Although polysubstance overdose involving fentanyl and stimulants has been characterized as increasing nationally and in urban coastal cities, little is known about patterns of drugs involved in fatal overdose in the urban Midwest.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The current study examined drug-involved death data from St. Louis City and County.

A five-class solution best fit the data, characterized by deaths involving: predominant fentanyl (48.5%), fentanyl and heroin (20.0%), fentanyl and psychostimulants (12.8%), prescription opioid\/undifferentiated (10.6%), and predominant cocaine (8.0%). Relative to predominant fentanyl, decedents in the fentanyl and heroin class and predominant cocaine class were more likely to be black (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      s &lt; .05) whereas those in the fentanyl and methamphetamine class and prescription opioid\/undifferentiated class were more likely to be white (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      s &lt; .05).
