Identifying Adverse Events Associated With High‐Risk Opioid Administration Using the Emergency Department Trigger Tool
In our sample, 5% of visits included high-risk opioid administration, of which 26% included an opioid-related AE. AE rates were similar across sites, with expected variability in type and severity across triggers and sites. The EDTT is a useful approach for AE detection. Triggers focusing on high-risk opioid administration may have a more favorable yield as a surveillance strategy.
