Abstract

Multimorbidity is the presence of two or more long-term medical conditions. Chronic pain affects more than half of people with multimorbidity, and optimal treatment strategies are unknown. We aimed to quantify the risk of adverse outcomes from the following analgesics: opioids, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), and gabapentinoids in adults with multimorbidity.
