Preliminary figures provided by the health unit indicate a slight increase in the number of overdose deaths
Recent numbers published by the Sudbury health unit show that the opioid overdose problem had improved slightly a year ago, but have proved deadly throughout most of 2022.
Preliminary data from PHSD showed that from January through to the end of November last year there were 97 residents of Sudbury and Manitoulin districts who died from an overdose. For the same period the previous year , there were 91 overdose deaths locally, said the surveillance report. The numbers translate into a local annualized mortality rate of 51.1 deaths per 100,000 population per year. PHSD reported this number is "significantly higher" than the comparable rate for all of Ontario, which is only 16 deaths per 100,000 population per year.
Throughout 2022, PHSD reported there were 439 visits to emergency departments in the Sudbury and Manitoulin districts for confirmed opioid overdoses. This is a marked improvement over the number of emergency room visits recorded in the previous year , which was 636. This was a decrease of roughly 31 per cent.
