Summary
Background
Opioid dependence is associated with substantial health and social burdens, and opioid agonist treatment (OAT) is highly effective in improving multiple outcomes for people who receive this treatment.

We aimed to examine buprenorphine compared with methadone in the treatment of opioid dependence across a wide range of primary and secondary outcomes.
Methods
The authors conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies comparing treatment with buprenorphine or methadone. Primary outcomes were...
