This surveillance report presents emergency department, prescription, and mortality data associated with opioid and other substances of misuse in Alberta. Results are subject to change based on differences in reporting schedules and updates from the various data systems.
Key Points
From January – September 2016, 338 Albertans died from an apparent drug overdose related to fentanyl or another opioid. 193 of these deaths (57%) were related to fentanyl and 145 (43%) were related to an opioid other than fentanyl.
In 2016, of the deaths related to fentanyl, 65 deaths occurred in the first quarter, 81 in the second, and 47 in the third. The majority of deaths (89%) occurred in larger urban centers. By comparison, in 2015 there were 205 deaths related to fentanyl, with 73 occurring in the first quarter, 66 in the second, and 66 in the third. 83 per cent of the deaths in 2015 occurred in larger urban centers.
From Jan-Sept 2016, there were more drug overdose deaths related to fentanyl in Calgary (82), compared to Edmonton (52), and more drug overdose deaths related to an opioid other than fentanyl in Edmonton (63), compared to Calgary (37).
The majority of drug overdose deaths related to opioids that occurred in Edmonton and Calgary were among individuals with a home address outside of the central urban core (65 per cent). 26 per cent of deaths occurred in individuals with no fixed address or an unknown home address.
From January 1, 2014 to June 30, 2016 there were approximately 17,690 emergency and urgent care visits related to opioid and other substances of misuse, averaging 1,769 visits per quarter.
These visits represent approximately 12,560 unique individuals, of whom, 22 per cent had more than one visit.
There has been an increase in the number of visits over time, with 60% more in the second quarter of 2016 compared to the second quarter of 2014.
From January 1, 2014 to September 30, 2016, there was a quarterly average of approximately 529,000 opioid dispensations through community pharmacies.
Among individuals identifying as First Nations, the emergency visit rate related to opioid and narcotic use was approximately 5.5 times higher than non-First Nation identifying individuals, and the rate of opioid dispensing was approximately two times higher.

Disclaimer
The majority of data is presented on a quarterly basis from January 1, 2014 (unless specified otherwise) and includes the most recent quarterly data available at the time the report is created. Data sources are updated at differing time periods. Data may change in later reporting as it is submitted by facilities, and pharmacies. Recent data may be less complete due to delays in data submission. Emergency department data can have up to a three month lag and therefore, the most recent quarter is not included for this data. Mortality data is subject to change as certification of deaths can take up to six months. Deaths in this report includes Albertans who died from an apparent drug overdose related to fentanyl and apparent drug overdose deaths related to an opioid other than fentanyl. As a result, the number of apparent drug overdose deaths related to fentanyl/opioids may change (including increases/decreases in previous numbers) as certification of cause of death may lead to a change in classification in some instances. Throughout this report, Q1 =Jan-Mar, Q2 = Apr-Jun, Q3 = Jul-Sept, Q4 = Oct-Dec For more details on data sources and methods, please see the Data Notes section at the end of this report.

Figure 12: Emergency department (ED) visits related to opioids & narcotics among First Nations people in Alberta. ED visit rates by age group, sex, and First Nations status, Alberta, 2011-2015
The overall rate of ED visits related to opioids & narcotics among First Nations persons (380 per 100,000) was approximately five times higher than the rate among Non-First Nations persons (75 per 100,000).
First Nation females had the highest 5 year averaged ED visit rates across both groups (446 per 100,000), with the highest rates occurring among First Nation females aged 40-44 years. This contrasted with Non-First Nations persons, where males aged 30-34 among this group had the highest rates.
Since 2011, ED visit rates have increased by 124 per cent among First Nation persons, and by 79 per cent among Non-First Nations persons. The largest increase was among younger aged individuals in both groups, in particular individuals aged 20-29 years.
The above is part of a series of First Nations-specific Health Trends compiled in collaboration by Alberta Health and the Alberta First Nations Information Governance Centre (AFNIGC).

