Background and Objectives Public health surveillance for overdose sometimes depends on nonfatal drug overdoses recorded in health records. However, the proportion of total overdoses identified through health record systems is unclear. Comparison of overdoses from health records to those that are self‐reported may provide insight on the proportion of nonfatal overdoses that are not identified. Methods We conducted a cohort study linking survey data on overdose from a national survey of Veterans to United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) health records, including community care paid for by VA. Self‐reported overdose in the prior 3 years was compared to diagnostic codes for overdoses and substance use disorders in the same time period. Results The sensitivity of diagnostic codes for overdose, compared to self‐report as a reference standard for this analysis, varied by substance: 28.1% for alcohol, 23.1% for sedatives, 12.0% for opioids, and 5.5% for cocaine. There was a notable concordance between substance use disorder diagnoses and self‐reported overdose (sensitivity range 17.9%–90.6%). Discussion and Conclusions Diagnostic codes in health records may not identify a substantial proportion of drug overdoses. A health record diagnosis of substance use disorder may offer a stronger inference regarding the size of the population at risk. Alternatively, screening for self‐reported overdose in routine clinical care could enhance overdose surveillance and targeted intervention. Scientific Significance This study suggests that diagnostic codes for overdose are insensitive. These findings support consideration of alternative approaches to overdose surveillance in public health.
