Inclusion Criteria For Intoxicant Types Specified

Each of the ICD-10 codes included in the 2003 count of "drug-induced" mortality records was evaluated to help determine the presence of illicit intoxicating substances. While some of the codes used to indicate the underlying cause of death provide an indication of what type of intoxicating substance may be involved in a given mortality record, there are another series of ICD-10 codes ("R" "T" and "Y" - series) that offer more specific information about which intoxicants are indicated for each mortality record. For each code used to tally the presence of various intoxicants indicated on each drug-induced mortality record the ICD-10 code itself and its description is indicated below. Details of which drug types are involved in specific cause of death categories can be explored from the drug induced death distribution by death category and drug type page.
