Risk factors for opioid-related adverse drug events among older adults after hospital discharge.
This study examined patient- and prescribing-related risk factors for opioid-related adverse drug events (ADEs) after hospital discharge among medical patients. Administrative billing codes and medication claims were used to define potential opioid-related ADEs within 30 days of hospital discharge. Findings showed that potential opioid-related ADEs occurred in 7% of older adults discharged from a medical hospitalization with an opioid prescription. Recommendations included using identified risk factors to inform physician decision-making, having conversations with older adults about risk, and increasing development and targeting of harm reduction strategies.
