Age-Adjusted Hospitalization Rate due to Opioid Use

Zip Code: 93041
Measurement Period: 2019-2021
This indicator shows the age-adjusted hospitalization rate due to opioid use per 10,000 population aged 18 years and older. Cases where the first-listed diagnosis indicates an opioid-related disorder (use, abuse, dependence) or adverse effect of therapeutic opioid use, or an external cause of injury code indicates opioid poisoning (unintentional, assault, or unspecified intent) are included.

Why is this important?

Opioids are natural or synthetic chemicals that bind to receptors in your brain or body. Common opioids include prescription drugs such as oxycodone, hydrocodone, and fentanyl. Opioid abuse is a serious public health issue, but preventive actions such as limiting the number of opioid prescriptions and treatment for addiction to prevent future use can help. The majority of drug overdoses involve an opioid and at least half of all opioid overdose deaths involve a prescription opioid. Since 1999, the rate of overdose deaths involving opioids (including prescription opioid pain relievers) has nearly quadrupled. According to the CDC, overdoses from prescription opioid pain relievers are a driving factor in the increase in opioid overdose deaths.
