RESUMEN
Se estudian todos los sujetos fallecidos en Galicia por reacción aguda tras consumo de drogas (RAD) en los que existe intervención judicial a lo largo del periodo 1997-2011, según los criterios establecidos por el Plan Nacional sobre Drogas para todo el territorio nacional. Se recogieron y analizaron variables sociodemográficas, clínicas y toxicológicas de cada uno de los casos. El objetivo fundamental es tratar de determinar los principales factores de riesgo y/o perfil de las poblaciones vulnerables, así como sugerir medidas preventivas. En total se registran 805 fallecimientos. La edad media de los fallecidos fue de 34,34 años, con un aumento progresivo a lo largo de los años. La mayoría eran varones (91,2%) y solteros (47,7%). El 43,5% de los fallecidos utilizaban la vía de administración parenteral y un 36,4% presentaban serología positiva frente al VIH. Las sustancias detectadas con más frecuencia correspondían a opiáceos (heroína 61,3%, metadona 35,6%), seguidos de cocaína (53,7 %), aunque el patrón más habitual era el policonsumo. Las cifras de mortalidad por RAD se mantienen relativamente estables a lo largo del periodo de estudio. El patrón predominante es el de varones, consumidores de opiáceos y con larga historia de consumo
ABSTRACT
The aim of this research is to study all people who died in the Autonomous Community of Galicia from acute death after drug consumption (ADR) in which there was judicial intervention during the period from 1997 to 2011, according to inclusion and exclusion criteria established by the National Drug Plan for the entire national territory. Sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of deceased subjects were studied, in order to identify key risk factors and/or vulnerable populations. A total of 805 deaths were recorded. The distribution by provinces and municipalities corresponds to the areas of greatest population, incidence of consumption and proximity to the coast. The average age of these patients was 34.34 years, with a gradual increase over years. Most of them were male (91.2%) and single (47.7). 43.5% of the deceased habitually used the parenteral route of administration and 36.4% had positive HIV serology. The most frequently-detected substances corresponded to opiates (heroin 61.3%, methadone 35.6%), followed by cocaine (53.7%), although the most common pattern was that of poly-consumption. ADR mortality figures remain relatively stable throughout the study period. The predominant pattern is that of males, opiates and a long history of consumption
