Abstract:

The purpose of the work is to study the prevalence of overdose deaths from narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances in Russia, as determined by forensic autopsies, for the period 2003 to 2018. For the study, medical statistics were processed, the percentages for each indication were calculated, and the changes in the percentages for different types of overdose deaths were noted. It was established in forensic autopsies for the period under study, that the percentage of narcotic overdose deaths ranged from 4.2% to 16.6% of the total number of poisonings, while the percentage of overdose deaths from psychotropic substances ranged from 0.7% to 1.3%.
