State Unintentional Drug Overdose Reporting System (SUDORS)
Introduction
This document displays the screens that abstractors use to enter required data elements for the SUDORS module. Each section of the module is shown separately, with a screenshot of the previous version on the left and the new version on the right. Variables that have not changed are indicated with black text with the same number on both the right and the left, and the corresponding variable name is given below the screenshot. Any new variables on the righthand side are flagged in red with additional numbers, and the corresponding variable names given below. Any changes are highlighted in a text box below both screenshots.

Changes to Drug Overdose and Substance Abuse Sections:
Additional
data element added to Drug Overdose/Poisoning section (#6) that
allows the abstractor to identify unintentional/undetermined drug
overdose deaths. This facilitates preliminary counts of drug
overdose deaths 1
additional question added to capture recent emergency department
visit (#5). This identifies an opportunity for a public health
intervention. 7 response
categories added (#2a – #2g) that are designed to detect the
type of substance abuse treatment the decedent received. This data
can provide important data to treatment providers and public health
officials tracking the effectiveness of different treatment
approaches.

Changes to Scene Indications of Drug Use Sections:
For rapid
overdoses (#4), the response option “body position”
(#4e) was added based on feedback from medical examiner/coroners
and SUDORS abstractors that rapid overdose could be determined by
the position of the body. Buccal was
added to route of drug administration (#13) because it was
identified as a route in opioid overdose deaths that was not on the
previous list.
For
evidence of illicit drug use (#12), illicit drug packaging (#12g)
was added because it occurred in a sufficient number of drug
overdose deaths to track. This will also improve the identification
of drug overdose deaths involving illicit drugs.
Scene or
prescription evidence of fentanyl (#11L) was added because SUDORS
abstractors indicated this information was available and it is
critical to determine whether the fentanyl contributing to the
overdose was prescribed versus illicitly manufactured.

Changes to Response to Drug Overdose and Medical History
Sections: 8
additional data elements (#1a – #1h) capture more detail on
the bystanders of the fatal overdose. This information can be
critical in allocating naloxone and other training resources to
people who are likely to be present during fatal opioid overdoses. 6
additional data elements (#1i – #1n) expand the list of
bystander’s response to the overdose and emerge from state
abstractors work on SUDORS. This will increase information on
bystanders responses to fatal overdose and can inform training of
bystanders likely to respond to overdoses. 12
additional data elements capture information on decedent’s
pre-existing conditions that: 1) may have contributed to the fatal
overdose (#8a – #8e and #8l), 2) be related to injection drug
use (#8i and #8j), or 3) explain the decedent’s use and/or
prescription of opioid pain relievers (#8f – #8h and #8k).
7
additional data elements (#24 – #30) capture reasons
bystander’s response to an overdose were delayed. Identifying
these reasons can provide critical knowledge in improving responses
to potentially fatal drug overdoses. 1
additional data element (#22) was added to capture the condition of
the decedent when first responders arrived. This informaiton is
important because the appropriate medical response may vary
depending on whether the decedent had a heart beat when first
responders arrived. 6
additional data elements (#23a – #23f) were added to capture
the full array of treatments first responders administred to drug
overdose decedents. This can inform training for future responses
to potentially fatal drug overdoses.

additional variable added to capture evidence that the decedent was
prescribed fentanyl. This information is critical in determining
whether the death was most likely linked with prescription fentanyl
versus illicitly manufactured fentanyl.
