Key Points Question How has opioid use in pediatric patients changed over the past 10 years, and what factors are associated with differences in opioid use? Findings A cross-sectional study of 69 152 emergency department visits found that opioid prescribing rates decreased between 2006 to 2010 (8.23%) and 2011 to 2015 (6.30%). Region, race, age, and payment method were associated with differences in opioid prescribing. Meaning Opioid rates have decreased in recent years but inconsistencies in prescribing continue, suggesting the need for further research.
