Table 3.

Weighted prevalence of CRT abuse by alternative oral methods of administration among abusers of the product category by any route

Product Weighted Abuse Prevalence* Prevalence 95% CI Relative Risk P
CRT 26.25 25.25–27.28 Reference
Comparators Non-CRT versions 18.82 18.33–19.32 0.72 <0.0001
Non-CRT oxycodone ER 20.63 20.09–21.18 0.78 <0.0001
Morphine ER 7.62 6.15–9.40 0.29 <0.0001

Oxycodone IR SE 14.58 13.85–15.34 0.55 <0.0001

CI = confidence interval; CRT = crush-resistant tablet formulations.

*

The denominator is the number of abusers of the product category by any route; the prevalence estimate is the cases per 100 abusers of product by any route.

See Table 1 for specific products within each category.

Note that the relative risk values below 1 indicate that the comparator estimate is smaller than the reference product although the difference may or may not be significant. Relative risk values greater than 1 imply that the comparator estimate is greater than the reference.
