Conclusion:
• High risk group that require…
• Broader health care in recovery orientated systems of care and health improvement as part of recovery journey
• Targeted interventions or through general services?
• Generalists and addiction specialists need new evidence base and guidance

Systemic disease among cases of fatal opioid toxicityShane Darke et al Addiction,101,1299–1305, 2006
Key findings
– Cardiac, Respiratory, Liver disease common– Renal with increasing age– Systemic disease in more than one organ system was
present in 24.4% of cases, and was related to increasing age (44% of those aged > 44 years)

Older and sicker: Changing mortality of drug users in treatment in the North West of EnglandC. Beynon et al. / International Journal of Drug Policy 21 (2010) 429–431
Key Findings– 77% of deaths in drug users over 40 are NOT drug related
deaths– The odds of a drug user aged 40 and over dying from a non-
drug related death were 3.27 the odds of a person aged less than 40 dying from a non-drug related death
– Liver diseases (15.3%), neoplasm (13.1%), chronic lower respiratory infections (8.3%) and viral hepatitis (6.1%) were most common causes of death for non drug related deaths

The importance of blood-borne viruses in elevated cancer risk among opioid-dependent people: a population-based cohort studySwart A, Burns L, Mao L, et al.BMJ Open 2012;2:e001755. doi:10.1136/bmjopen-2012-001755
Key messages– People who are opioid dependent have an excess risk of a
range of cancers compared with the general population (lung, Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma and liver in particular).
– The excess cancer risk is predominantly restricted to those with blood-borne virus infection.
– Cancer incidence rates have increased dramatically over time, supporting use of the opioid substitution therapy (OST) setting to opportunistically implement targeted cancer prevention strategies.
