Psychostimulant-related consultations and admissions were compared with opioid-related consultations and admissions over time, by sex and by ward type (medical units, mental health units or emergency department).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The CL service collected information on 8800 consultations and 4405 hospital admissions from 2012 to 2015. Psychostimulant use was responsible for 684 (7.8%) consultations and 372 (8.4%) admissions. Opioids were related to 1914 (21.8%) consultations and 864 (19.6%) admissions. Psychostimulants were the subject of three times more consultations in 2015 than in 2012, and more than twice as many admissions. Time trend analysis showed a significant time effect for consultations and admissions relating to psychostimulants. Conversely, no significant changes were observed in consultations and admissions relating to opioids.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study identified a rapid rise in the demand for psychostimulant-related inpatient assessments, suggesting the use of these drugs has increased locally. Because of the impact on the public health system, there is a need to invest in and implement new treatment strategies and services for psychostimulant users.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.17061\/phrp28011800","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,13]],"date-time":"2018-03-13T23:43:29Z","timestamp":1520984609000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Psychostimulant-related health service demand in an inner-city hospital, 2012\u20132015"],"prefix":"10.1071","volume":"28","author":[{"given":"Alon","family":"Faingold","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"A Drug Health Services, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, NSW, Australia"},{"name":"B Brain and Mind Centre, University of Sydney, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kirsten","family":"Morley","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"C Discipline of Addiction Medicine, University of Sydney, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bethany","family":"White","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"D Central Clinical School, University of Sydney, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Emily","family":"Walker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"A Drug Health Services, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Haber","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"A Drug Health Services, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, NSW, Australia"},{"name":"C Discipline of Addiction Medicine, University of Sydney, NSW, Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"67","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,3,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026012723112581800_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Lim MS, Cogger S, Quinn B, Hellard ME, Dietze PM. \u2018Ice epidemic\u2019?
