L’objectif
This study evaluated disparities in naloxone prescribing for patients who presented after opioid overdose in a large health system.
Constatations/points à retenir
Naloxone prescribing after overdose in our system was suboptimal, with fewer than half of patients with an overdose diagnosis code receiving this lifesaving and evidence-based intervention. Patients who were Hispanic/Latinx were more likely to receive naloxone than other race and ethnicity groups, and patients who were older were less likely to receive it.
