Notes: See: Drug related deaths – methods and definitions – see the EMCDDA definitions. Absolute numbers from different countries are not directly comparable since differences remain in quality of recording methods. (1) Data for Austria is under review (2) From 2002, the full Selection B has been used (3) T40.4 code (other synthetic narcotics, which includes mainly dextropropoxyphene) is not included in the Swedish extraction (4) Here it is presented data for full Selection B. The national ‘Drug Strategy Definition’ is similar to Selection B, but excluding cases with only dextropropoxyphene, dihydrocodeine and codeine. (5) Selection B is approximate to the national definition, which does not include 'intentional poisoning' (ICD - 10 codes: X61, X62) See also 'General notes for interpreting data' on the Explanatory notes and help page.
