L’objectif
Very little is known about the value of UDS, the optimum screening frequency in general, or its specific use for buprenorphine treatment in primary care. To address this question, we thought that in a stable population receiving buprenorphine-naloxone in the primary care setting it would be useful to know how often UDS yielded expected and unexpected results.
Constatations/points à retenir
Given that the majority of patients in our study had expected urine results, it may be reasonable for less frequent urine testing in certain patients.
