Åhman A, et al. - Among people who inject amphetamine, mortality and causes of death were examined. Researchers, in addition, compared these results to the general population. Data from The Malmö Needle Exchange Program in Sweden (MNEP) and from The Swedish National Cause of Death Register were retrospectively assessed (from 1987 to 2011) for the participants with registered national identity number and amphetamine as their primary drug of injection use. Findings revealed significantly higher mortality among people injecting amphetamine as a primary drug compared to the general population, with high rates of both external and somatic causes of death.
