This grey literature reference is included in the Academy's Literature Collection in keeping with our mission to gather all sources of information on integration. Grey literature is comprised of materials that are not made available through traditional publishing avenues. Often, the information from unpublished resources can be limited and the risk of bias cannot be determined.
BACKGROUND: Medication-assisted treatment with buprenorphine or methadone is recommended for pregnant patients with opioid use disorders (OUDs) to minimize adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Collaborative care approaches have been successfully utilized with office-based opioid treatment with buprenorphine in primary care settings, but research is significantly limited in the obstetric setting. Our aim with this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of a collaborative care model for pregnant patients with opioid use disorder. METHODS: This is a case series of 16 pregnancies in 14 women initiated on office-based opioid treatment with buprenorphine in a perinatal mental health service embedded in 2 obstetric clinics. Patients are treated by a psychiatrist alongside their prenatal care provider and followed for up to 6 months postpartum and referred to ongoing substance abuse treatment to a community prescriber. RESULTS: The average age of the patients was 30.3 years, and an average gestational age of 23.6 weeks at the time of referral. Treatment continued until delivery in 15 (93.8%) pregnancies, with an average duration of treatment of 14.5 weeks. The majority (60%) had a cesarean delivery. Twelve (80%) infants were admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for monitoring or treatment of neonatal abstinence syndrome, 14 (87.5%) patients continued or resumed treatment with buprenorphine postpartum at the time of discharge from our program, and 13 (81.3%) were referred to a community prescriber. CONCLUSIONS: A collaborative care approach to buprenorphine treatment is feasible during pregnancy. Further research is needed to improve the treatment of OUD during pregnancy.
