How many people were using chronically?

I identify chronic users crudely – I look for entries where the words “chronic” [can sometimes indicate chronic pain, meaning opioid scripts], “Chronic”, “user”, “drug use”, “drug user”, “drug abuse”, “snort”, “snorts”, “drug abuse”, “addict”, “addicted”, “rehab”, “sober house”, “clean” or “abuse” pops up in either the notes field or immediate cause of death, because that generally means that the person had chronic drug use [based on my look at the data]

2018

## [1] "There were at least 65 people with known chronic use out of 210 decedents in 2018, which is 30.952381 percent of all decedents."

2019

## [1] "There were at least 78 people with known chronic use out of 241 decedents in 2019, which is 32.365145 percent of all decedents."

2020

## [1] "There were at least 113 people with known chronic use out of 235 decedents in 2020, which is 48.085106 percent of all decedents."

2021

## [1] "There were at least 110 people with known chronic use out of 243 decedents in 2021, which is 45.267490 percent of all decedents."

2022

## [1] "There were at least 119 people with known chronic use out of 240 decedents in 2022, which is 49.583333 percent of all decedents."
