Patient Factors Associated with High Opioid Consumption after Common Surgical Procedures Following State-Mandated Opioid Prescription Regulations.
Abstract
State regulations have decreased prescribed opioids with more than 25% of patients abstaining from opioids. Despite this, 2 distinct populations of patients exist who consume "high" or "low" amounts of opioids. The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with postoperative opioid use after common surgical procedures and develop an opioid risk score.
