Unclassified drug overdose deaths in the opioid crisis: emerging patterns of inequity [PDF]
Abstract Objective Examine whether individual, geographic, and economic phenotypes predict missing data on specific drug involvement in overdose deaths, manifesting inequities in overdose mortality data, which is a key data source used in measuring the opioid epidemic.

Using contributing causes of death improves prediction of opioid involvement in unclassified drug overdoses in US death records [PDF]
AbstractBackground and AimsA substantial share of fatal drug overdoses is missing information on specific drug involvement, leading to under‐reporting of opioid‐related death rates and a misrepresentation of the extent of the opioid epidemic. We aimed to compare methodological approaches to predicting opioid involvement in unclassified drug overdoses ...

Background: There is a striking geographic variation in drug overdose deaths without a specific drug recorded, many of which likely involve opioids. Knowledge of the reasons underlying this variation is limited. Objectives: We sought to understand the role of medicolegal death investigation (MDI) systems in unclassified drug overdose mortality. Methods:

BRAF mutations and targeted therapy in unclassified pericytic tumors: insights from genetic analysis and clinical response [PDF]
Background Pericytic tumors are a group of soft tissue neoplasms characterized by a hemangiopericytoma (HPC)-like pattern. The underlying genetic lesion of pericytic neoplasms is still obscure; however, recent advances in molecular pathology have enabled

Labeled NSAID hypersensitivity and the risk of opioid prescribing; an observational study [PDF]
BackgroundNSAIDs are widely used for pain management but are second only to antibiotics in causing drug hypersensitivity reactions. Misclassification of these reactions often leads to unnecessary avoidance of the entire drug class, potentially resulting ...
