Opioid-related US hospital discharges by type, 1993–2016
Journal of Substance Abuse Treatment Jun 26, 2019
Peterson C, et al. - Via performing survey-weighted national analysis of hospital discharges in the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project National Inpatient Sample, the US nationwide opioid-related hospital inpatient discharges over time were classified and compared by discharge type: 1) opioid use disorder (OUD) diagnosis without opioid overdose, detoxification, or rehabilitation services, 2) opioid overdose, 3) OUD diagnosis or opioid overdose with detoxification services, and 4) OUD diagnosis or opioid overdose with rehabilitation services. Outcomes revealed a substantial increase in the rate of both OUD diagnoses and opioid overdoses in US hospitals over the past two decades while a decline was observed in the rates of inpatient detoxification and rehabilitation services by diagnosis codes. Findings emphasize effectively linking inpatients diagnosed with OUD or treated for an opioid overdose to substance use disorder treatment at discharge.
