| Abstract | Background Patients with substance use disorder (SUD) suffer from excess mortality compared to the overall population. This study aims to identify patterns in death rates among patients with SUD visiting a SUD emergency ward and to explore whether this knowledge can be used as input to identify patients at risk and increase patient safety. Methods Hospital visit data to a SUD emergency ward were collected between 2010 and 2020 through medical records. Data included gender, age, SUD diagnosis, and the time of death. The Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test was used to test between ordinal variables, and risk ratio was used to quantify the difference in mortality risk. All statistical tests were two-sided, with a 95% confidence interval and a minimum significance level of 0.05. Results The male patients in the study group had 1.41–1.59 higher mortality risk than the female patients. The study revealed an average death rate of 0.14 among all patients during the study period. Although patients with a diagnosed alcohol use disorder constituted 73.7% of the cohort, having an opioid use disorder or sedative hypnotics use disorder was associated with the highest death rates; 1.29–1.52 and 1.47–1.74 higher mortality risk than those without such diagnoses. Conclusion This study demonstrates that data from visits to SUD emergency wards can be used to identify mortality risk factors, such as gender, type of diagnosis, number of diagnoses, and number of visits to the SUD emergency ward. Knowledge about patterns of patient visits and mortality risk could be used to increase patient safety through a decision support tool integrated with the electronic medical records. An improved system for early detection of increased mortality risk offers an opportunity for an adaptive patient safety system. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
