Higher hydromorphone controlled-release dispensing rate was a stronger predictor of HCV incidence than all opioid prescriptions (standardized Risk Ratio=1.17, p less then 0.0001 vs sRR=1.11, p=0.02). When hydromorphone controlled-release was excluded from the opioid prescription variable, dispensing patterns of all other opioids no longer remained a significant predictor(sRR=1.042, p=0.34). The observed relationship between HCV incidence and hydromorphone controlled-release dispensing suggests that the type of opioid
