Objective
We sought to describe non-opioid overdose hospitalizations with documented OUD and examine receipt of post-discharge outpatient buprenorphine.
Findings/Key points
Non-overdose OUD hospitalizations often occur with substance use disorders and psychiatric disorders, and very few are followed by timely outpatient buprenorphine.
Design/methods
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.
