Abstract
OAT has substantially changed the course of the drug use epidemic. Although noted to reduce morbidity and mortality of patients attending specialised treatment clinics, limited longitudinal information is available on cohorts of such patients. To explore the mortality rates, we conducted a prospective observational study, through the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages in Ireland and the Central Methadone Treatment List.
