Notes:
It is important to underline that comparisons of population rates should be made with extreme caution since there are still some differences in case definitions and quality of reporting may differ.
The calculations of population mortality rates are based on 2011 population sizes as reported by Eurostat.
Confidence intervals for the entire population are approximate, based on assuming a simple Poisson distribution for the number of deaths within each country. These intervals are likely to be an underestimate of the true 95 % C.I. width.
(1) For the Czech Republic, EMCDDA Selection D was used instead of the national definition. National definition includes also poisoning by psychoactive medicines, which accounts for most cases (162 cases out of 190).
(2) Due to the low number of drug-induced deaths in a year, three-year (Cyprus and Malta) averages were used. The results have been rounded to the nearest integral.
(3) Data for 2011 still provisional.
