Factors associated with retention on medications for opioid use disorder among a cohort of adults seeking treatment in the community

Table 3 Regression results of factors associated with MOUD retention

Variable	Predicted probability (95% CI)^b	Odds ratios (95% CI)
Not houseless	0.59 (0.48–0.69)
Houseless	0.40 (0.24–0.55)	0.44 (0.20–1.00)
Not on a high dose of MOUD	0.35 (0.23–0.47)
On a high dose of MOUD^a	0.70 (0.58–0.82)	4.71 (2.05–10.84)
Pain interference (to what extent do you feel that physical pain prevents you from doing what you need to do)?		1.59 (1.15–2.19)
Not at all	0.36 (0.23–0.50)
A little	0.47 (0.37–0.56)
A moderate amount	0.57 (0.48–0.67)
Very much	0.67 (0.55–0.80)
An extreme amount	0.76 (0.61–0.91)

^aHigh dose of MOUD defined as methadone dose > 85 mg or buprenorphine dose ≥ 16 mg. Control variables in the model included baseline opioid use severity score, age, gender, and type of MOUD (methadone or buprenorphine)
^bPredicted probabilities measure the probability of MOUD retention for each variable while holding other variables in the model constant
