Abstract
The opioid epidemic is a major public health concern and of paramount importance for pregnant patients, as untreated opioid use disorder (OUD) can lead to negative outcomes for the patient and infant. We conducted a retrospective cohort study, via secondary analysis of an opioid-exposed newborn database, to compare newborn outcomes in a cohort of opioid-dependent pregnant patients treated with medications for addiction treatment (MAT), initiated pre- vs. during pregnancy. Our results suggest that initiation of MAT in patients with OUD prior to pregnancy decreases newborn exposure to illicit drugs and non-prescribed opioids in-utero without negative impacts on infant growth parameters.
