The official number of drug overdose deaths in 2021 was 106,699, the CDC said. That's nearly 16% higher than nearly 92,000 OD deaths in 2020.
Nearly 107,000 Americans died of drug overdoses last year, according to final figures released Thursday.
Earlier, provisional data suggested there were more than 107,000 overdose deaths last year. The numbers may have changed as some additional death records have come in, a CDC spokesman said. Also, provisional data includes all overdose deaths, while the final numbers are limited to U.S. residents, he noted.
"What we're seeing in terms of the patterns of mortality, it's being driven, I think, largely by the pandemic," said Robert Anderson, chief of mortality statistics at the National Center for Health Statistics. The drop isn't necessarily surprising, but it is"substantial." The final CDC mortality data show that between 2020 and 2021, overall death rates increased for all age groups except infants younger than one year. But the largest increase was among those ages 35 to 44, a group that was most affected by drug overdose deaths.
