Socio-demographic and toxicological findings from autoptic cases in a Northern Italy community (2017–2022)

In addition, co-assumption of licit and illicit substances emerged as a widespread phenomenon in our study population. Under a public health perspective, these data provide findings of relevance for preventive and therapeutic measures.
