Opioid Use Disorder
Two articles in the March 2021 issue discuss opioids.
Simeon Kimmel and coauthors analyze referrals of hospitalized patients
with opioid use disorder
(OUD) from a Boston, Massachusetts, safety-net hospital to postacute
care. They determine that more than eight in ten referrals are rejected.
"Referrals associated with OUD had more than double the odds of
rejection compared with referrals not associated with an OUD diagnosis
when adjusting for clinical and demographic confounders," they conclude.
Amol Navathe and coauthors examine whether peer comparison feedback,
individual audit feedback, or both, were effective relative to usual
care in reducing opioid prescribing in acute care settings
.
Peer comparison feedback, alone and combined with individual audit
feedback, significantly reduced the number of pills and morphine
milligram equivalents per opioid prescription.
