6% of deaths attributed to overdose; 42% died of non-drug related causes. Drug-related death was the most frequent cause of mortality. Hospitalized patients with OUD are at high risk of death, from drug and non-drug related causes, in the year after discharge. Future research should consider not only overdose, but a more comprehensive definition of drug-related death in understanding post-discharge mortality among hospitalized patients with OUD, and care systems should work to mitigate the risk of death in this population.
