Controlled Substance Use in Plastic Surgery Related Emergency Department Visits: An NEISS Study of Burn, Hand, and Face Injuries.

Psychoactive substance use is often a complicating factor in injury that requires an emergency room visit. The present study examined data recorded in the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS) database for patients who presented to an Emergency Department (ED) and had psychoactive substance involvement, requiring management by plastic surgery. A retrospective cohort study was performed using the NEISS database, from 2019 to 2021.
