In the BrukerPlan register there is a variable to identify whether patients are enrolled in MAR or not according to criteria given by ICD-10 people with opioid use disorders, (more specifically opioid dependence, F11.2). We used data for patients with confirmed participation in a MAR program,...
Sample Criteria and Outcomes View LargeDownload Patients undergoing the predefined surgical procedures were included if they met the following criteria: (1) continuous insurance coverage during the 12 months before the procedure through the 6 months after; (2) no opioid prescriptions during the 11 ...
The past-year ICD-10 pharmaceutical opioid dependence was assessed for the 2-year to 5-year interviews. Given that the 1-year follow-up was a self-completed questionnaire, we did not have data for ICD-10 pharmaceutical opioid dependence. To address this, multiple imputation was used to ...
The patients were receiving OAT, meaning they 1) met the criteria for opioid dependence syndrome according to the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, version 10 (ICD-10), and 2) received OAT opioids daily during the study period. All the patients were older than...
Time trends in the rate of admissions were modelled using Poisson models, as the annual number of events as a function of time in years (continuous), age group and gender, with the log of the annual Victorian residential population as offset. Trends in the rate of deaths were not calculated...

appropriate pharmacoepidemiologic techniques to examine whether the risk of unintentional overdose injury is associated with the duration of opioid action (ie, long-acting vs short-acting opioid formulations) and, if so, whether the overdose risk is modified by the duration of continuous opioid use....
45 We excluded encounters for patients who did not have continuous insurance enrollment for 90 days before and after the date of the overdose, to provide a sufficient window to measure patient exposures and outcomes and exclude fatal overdoses. We excluded patients with age younger than 18 years...
