Physician Follow-Up of Pediatric and Young Adult Emergency Department Visits for Substance Use in Ontario, Canada
Purpose
To study the proportion and predictors of outpatient physician follow-up within 60 days of substance-related emergency department (ED) visits for Ontario youth.
Methods
We examined administrative data on substance-related ED visits before and during the COVID-19 pandemic among youths aged 10–24 years in Ontario, Canada. Substance-related visits were identified using International Classification of Diseases-10-CA codes. We described demographic characteristics, receipt of mental health services in the year before the ED visit, disposition from the ED, and follow-up services within 60 days of the ED visit.
Results
Between April 1, 2017, and May 31, 2021, 64,236 youth had at least one ED visit for substance use. Visits for alcohol were the most common (49%), followed by cannabis (32.3%). ED visits for all substances were more prevalent during the pandemic than prepandemic, except visits for alcohol. The receipt of follow-up physician care for substance use was low (33.2% prepandemic) but increased during the pandemic (41.7%; adjusted odds ratio 1.34, 95% CI 1.28, 1.39) and varied between substances. Mental health service history in the year before the substance-related ED visit had the strongest association with receipt of follow-up physician care within 60 days (adjusted odds ratio 6.86, 95% CI 6.57, 7.17).
Discussion
Youth frequently do not receive physician follow-ups within two months of the substance-related ED visit, although higher follow-up proportions were seen during the pandemic after the implementation of virtual care. Further research is required to understand why follow-up is low and to examine interventions that can increase connection to care.
