Arzneiüberdosis führt zu fast 30% Todesfällen in einem Jahr in US

By Ninian Carter

July 15, 2021 - Amerikaner starben im letzten Jahr immer öfter an einer Überdosis von
Medikamenten, die Todesfälle stiegen 30% auf über 90.000 laut CDC Bericht*

Drug overdose deaths in the United States rose by 29.4% in 2020, according to a new report by the CDC’s National Center for Health Statistics.

An estimated 93,331 drug overdose deaths were reported in 2020 up from 72,151 estimated fatalities the year before.

Overdose deaths from opioids rose 37% in 12 months, to 69,710, largely fuelled by synthetic opioids like fentanyl and semi-synthetic opioids such as prescription painkillers.
