Multivariable adjusted logistic regression models were used to determine associations of age, race, gender, medication for addiction treatment use, against medical advice discharge, homelessness, comorbid polysubstance use, comorbid psychiatric disorder, comorbid chronic pain, cost, and 30-day readmission with the presence of stigmatizing language.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 221 encounters were identified, of which 64 (29%) encounters had stigmatizing language present in physician documentation.

Polysubstance use and homelessness were independently associated with the presence of stigmatizing language (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 7.83; 95% CI 3.42-19.24 and aOR 2.44; 95% CI 1.03-5.90) when controlling for chronic pain and other covariates.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among hospital medicine encounters with an opioid-related diagnosis, stigmatizing language by physicians in clinical documentation was common and independently associated with comorbid polysubstance use and homelessness.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/53510","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,24]],"date-time":"2024-10-24T16:00:27Z","timestamp":1729785627000},"page":"e53510","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Occurrence of Stigmatizing Documentation Among Hospital Medicine Encounters With Opioid-Related Diagnosis Codes: Cohort Study"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"8","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6497-6251","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"William S","family":"Bradford","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9446-7098","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Reed W R","family":"Bratches","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1180-9978","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hollie","family":"Porras","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5711-8689","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David R","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7996-8951","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kelly W","family":"Gagnon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3465-4208","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Simon B","family":"Ascher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0229174"},{"key":"ref2","author":"WONDER, C","year":"2021","journal-title":"National Drug Overdose (OD) Deaths, 1999-2021"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s11606-023-08133-3"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/s12954-020-00399-8"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/YCO.0000000000000351"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10826084.2023.2191698"},{"key":"ref7","unstructured":"BroadyTBrenerLHopwoodMCamaETreloarCde WitJStigma Indicators Monitoring Project: Summary Report.
