Suicide in people prescribed opioid-agonist therapy in Scotland, United Kingdom, 2011–2020: A national retrospective cohort study 🔓

Addiction

This retrospective cohort study aimed to determine if opioid agonist therapy (OAT) in Scotland is protective against suicide, and measure trends in suicide rates in those with opioid dependence over time. The study included 46,453 individuals who received at least one prescription for OAT between 2011 and 2020 with over 304,000 person-years (pys) of follow-up. Results suggested that people with opioid dependence in Scotland have a greater risk of suicide than the general population. Treatment is protective, with rates of suicide lower among those on opioid agonist therapy. Suicide rates have decreased over time, during a period in which drug-related death rates in Scotland have risen to globally high levels.
