Study Design and Patient Disposition.
The Premier Hospital Database was queried for eligible patients who received opioids, with or without medications with sedative properties, and had in-hospital cardiopulmonary or respiratory arrest or cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPRA) as defined through ICD-9-CM and CPT codes.

Odds Ratios and Opioid Patient Disposition.
(A) Adjusted Odds Ratio (95% CI) of cardiopulmonary or respiratory arrest or cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPRA) by medication type. (B) Disposition (%) of opioid patients by location of arrest. The number of patients per category is shown within each bar. Facility: includes skilled nursing facility; intermediate care facility; hospice-medical facility; swing bed; another rehab facility; long-term care hospital; nursing facility; hospice-home; federal hospital or critical access hospital. CPA = cardiopulmonary arrest; CPR = cardiopulmonary resuscitation; GCF = general care floor; ICU = intensive care unit; RA = respiratory arrest.
