Characterization of neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome in Arizona from 2010-2017.

In this paper, we describe a population of mothers who are opioid dependent at the time of giving birth and neonates exposed to opioids in utero who experience withdrawal following birth. While there have been studies of national trends in this population, there remains a gap in studies of regional...
