Health Services Usage in Patients Receiving Buprenorphine for Opioid Use Disorder or Long-Term Opioid Therapy for Chronic Pain: Retrospective Cohort Study

Health Services Usage in Patients Receiving Buprenorphine for Opioid Use Disorder or Long-Term Opioid Therapy for Chronic Pain: Retrospective Cohort Study

Disruption in access for patients who use buprenorphine for OUD and patients who use chronic opioid analgesic therapy may have contributed to these issues. Patients receiving opioids for chronic pain or buprenorphine for OUD may be more likely to experience disruptions in care since buprenorphine and chronic opioid analgesic therapy are controlled substances with restrictions on prescribing [22-26].

Patient Engagement in a Multimodal Digital Phenotyping Study of Opioid Use Disorder

Patient Engagement in a Multimodal Digital Phenotyping Study of Opioid Use Disorder

The opioid crisis continues unabated in the United States, with 2.7 million individuals diagnosed with past-year opioid use disorder (OUD) in 2020 [1] and over 100,000 fatal overdoses from opioids in the 12 months ending in May 2022 [2]. Buprenorphine is an effective medication for treating OUD, reducing opioid use, and lowering mortality risk; yet, many do not remain in treatment, and the risk of relapse is high [3-6].

An Artificial Intelligence–Based Smartphone App for Assessing the Risk of Opioid Misuse in Working Populations Using Synthetic Data: Pilot Development Study

An Artificial Intelligence–Based Smartphone App for Assessing the Risk of Opioid Misuse in Working Populations Using Synthetic Data: Pilot Development Study

Epidemiological occupational health studies indicated that high physical and stressful job demands were strongly associated with OUD [18,20-23]. Therefore, combining on-the-job risk factors for injury coupled with provider prescription recommendations for opioid use could elevate the risk of developing OUD within these occupational groups [1].

Primary Perspectives in Meme Utilization as a Digital Driver for Medical Community Engagement and Education Mobilization: Pre-Post Study

Due to the many historical accessibility barriers associated with obtaining a DEA-X waiver, only about 5% of physicians in the United States have acquired this prescriptive authority, which, in turn, limits the ability to care for patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) [2]. Get Waivered (GW) was founded to address this caveat by encouraging and facilitating more clinicians in obtaining their DEA-X waiver.

A Prescription Digital Therapeutic to Support Unsupervised Buprenorphine Initiation for Patients With Opioid Use Disorder: Protocol for a Proof-of-Concept Study

Unprecedented rates of opioid misuse and mortality have led to the current opioid epidemic in the United States [1], with approximately 2.5 million people in the United States meeting the criteria for opioid use disorder (OUD) in 2020 [2]. OUD is a chronic condition with numerous physical, psychological, and personal consequences, including a high risk of death, which has risen in recent years due to the increasing prevalence of potent synthetic opioids (predominantly fentanyl) [3].
