- W4366992286 abstract "A big challenge in forensic toxicology is the correct interpretation of the results of quantitative analyses in postmortem cases. Postmortem drug concentrations not necessarily reflect the drug concentrations at the time of death, due to postmortem changes in drug concentrations caused by postmortem redistribution (PMR). Cardiac blood is more prone to PMR related concentration changes than peripheral blood. Because of this difference in susceptibility to PMR related concentration changes, the ratio of cardiac blood concentration/peripheral blood concentration (C/P) of a drug is an often-used marker of PMR. In this study, we investigated the relationship between different potentially significant variables and the C/P ratios of cocaine, benzoylecgonine (BE) and ecgonine methyl ester (EME) in humans. The aim was to elucidate the mechanisms involved in PMR of these substances and potentially provide guidelines aiding forensic toxicologists in the interpretation of postmortem quantitative results of cocaine and its metabolites. To differentiate between postmortem concentration changes due to redistribution versus degradation of cocaine, the relationships between these variables and metabolite/cocaine ratios were investigated as well. Toxicological results of all postmortem cases that were positive for cocaine, BE and/or EME investigated by the Netherlands Forensic Institute between January 1st 2010 and July 31st 2020 were reviewed. The C/P ratios, BE/cocaine ratios and EME/cocaine ratios were determined for all selected cases. Cocaine, BE and/or EME were quantified in both femoral blood and cardiac blood in a total of 148 cases. Ratios were compared between subgroups by performing either a Mann-Whitney U test or a Kruskal-Wallis test followed by post-hoc Mann-Whitney U test. A statistically significant difference in C/P ratio of EME was observed between trauma and non-trauma cases with median C/P ratios of 2.03 and 1.57, respectively (p value=0.001). A statistically significant difference in EME/cocaine ratio was observed between the BMI subgroups 18.5 – 25.0 kg/m2 and> 25 kg/m2 with median EME/cocaine ratios of 3.79 and 1.58, respectively (p-value<0.001). Postmortem cocaine concentrations should be interpreted with caution, considering the occurrence of both PMR and postmortem degradation. When interpreting postmortem toxicological results in cocaine-related fatalities, it might prove useful to take the above-mentioned variables into account." @default.
