Opioid Pain Medication Use in New Urogynecology Patients.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of opioid pain medication use among patients presenting for a new visit to the urogynecology clinic compared with those presenting to general gynecology.

Methods: We identified all patients who presented for new patient visits to the urogynecology and gynecology clinics between January 1, 2016, and December 31, 2016. Any previous or current opioid use was extracted from the electronic medical record medication list.
