Objective: To evaluate indications for gabapentinoid prescription at an academic medical center.

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients aged 18 years or older who were prescribed gabapentinoids (gabapentin or pregabalin) during the 2019 calendar year at an academic medical center in the US Midwest.

Methods: One hundred and fifty-four children from a birth cohort were followed at 24, 36, and 48 months of age.

Results: Of the 154 children examined, 0% (0/154), 7% (11/154), and 28% (40/154) had erosion detected for the first time at 24, 36, and 48 months, respectively (P < 0.
