Benzodiazepine withdrawal in pregnant women with opioid use disorders: An observational study of current clinical practices at a tertiary obstetrical hospital.

Background: As more patients are admitted for medical complications related to opioid use disorders, physicians are called upon to manage withdrawal from co-occurring substance use disorders. We present an observational study of pregnant women with comorbid opioid and sedative-hypnotic use disorders hospitalized for benzodiazepine withdrawal.

Objectives: Our primary aims were to assess current practices in withdrawal management in the perinatal period in patients admitted to an antepartum unit at a tertiary care setting with comorbid opioid and sedative-hypnotic use disorders; specifically, to identify patterns of withdrawal management, including the type of withdrawal protocol utilized, the total dosage of benzodiazepine used during that protocol, to assess patient variables associated with higher dosing, and to analyze neonatal outcomes.
