Article Synopsis
  • The study analyzed medication patterns for opioid use disorder (MOUDs) during pregnancies among a cohort of 3,911 expectant mothers with opioid use disorder (OUD) from seven clinical sites.
  • It found that over 90% of pregnancies involving methadone were among publicly insured individuals, and there was an increasing usage of buprenorphine with naloxone and naltrexone in recent years.
  • The research highlighted that most prenatal care and MOUD documentation occurred within the same trimester, but discontinuity in MOUD treatments across trimesters still existed, indicating a need for improved access to care during pregnancy.

In children with cancer, febrile neutropenia (FN) is one of the most common complications of treatment, a leading cause of unplanned and prolonged hospital admission and is the key driver of antibiotic exposure. Co-designed with key stakeholders, 'Early versus Late Stopping of Antibiotics in high-risk FN' (ELSA-FN) is a randomised controlled, non-inferiority trial that compares stopping antibiotics in clinically stable patients after 48 hours with the current standard of care, continuing antibiotics until absolute neutrophil recovery. As an Australian first, we will exploit the potential of electronic medical record (EMR) systems, embedding all key aspects of the trial including screening, consent, randomisation and data collection into standard clinical and EMR workflows.

Introduction: As perinatal drug overdoses continue to rise, reliable approaches are needed to monitor overdose trends during pregnancy and postpartum. This analysis aimed to determine the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of ICD-9/10-CM codes for drug overdose events among people in the MATernaL and Infant clinical NetworK (MAT-LINK) with medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) during pregnancy.

Methods: People included in this analysis had electronic health record (EHR) documentation of MOUD and a known pregnancy outcome from January 1, 2014 through August 31, 2021.
