Analysis of trends in deaths from accidental drug poisoning in teenagers, 1985-95

Abstract
The anonymised records of all deaths from injury and poisoning in England and Wales among people aged 15 to 19 years inclusive during 1985-95 were obtained from the Office for National Statistics. Each record included the external cause of injury code (E code) of ICD-9 (the international classification of diseases, 9th revision), age, sex, and year of death. The numbers of people aged 15 to 19 in the general population in each year were obtained from published sources. Trends in death rates from accidental poisoning (E8500-8690) were examined using Poisson regression modelling.3
