Supplementary notes

Percentages do not add to 100, as more than one substance can be documented per hospitalization.

Hospital stays for conditions partially attributable to substance use (e.g. cancer, strokes, respiratory disease, trauma) were not included. Also, the stigma associated with substance use may influence what is recorded in hospital records and contribute to under-reporting of cases.
