Résumé

Individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) use the emergency department (ED) at high rates. Medication treatment for OUD (MOUD) is associated with reduced ED utilization. However, individuals receiving MOUD still utilize ED services at higher rates than the general population. The objective of this study is to compare the psychosocial and clinical characteristics of those who do and do not utilize ED services based on the Healthy People 2030 framework regarding social determinants of health (SDoH) among a sample of individuals receiving MOUD. Participants receiving buprenorphine for OUD at an outpatient addiction clinic completed a cross-sectional survey between July and September 2019. A 6-month prospective medical record review was conducted. The primary outcome was ED visit (yes/no) during the 6-month study period. Demographic, psychosocial, and clinical characteristics were gathered from survey measures and chart abstraction. Chi square and T-tests tested differences by ED utilization. Participants (n=142) were 54.9% female and 68.8% Black, with an average age of 43.2 years (SD=12.5). Of the participants, 38.7% visited the ED in the study period, primarily for infectious or musculoskeletal causes. Participants with an ED visit were more likely to be Black (p=.011), have less social support (p=.030), more medical comorbidities (p=.008) including chronic pain (p=.045), and more visits with an addiction provider in the study period (p=.009). Factors associated with ED utilization among individuals receiving buprenorphine for OUD include low social support and medical comorbidities, including chronic pain. More research is needed on modifiable SDoH that influence ED utilization.

Background UNASSIGNED
Individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) use the emergency department (ED) at high rates. Medication treatment for OUD (MOUD) is associated with reduced ED utilization. However, individuals receiving MOUD still utilize ED services at higher rates than the general population. The objective of this study is to compare the psychosocial and clinical characteristics of those who do and do not utilize ED services based on the Healthy People 2030 framework regarding social determinants of health (SDoH) among a sample of individuals receiving MOUD.
Methods UNASSIGNED
Participants receiving buprenorphine for OUD at an outpatient addiction clinic completed a cross-sectional survey between July and September 2019. A 6-month prospective medical record review was conducted. The primary outcome was ED visit (yes/no) during the 6-month study period. Demographic, psychosocial, and clinical characteristics were gathered from survey measures and chart abstraction. Chi square and T-tests tested differences by ED utilization.
Results UNASSIGNED
Participants (n=142) were 54.9% female and 68.8% Black, with an average age of 43.2 years (SD=12.5). Of the participants, 38.7% visited the ED in the study period, primarily for infectious or musculoskeletal causes. Participants with an ED visit were more likely to be Black (p=.011), have less social support (p=.030), more medical comorbidities (p=.008) including chronic pain (p=.045), and more visits with an addiction provider in the study period (p=.009).
Conclusions UNASSIGNED
Factors associated with ED utilization among individuals receiving buprenorphine for OUD include low social support and medical comorbidities, including chronic pain. More research is needed on modifiable SDoH that influence ED utilization.
