, which makes it difficult for appraisers to conduct a professional and systematic analysis of drug-related cases. This article focuses on the analysis of epidemiological characteristics of sedative-hypnotics and opioid painkillers and their exposure patterns in cases of poisoning death by analyzing the annual report of the American Association of Poison Control Center, combined with the characteristics of drug exposure in China.

Key words: forensic toxicology, intoxication, sedative-hypnotic, opioid painkillers, exposure, review
