Patients in the heroin group were also more likely to have a previous overdose event, history of injection drug use, and history of prescription opioid abuse compared with the nonheroin group (p&lt;0.05). Those presenting with heroin overdose were more likely to receive naloxone in the prehospital setting (p&lt;0.05) but were less likely to receive naloxone once admitted (p&lt;0.05). Patients with nonheroin opioid overdoses required more continuous infusions of naloxone (p&lt;0.05) and admission to the intensive care unit (p&lt;0.05). Of all 923 patients, 178 (19.3%) had a repeat admission for any reason, and 70 (7.6%) were readmitted over the course of the study period for another overdose event with the same drug. The proportion of patients presenting with a heroin overdose steadily increased from 2010\u20132015; the number of patients presenting to the emergency department with nonheroin opioid overdoses steadily decreased.
