合成阿片类药物过量死亡(例如,芬太尼)在美国从2013年到2018年增加了10倍,尽管这类阿片类药物在密西西比河以西的非法毒品市场上很少见。公共卫生专业人士担心,美国西部药物市场的“芬太尼突破”可能会进一步加速过量死亡率。我们使用最新的可用数据评估了美国西部芬太尼死亡的数量和性质。我们系统地搜索了密西西比河以西的司法管辖区,以获取自2018年以来与芬太尼相关的死亡的公开数据,这是疾病控制和预防中心(CDC)的最新统计数据。使用2019年和2020年的死亡率数据,我们确定了芬太尼相关死亡率的变化以及涉及芬太尼的致命海洛因,兴奋剂和处方药过量的比例。七个司法管辖区在2019年12月或之后公开了芬太尼死亡数据:亚利桑那州;加州;科罗拉多州丹佛县;德克萨斯州哈里斯县;华盛顿州金县;加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县;德克萨斯州达拉斯-沃思堡(丹顿,约翰逊,帕克和塔兰特县)。在研究期间,所有报告的芬太尼死亡增加。他们对全国合成毒品死亡率的集体贡献从2017年到2019年增加了371%。2020年的数据显示,芬太尼死亡率比2019年增长了63%。芬太尼与海洛因、兴奋剂和处方药死亡的关系大幅增加。芬太尼已经向西蔓延,短期内增加了死亡人数,并有可能使该国已经严重的阿片类药物流行病在长期内急剧恶化。应优先考虑增加纳洛酮的标准剂量,扩大医疗补助,提高成瘾治疗的覆盖率,以及公共卫生教育活动。
Overdose deaths from synthetic opioids (e.g., fentanyl) increased 10-fold in the United States from 2013 to 2018, despite such opioids being rare in illicit drug markets west of the Mississippi River. Public health professionals have feared a “fentanyl breakthrough” in western U.S. drug markets could further accelerate overdose mortality. We evaluated the number and nature of western U.S. fentanyl deaths using the most recent data available. We systematically searched jurisdictions west of the Mississippi River for publicly available data on fentanyl-related deaths since 2018, the most recent Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) statistics. Using mortality data from 2019 and 2020, we identified changes in fentanyl-related mortality rate and proportion of fatal heroin-, stimulant, and prescription pill overdoses involving fentanyl. Seven jurisdictions had publicly available fentanyl death data through December 2019 or later: Arizona; California; Denver County, CO; Harris County, TX; King County, WA; Los Angeles County, CA; and Dallas-Fort Worth, TX (Denton, Johnson, Parker, and Tarrant counties). All reported increased fentanyl deaths over the study period. Their collective contribution to national synthetic narcotics mortality increased 371 % from 2017 to 2019. Available 2020 data shows a 63 % growth in fentanyl-mortality over 2019. Fentanyl-involvement in heroin, stimulant, and prescription pill deaths has substantially grown. Fentanyl has spread westward, increasing deaths in the short-term and threatening to dramatically worsen the nation’s already severe opioid epidemic in the long-term. Increasing the standard dose of naloxone, expanding Medicaid, improving coverage of addiction treatment, and public health educational campaigns should be prioritized.
