Table 3 shows baseline characteristics of patients who have a future SUD or overdose diagnosis based on ICD-9/10 codes. The percentages reflect the row percentage of patients in each category that had an SUD diagnosis (left column) or overdose diagnosis (right column). For example, 50% of patients that screened positive for drugs during their initial hospital visit had an SUD diagnosis in the 5 years after their discharge.
