    Abstract : Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) constitute a significant health problem with consequences for the patient as well as for society. Suspected ADRs have been reported to occur in about 2-14% of hospitalised patients. In about 5% of deceased hospitalised patients suspected ADRs may have caused or contributed to the fatal outcome.

  5. 3. Pharmacogenetics from a Forensic Perspective : CYP2D6 and CYP2C19 genotype distributions in autopsy cases

    Author : Anna-Lena Zackrisson; Johan Ahlner; Bertil Lindblom; Magnus Ingelman-Sundberg; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

    Abstract : In Sweden about 550 individuals die every year due to drug intoxication.

The most common drugs found among intoxication cases are psychiatric drugs and analgesics. READ MORE

    Author : Carl Söderberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Postmortem diagnosis of fatal intoxications is complicated. Autopsy findings indicative of an intoxication related death are scarce and mostly unspecific. Instead, the diagnosis is more dependent on the circumstances surrounding death, and on the toxicological results. READ MORE
