Purpose To measure incidence rates of and risk factors for opioid overdose among new users of prescription opioids in the Medicaid population. Methods A cohort study using Medicaid claims from four states (1999-2012) among adults continuously enrolled in Medicaid for >= 3 years free of opioid prescriptions and opioid overdose before cohort entry. Exposure and outcome of interest were prescription opioid use and apparent incident opioid overdose identified in inpatient and outpatient claims (sensitivity approximate to 97%; positive predictive value approximate to 87%), respectively. Results Among new prescription opioid users (1 336 140 persons; 246 466 person-years), the overall opioid overdose incidence rate per 100 000 person-years was 247.1 (95% confidence interval [CI], 227.5-266.7), with 251.0 (CI, 188.6-313.5) in 2002 and 225.5 (CI, 142.0-309.0) in 2012. A lower hazard for opioid overdose was seen for age 65-80 years (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 0.50; CI, 0.37-0.66) and 80-100 years (0.35; 0.23-0.52) vs 18-35 years; females (0.79; 0.67-0.93) vs males; and other/unknown race/ethnicity (0.71; 0.54-0.93) vs whites. A higher hazard was seen for initial opioid dose in morphine milligram equivalents (MMEs), 50-100 MME/day (1.52; 1.24-1.86) and >100 MME/day (1.98; 1.55-2.53), vs
