IntroductionThe purpose of this study is to compare the prevalence of hospitalization after an emergency department (ED) visit at an urban safety net hospital for youth with and without a substance use disorder.MethodsThis study used a retrospective cohort design of adolescents (aged 15-21 y; n = 14,852) treated in the ED and compared the risk of hospitalization within 90 days.ResultsA substance use disorder diagnosis in the ED more than doubled the risk of 90-day hospitalization (5.4% vs 2.38%; P < 0.0001).ConclusionsCompared with youth without a substance use disorder, youth with substance use disorders are likely to require additional services after an ED visit.Copyright © 2022 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
