Abstract

En 中文
Background and Objectives Opioid use has been linked to increased stroke incidence and severity; however, data on effects during acute stroke hospitalization are limited. Methods We used the 2016-2020 National Inpatient Sample to evaluate the effects of opioid disorders on patient-directed discharge (PDD) and length of stay (LOS) in 3,101,545 patients. Results On multivariate analysis, opioid disorders were independently associated with discharge AMA (aOR: 2.29; 95% CI: 1.98-2.65) and longer LOS (beta: 1.5, SE: 0.138; p < .001). Discussion and Conclusions Opioid disorders may predispose PDD and prolonged hospital courses in stroke admissions. Scientific Significance Opioid disorders may warrant targeted inpatient management and health system planning in stroke.
