“…Males constituted the majority of the poisoned patients; however, the authors of the presented study noticed a rising tendency towards the use of opiates and psychoactive substances among women, from 7.7% in 1993 to 27.1% in 2008. Similar trend was also perceived in the Oslo study [1] where males used more illicit drugs, such as opioids and amphetamine than females. We presume that the reasons for substance abuse by females may result from complex factors such as: biological Three patients (1.4%) of 201 treated at the Poisoning Treatment Centre in Milan, included into the study on parasuicide and self-poisoning, took a substance of abuse (cocaine, heroin) or methadone [3].…”

“…Den høye andelen med psykisk lidelse, rus eller gjentatte forgiftninger i materialet gjenspeiler at det store flertallet av forgiftninger skyldtes selvskading/selvmordsforsøk eller rus. Dette er også sett i andre undersø-kelser, for eksempel i en studie fra Oslo, der 96% av forgiftningene var selvpåførte (rus eller selvskading) (8). Effektiv behandling av rusmisbruk og psykiske lidelser kan dermed som en bieffekt tenkes å gi faerre akutte forgiftninger.…”
