Abstract
There were 189 deliveries to women who experienced ≥ 1 opioid overdose in the first year postpartum (11 of 10 000 deliveries). Among women with postpartum opioid overdose, 46.6% had an OUD diagnosis within 12 months before delivery. In our adjusted model, maternal diagnosis of OUD [adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 3.61, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.73-7.51] and prior non-fatal overdose (aOR = 2.40, 95% CI = 1.11-5.17) were most strongly associated with postpartum overdose. After stratifying by OUD status, infant diagnosis of NAS (OUD+ aOR = 2.03, 95% CI = 1.26-3.27; OUD- aOR = 2.79, 95% CI = 1.12-6.93) and high unscheduled health-care utilization (OUD+ aOR = 2.27, 95% CI = 1.38-3.73; OUD- aOR = 2.11, 95% CI = 1.24-3.58) were positively associated with postpartum overdose in both groups.
