Trends in Opioid Use Disorder in the Veterans Health Administration, 2005-2022
This serial cross-sectional study of national VHA electronic health record data found that the prevalence of OUD diagnoses increased from 2005 to 2017, peaked in 2017, and declined thereafter, a trend primarily attributable to changes among non-Hispanic White patients and those younger than 65 years. Continued public health efforts aimed at recognizing, treating, and preventing OUD are warranted.
