Background: The purpose of the study was to review the cumulative corticosteroid doses received from epidural and non-epidural-based pain interventions in a cohort of patients undergoing epidural steroid injections (ESIs) with comparison to safe dosing recommendations.
Methods: Retrospective analysis was undertaken for all 349 patients who underwent a total of 581 ESIs at a single-centre, tertiary hospital in South Australia between 2017 and 2019. The primary outcome was the yearly dose analysis of cumulative steroid doses in methylprednisolone equivalents (MDPE) administered from epidural and non-epidural interventions in post-menopausal women, interpreted against maximum recommended doses.
