Included were 12 pediatric EDs from children\u2019s hospitals with comprehensive SCD centers across the US. ED visits by children younger than 19 years with uncomplicated SCD pain at any of the 12 sites between January 1, 2019, and December 31, 2021, were included. Primary diagnosis codes were used to identify visits for SCD pain; visits with any other SCD complication were excluded. Initial data analysis was conducted from April 2024 to April 2025, including revisions. After-revision analyses were done between May and June of 2025.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"ab-poi250046-7\">\n                    <jats:title>Exposures<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The 2 exposures of interest were as follows: (1) time from ED arrival to first opioid administration (dichotomized as \u226460 minutes of arrival vs &amp;amp;gt;60 minutes from arrival) and (2) time interval between the first and the second opioid administration (dichotomized in separate analyses as \u226430 minutes vs &amp;amp;gt;30 minutes, \u226445 minutes vs &amp;amp;gt;45 minutes, and \u226460 minutes vs &amp;amp;gt;60 minutes).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"ab-poi250046-8\">\n                    <jats:title>Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The primary outcome was hospitalization at the end of an ED visit.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"ab-poi250046-9\">\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 2538 patients (mean [SD] age, 12.0 [5.0] years; 1293 male [50.9%]) were included in this study. Of 9233 ED visits, 5023 (54.4%) resulted in hospitalization. First-dose timeliness of opioid administration evaluated alone was associated with decreased hospitalizations (odds ratio [OR], 0.84; 95% CI, 0.75-0.95). Evaluating combined first- and second-dose timeliness of opioid administration for the 7853 visits (85.1%) with\u20092 or more opioid doses, first-opioid timeliness was associated with reduced odds of hospitalization, even when the second dose was outside 30 minutes (OR, 0.85; 95% CI, 0.74-0.98) or 45 minutes (OR, 0.84; 95% CI, 0.72-0.97). First-dose timeliness combined with a second dose within 30-minute (OR, 0.62; 95% CI, 0.52-0.75), 45-minute (OR, 0.70; 95% CI, 0.59-0.83), and 60-minute (OR, 0.78; 95% CI, 0.67-0.92) intervals achieved the lowest odds of hospitalization.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"ab-poi250046-10\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This cross-sectional study found that timely receipt of opioids was associated with a reduction in hospitalizations for SCD pain.
