This increase in mortality, largely driven by deaths also involving fentanyl, a potent synthetic opioid, has been referred to as the “fourth wave” of the overdose crisis [3-6]. While the increase in deaths involving stimulants and fentanyl may be primarily due to the toxic effects of fentanyl, the presence of stimulants likely reflects rising polysubstance and, in some cases, unintentional fentanyl use [4,5,7].

According to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) study of fatal overdose in the United States, the monthly percentage of fentanyl-involved deaths with xylazine detected increased by 276% from January 2019 through June 2022 [14]. In a separate study of fatal overdose events in 38 states and the District of Columbia from January through June of 2020, more than 92% of benzodiazepine deaths also involved fentanyl [15].

The work done by Lokala et al [14] investigates the relation between the availability of fentanyl-related drugs on cryptomarkets on the dark web and overdoses of fentanyl. Time-lagged correlation analysis was done between fentanyl-related drugs from the cryptomarket and overdoses of fentanyl in this first-of-its-kind study for epidemiological surveillance.

Of the different major opioids analyzed, fentanyl accumulated the most tweets. Fentanyl stood out in recreational uses, as more than 50% (20,861/39,997) of the tweets containing this opioid discussed this topic, also representing the drug with the highest percentage of tweets referring to legal aspects, followed by oxycodone and methadone.

There is an especially relevant increase in extrahospital use of tramadol and interhospital use of fentanyl [2,8,18], and at the same time, non-oncological use accounts for nearly 90% in certain cases [19].
Together with the registry of ODP, one of the most valuable indicators of the growth and type of use is the registry of deaths due to opioid overdose, also referred to as opioid-related mortality (ORM) [13,20].

We are now in the “third wave” of the overdose epidemic, characterized predominantly by fentanyl and fentanyl-related overdose mortality [2,3]. From 2015 to 2021, the annual number of overdose deaths due to synthetic opioids, which are almost exclusively fentanyl and related analogs, rose 93% from 51,575 to 99,543 [4]. Fentanyl deaths have supplanted heroin deaths; although all opioid deaths have been increasing, heroin-involved deaths that did not also involve fentanyl have decreased [5].
