A Disparity beneath a Paradox
Parsing the Paradox
Opioid Prescribing in Emergency Departments
OBJECTIVE: Emergency departments (EDs) routinely provide care for patients seeking treatment for painful conditions; however, they are also targeted by people seeking opioid analgesics for nonmedical use. This study determined the prevalence of indicators of potential ED opioid misuse and inappropriate prescription practices by ED providers in a large, commercially insured, adult population. RESEARCH DESIGN AND INDICATORS: We analyzed the 2009 Tr…

Opioid Analgesic Involvement in Drug Abuse Deaths in American Metropolitan Areas
I measured the role of opioid analgesics in drug abuse–related deaths in a consistent panel of 28 metropolitan areas from the Drug Abuse Warning Network. The number of reports of opioid analgesics increased 96.6% from 1997 to 2002; methadone, oxycodone, and unspecified opioid analgesics accounted for 74.3% of the increase. Oxycodone reports increased 727.8% (from 72 to 596 reports). By 2002, opioid analgesics were noted more frequently than were …
Birth defects surveillance
OBJECTIVES: This study assessed the sensitivity of the Metropolitan Atlanta Congenital Defects Program (MACDP) by capitalizing on the delayed receipt of a data source. METHODS: In 1997, we reviewed the medical records of potential cases from the 1995 birth certificates that had not previously been identified by the MACDP. Capture-recapture methods produced an estimate of total cases. RESULTS: We identified 1149 infants with defects, including 20 …
