This study estimated the daily milligrams of morphine equivalent (MME) of illicit fentanyl use among people who use fentanyl in Los Angeles, examining clinical and epidemiological implications of these exposure levels.
The paper was only partially described here; specific sample size, methodology details, and outcome numbers are not available from the provided source text.
Clinicians treating opioid use disorder in Los Angeles should be aware that illicit fentanyl users may have markedly high daily MME exposures, which has direct implications for opioid agonist therapy dosing and overdose risk assessment.