Figure 17: Opioid Dispensations to First Nations people in Alberta: Age-specific opioid drug dispensation rates by age group, sex, and First Nations status, Alberta, 2011-2015
The overall opioid dispensation rate from 2011-2015 was two times higher for First Nations
(187 per 1000 population) compared to non-First Nations peoples (98 per 1000 population).
Dispensation rates were most different between First Nations and non-First Nations for those
between the ages of 25 to 49 years (three times higher for First Nations).
Females had generally higher opioid dispensation rates than males across all ages;
specifically, dispensation rates in First Nations females aged 15 to 59 years were significantly
higher than their male First Nations counterparts.
The above is part of a series of First Nations-specific Health Trends compiled in collaboration by Alberta Health and the Alberta First Nations Information Governance Centre (AFNIGC).

Naloxone kit dispensing from community pharmacies
Figure 18: Naloxone kits dispensed through community pharmacies, by zone and month. January 1, 2016-August 30, 2016.
The Edmonton zone has had the largest volume of Naloxone kits dispensed, with an average of 46 kits per month. The Calgary zone dispensed the next highest volume with an average of 28 kits per month. Across Alberta, 105 kits were dispensed by community pharmacies a month on average.
The median age of an individual receiving a Naloxone kit was 35 years, and 58 per cent were male.
There were 735 unique individuals (of the individuals that submitted a primary healthcare number). Of those, 82 had more than one claim.
Note: Only naloxone kits dispensed from community pharmacies are included in this graph. Naloxone kit distribution occurring from non-pharmacy sites is not captured here.

Data Notes
Data Source(s) for Report: 1) Alberta Ambulatory Care database (ACCS) 2) Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) Quarterly Population Registry Files 3) Alberta Health and Wellness Postal Code Translation File (PCTF) 4) Pharmaceutical Information Network (PIN) 5) Alberta Consolidated Laboratory Database 6) Scheduled monthly release of OMCE fentanyl & opioid fatality data Mortality data
Mortality statistics are subject to change as certification of deaths can take up to six months due to the inherent complexity of testing and interpretation of results, which requires specialized knowledge and must be done by medical examiners and the Chief Toxicologist and Deputy Chief Toxicologist. The deaths in this report includes Albertans who died from an apparent drug overdose related to fentanyl.

Emergency Visits: Emergency visits are defined by the Alberta MIS chart of accounts. Specifically, the 3 Functional Centre Accounts used to define any ACCS visits into an emergency visit could be: 1) 71310 – Ambulatory care services described as emergency 2) 71513 – Community Urgent Care Centre (UCC). As of 2014, the UCCs in Alberta are listed
below:
Airdrie Regional Health Centre, Cochrane Community Health Centre, North East Edmonton Health Centre, Health First Strathcona, Okotoks Health and Wellness Centre, Sheldon M Chumir Centre, South Calgary Health Centre
3) 71514 – Community Advanced Ambulatory Care Centre (AACC). As of 2014, the only AACC in Alberta is La Crete Health Centre
Figure 8 & 10: Includes ED visits for all behavioural and mood disorders due to opioid use, and poisoning by all substances-all causes. Figure 9: Includes ED visits for acute intoxication due to opioid use, and poisoning by all substances-by accidental cause. Figure 11 & 12: Includes ED visits for all behavioural and mood disorders due to opioid use, poisoning by opioids (including methadone), synthetic narcotics (including fentanyl), and other narcotics-all causes. All substances include: opium, heroine, methadone, other opioids, synthetic narcotics (including fentanyl), cocaine, other narcotics, cannabis derivatives, LSD, hallucinogens.

Opioid Dispensing: 1) The Pharmaceutical Information Network (PIN) Database is used to estimate dispensation rates for the province in 2015 and 2016. The dispensation rates presented are not unique and it is possible that one person could have more than one dispensation of the same drug within a week, month, and/or year. Much of this variability is dependent on the way the drug is prescribed. 2) The PIN database is up-to-date; To date, the PIN database has records up to August 21, 2016. 3) Dispensation rates are calculated using the mid-year population size in 2015 and PIN data for the current calendar year. To date, the current calendar year is from August 23, 2015 to August 21, 2016. Opioids types are defined by ATC Code, as given in the table below.
