Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
The purpose of this study was to determine the association of a multi‐pronged treatment program in emergency department (ED) patients with an acute presentation of opioid use disorder (OUD) on the rate of subsequent opioid overdose (OD). This approach included ED‐initiated take‐home naloxone, prescription buprenorphine, and an ED‐based peer support and recovery program. This was a retrospective observational analysis of adult patients presenting to the ED at a large urban hospital system from November 1, 2017 to March 17, 2023. Patients with an ED discharge diagnosis of OD or OUD were included. Outcomes determined were subsequent 90‐day OD and 180‐day OD death. Post hoc analyses were performed to identify intervention utilization throughout the study period including the COVID‐19 pandemic as well as ED characteristics associated with subsequent OD and OD death. Statistical comparisons were made using logistic regression and chi‐squared test. A total of 2634 patients presented to the ED with an opioid OD or diagnosis of OUD. Subsequent 90‐day OD decreased significantly over time (11.5%–2.3%, odds ratio [OR] 0.85, confidence interval [CI] 0.82–0.89). No single intervention was independently associated with 90‐day OD or 180‐day OD death. Resource utilization was stable during the COVID‐19 pandemic and increased afterward. A higher buprenorphine fill‐rate among all patients and the Back race subgroup was associated with a decrease in 90‐day OD. Subsequent OD and OD death decreased over time after implementation of a multi‐pronged treatment program to ED patients with OUD. No single intervention was associated with a decrease of subsequent OD or OD death.
