Abstract:
This research brief is part of a series produced by the Pennsylvania Health Care Cost Containment Council (PHC4) that studies opioid-related hospitalizations. This edition is a three-year review of calendar years 2016 to 2018. It includes Pennsylvania residents, age 15 and older, who were admitted to a Pennsylvania general acute care hospital. This analysis does not include overdoses that did not result in a hospital admission (e.g., those treated with naloxone and/or treated in the emergency department and not admitted to the hospital or overdose deaths that occurred outside the hospital setting).
