L’objectif
Fentanyl is a highly lipophilic mu opioid receptor agonist increasingly found in heroin and other drug supplies that is contributing to marked increases in opioid-related overdose and may be complicating treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD). This study aimed to measure the influence of body mass index (BMI) on fentanyl withdrawal and clearance.
Constatations/points à retenir
High body mass index (BMI) status (overweight or obese) appears to be an important predictor of slower fentanyl clearance and higher SOWS maximum scores across the inpatient period than lower BMI status.
