Why This Webinar is Important
People with TBI are at a significantly greater risk for opioid addiction and overdose as compared to those without TBI. More than 60% of patients with TBI are discharged on an opioid. Based on analyses of 14,398 subjects in the Traumatic Brain Injury Model Systems, it was found that people with TBI were 11 times more likely to die of an overdose than the non-brain injured population. Last, most prescribers are not aware that they are prescribing opioids for an individual with TBI. In Indiana, we have approximately 122,000 citizens living with chronic disability from TBI who are at high risk for opioid misuse/overdose.
