Frequency of non-fatal heroin overdose: survey of heroin users recruited in non-clinical settings: Table 1
Open accessAbstract
Heroin users are at risk of overdose, sometimes with fatal consequences. Studies have examined accident and emergency room data1 and recorded deaths,2 though such figures underestimate the full extent to which overdoses occur and are only a rough indicator of the prevalence of overdose among drug takers. A recent Australian study reported that about two thirds of a sample of heroin injectors had taken an overdose.3 The present study describes the frequency of drug overdose and the factors related to overdose among heroin users recruited in non-clinical settings. During 1994, 438 heroin users were contacted and interviewed by privileged access interviewers4 as part of a study of early and episodic heroin users. Information on demographics, patterns of drug use, and overdose was collected by structured interviews. Onset of heroin use was comparatively recent for many of our sample (11% were in the first year of heroin use and 48% in the first three years of use), and …

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
