Opioid prescribing and potential overdose errors among children 0 to 36 months old.
This study estimated the frequency of potential overdoses among outpatient opioid-containing prescriptions. It found that, overall, 2.7 percent of the prescriptions contained potential overdose quantities, and the average excess amount dispensed was 48% above expected. Younger ages were associated with higher frequencies of potential overdose.
