This study examines patient correlates of buprenorphine retention and whether an integrated, interdisciplinary treatment model (buprenorphine and behavioral health) is associated with higher odds of buprenorphine retention than a primarily medication-only treatment model. Methods: Electronic health record data from adult patients with an OUD, >= 1 buprenorphine order and >= 1 visit to either of two primary care clinics between 9/2/2014-6/27/2018 were extracted (N = 494 patients). Two research team members reviewed the medication start and stop dates for each buprenorphine order and classified as retained (>= 6 months of orders) or not retained (<6 months of orders). Logistic regressions estimated the odds of retention on buprenorphine by 1) patient characteristics and 2) timing of patient's engagement in buprenorphine treatment (pre- or post-implementation of an integrated treatment model). Results: Of the study sample, 53% had >= 6 months of buprenorphine orders. Almost two times higher odds of retention were found among patients with >= 1 psychiatric comorbidity (versus none) and among those with buprenorphine orders in the post- versus pre-period. Conclusions: An integrated, interdisciplinary model of OUD treatment was associated with >= 6 months of buprenorphine orders among our study population. Continued research is needed in real-world primary care settings to understand the impact of OUD treatment models on patient outcomes. A more nuanced examination of the associations between psychiatric diagnoses and buprenorphine treatment retention is warranted. 收起
