L’objectif

To assess the risk of opioid-related adverse events following opioid initiation among adults with versus without intellectual and developmental disability (IDD).

Constatations/points à retenir

IDD diagnosis is not a driver of opioid-related harm. The increased risk we observed is likely driven by various risk factors often present in this population.
