JARED DIOU-CASS published this work as part of a team: Ali, Mir M.. Here is a description of this work: Int,,oduction In response to the US opioid crisis, interventions are being implemented to lower opioid prescribing to reduce opioid misuse and overdose. As opioid prescribing falls, opioid misuse may shift from prescriptions to other, possibly illicit, sources. We examined how the percentage of patients with an opioid use disorder (OUD) diagnosis in a given year without a current opioid prescription changed over a decade among commercially insured enrollees and Medicaid beneficiaries. We also examined how the percentages differed by enrollee demographic factors. Methods We used commercial and Medicaid claims from the IBM MarketScan® databases from 2005 to 2015 to identify enrollees with and without current opioid prescriptions who have been diagnosed with OUD. We measured the percentage of enrollees with OUD without a current opioid prescription.
