Abstract

The impact of benzodiazepine use on mortality in patients with chronic non-cancer pain (CNCP) has not been identified. We aimed to examine the factors associated with benzodiazepine use among patients with CNCP and examine whether long-term benzodiazepine usage is associated with mortality in patients with CNCP.
