Postmortem Toxicology Positivity for Medications for Opioid Use Disorder in Illinois Unintentional Opioid Overdose Deaths 2019-2024

Listen to this summary

This study aims to investigate the prevalence of medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) in unintentional opioid overdose deaths attributed to fentanyl in Illinois from 2019 to 2024. The findings reveal that MOUD detection was consistently low, with only methadone showing a significant protective association against fentanyl-related overdose deaths, while buprenorphine and naltrexone did not demonstrate a significant effect.
