L’objectif

We evaluate current trends in mortality for treatment-seeking older adults (OAs; age 55+ years).

Constatations/points à retenir

Of the 26,993 OA treatment discharges, 679 people were discharged due to death (2.52%). OAs with MOUD (3.65%) were significantly more likely to discharge due to death than those without MOUD. Most records were for nonintensive outpatient, which had the highest mortality; intensive services had a mortality rate of 0.61%. Among OAs, planned MOUD with nonintensive outpatient services had a mortality rate of 4.17%.
