Article Synopsis
- This study explores how frailty in older adults affects their use of opioids after surgery, with a focus on pain management and potential misuse.
- Researchers recruited patients aged 65 and older undergoing elective surgeries, assessing their frailty and pain levels before surgery and tracking their opioid consumption and pain ratings during and after hospitalization.
- Findings indicated that frail patients were more likely to use opioids and consumed a much larger percentage of the opioids prescribed to them compared to non-frail patients, highlighting a need for tailored pain management strategies in this population.

We plan to continue virtual peer teaching beyond the pandemic.
