Buprenorphine maintenance therapy (BMT) expands treatment access for opioid dependence and can be integrated into primary health-care settings. Treating opioid dependence, however, should ideally improve other aspects of overall health, including preventive services. Therefore, we examined how BMT affects preventive health-care outcomes, specifically nine nationally recommended primary care quality health-care indicators (QHIs), within federally qualified health centers (FQHCs) from an observational cohort study of 266 opioid-dependent patients initiating BMT between 07/01/07 and 11/30/08 within Connecticut’s largest FQHC network. Nine nationally recommended preventive QHIs were collected longitudinally from electronic health records, including screening for chronic infections, metabolic conditions, and cancer. A composite QHI score (QHI-S), based on the percentage of eligible QHIs achieved, was categorized as QHI-S ≥80 % (recommended) and ≥90 % (optimal). The proportion of subjects achieving a composite QHI-S ≥80 and ≥90 % was 57.1 and 28.6 %, respectively. Screening was highest for hypertension (91.0 %), hepatitis C (80.1 %), hepatitis B (76.3 %), human immunodeficiency virus (71.4 %), and hyperlipidemia (72.9 %) and lower for syphilis (49.3 %) and cervical (58.5 %), breast (44.4 %), and colorectal (48.7 %) cancer. Achieving QHI-S ≥80 % was positively and independently associated with ≥3-month BMT retention (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.19; 95 % confidence interval (CI) = 1.18–4.04) and BMT prescription by primary care providers (PCPs) rather than addiction psychiatric specialists (AOR = 3.38; 95 % CI = 1.78–6.37), and negatively with being female (AOR = 0.30; 95 % CI = 0.16–0.55). Within primary health-care settings, achieving greater nationally recommended health-care screenings or QHIs was associated with being able to successfully retain patients on buprenorphine longer (3 months or more) and when buprenorphine was prescribed simultaneously by PCPs rather than psychiatric specialists. Decreased preventive screening for opioid-dependent women, however, may require gender-based strategies for achieving health-care parity. When patients can be retained, integrating BMT into urban FQHCs is associated with improved health outcomes including increased multiple preventive health-care screenings.
