L’objectif

We sought to describe non-opioid overdose hospitalizations with documented OUD and examine receipt of post-discharge outpatient buprenorphine.

Constatations/points à retenir

Non-overdose OUD hospitalizations often occur with substance use disorders and psychiatric disorders, and very few are followed by timely outpatient buprenorphine.

La conception ou méthodologie de recherche

We examined acute care hospitalizations with an OUD diagnosis in any position within US commercially-insured adults age 18–64 years (IBM MarketScan claims, 2013–2017), excluding opioid overdose diagnoses.
