Opioid and Antimicrobial Prescription Patterns During Emergency Medicine Encounters Among Uninsured Patients.

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: The purpose of this study was to characterize opioid and antimicrobial prescribing among uninsured patients seeking emergency medical care and to build predictive machine learning models. Uninsured patients were less likely to receive an opioid medication, more likely to receive non-opioid alternatives, and less likely to receive an antimicrobial prescription. The most impactful contributing factors were housing status, comorbidities, and recidivism.
