Abstract:
This research brief looks at Pennsylvania residents, ages 15 and older, who were admitted to a Pennsylvania acute care hospital for an opioid overdose. Opioid overdoses of pain medication and heroin are displayed separately, but are also combined to show totals. This analysis includes only overdoses that resulted in a hospital admission (examples of cases not included: 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).
