Article Synopsis
  • Previous studies indicate a link between larger opioid prescriptions after surgery and the risk of new persistent opioid use (NPOU), but the connection between NPOU and actual postoperative opioid usage was unclear.
  • This study analyzed data from over 36,000 patients who underwent surgery and were opioid naïve prior to their procedures, discovering that 1.3% developed NPOU, with higher opioid consumption in the first 30 days after discharge correlating to an increased risk of NPOU.
  • Results suggest that each additional opioid pill taken in the post-surgery period raises the likelihood of developing NPOU, highlighting the critical role of careful opioid prescribing in preventing long-term opioid dependence.
