Background: Patients with chronic pancreatitis (CP) suffer from pain and receive increased opioid prescriptions with a high risk of opioid use disorder (OUD). We studied the predictors, trends and outcomes of OUD among patients hospitalized with CP.
Methods: Records with CP (with/without OUD) were extracted from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample (NIS) 2012-2014, and the association of OUD with the burden of CP was calculated. We then charted the trends of OUD and its interaction with concomitant CP from NIS 2007-2014 (SAS 9.4).
Results: In the period 2012-2014, 4349 (4.99%) of the 87,068 CP patients had concomitant OUD, with higher risk among patients who were young, females, white vs. Hispanics, and individuals with chronic back pain, arthritis, non-opioid substance use, mental health disorders, and those hospitalized in urban centers. OUD was associated with a longer hospital stay (6.9 vs. 6.5 days, P=0.0015) but no significant difference in charges ($47,151 vs. $49,017, P=0.0598) or mortality (1.64% vs. 0.74%, P=0.0506). From 2007-2014, the average yearly rate of OUD was 174 cases per 10,000 hospitalizations (174/10,000), almost 3 times higher among CP vs. non-CP (479/10,000 vs. 173/10,000, P<0.001), and it increased from 2007 to 2014 (135/10,000 to 216/10,000, P<0.001). The yearly increase was 2.7 times higher among patients with CP vs. non-CP (29.9/10,000 vs. 11.3/10,000 hospitalizations/year, P<0.001).
Conclusions: CP is associated with higher rates and trends of OUD. Patients with CP at high risk of OUD may benefit from alternate analgesic regimens or surveillance for OUD when they are prescribed opioids.

Predictors of Participation in Prenatal Substance Use Assessment, Counseling, and Treatment Among Pregnant Individuals in Prenatal Settings Who Use Cannabis.
J Addict Med
November 2024
From the, Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute, Seattle, WA (GTL); Department of Health Systems and Population Health, University of Washington, Seattle, WA (GTL); Division of Research, Kaiser Permanente Northern California, Oakland, CA (FWC, KCY-W, MBD, CIC); Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of California, San Francisco, CA (KCY-W, CIC); and Regional Offices, Kaiser Permanente Northern California, Oakland CA (DA, CC, AHA, AE).
Objectives: Assessment and counseling are recommended for individuals with prenatal cannabis use. We examined characteristics that predict prenatal substance use assessment and counseling among individuals who screened positive for prenatal cannabis use in prenatal settings.
Methods: Electronic health record data from Kaiser Permanente Northern California's Early Start perinatal substance use screening, assessment, and counseling program was used to identify individuals with ≥1 pregnancies positive for prenatal cannabis use.
Substructure-Specific Antibodies Against Fentanyl Derivatives.

School of Chemistry and Biochemistry, Georgia Institute of Technology, 901 Atlantic Dr., Atlanta, Georgia 30332, United States.
Structural variants of the synthetic opioid fentanyl are a major threat to public health. Following an investigation showing that many derivatives are poorly detected by commercial lateral flow and related assays, we created hapten conjugate vaccines using an immunogenic virus-like particle carrier and eight synthetic fentanyl derivatives designed to mimic the structural features of several of the more dangerous analogues. Immunization of mice elicited strong antihapten humoral responses, allowing the screening of hundreds of hapten-specific hybridomas for binding strength and specificity.

Introduction: The causal relationship between chronic opioid use and esophageal motor dysfunction in symptomatic patients has not been established.
Methods: A prospective before-and-after multicenter study, including chronic active opioid patients referred for esophageal motility tests due to non-obstructive dysphagia.
Results: 37 patients were evaluated, 27 (73%) had criteria of opioid-induced esophageal dysfunction (OIED).
Sociodemographic and Clinical Profiles of Patients With Substance Use Disorders Admitted to a Psychiatric Hospital in Erbil: A Retrospective Study.

Department of Psychiatry, College of Medicine, Hawler Medical University, Erbil, IRQ.
Background: Substance use is a growing concern, impacting the health, social stability, and economic well-being of individuals and communities. In Iraq, particularly in Erbil, limited data exists on the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of patients with substance use disorders (SUDs). This study aims to identify these characteristics among inpatients at Hawler Psychiatric Hospital to better understand the profiles and associated factors influencing substance use in this region.

Mr. Timberlake is with Berkshire Biomedical Corporation in Dallas, Texas.
Background: Methadone is commonly utilized to treat opioid use disorder (OUD). Requirements to visit an opioid treatment provider (OTP) clinic for methadone treatment limits access to treatment, impacts quality of life, and reduces OUD treatment program retention. The Computerized Oral Prescription Administration (COPA) system is a dual-biometric dispensing device for take-home dosing that could reduce the impacts of methadone administration on patients and clinic staff.
