Article Synopsis
- The study examines the use of opioid analgesics by patients with urolithiasis after being treated in the emergency department, highlighting the prevalence of opioid prescriptions among these patients.
- Data analysis revealed that 79% of the 892 patients studied received opioid prescriptions at discharge, and those prescribed opioids were significantly more likely to continue using them in the days following their ED visit.
- The findings suggest that patients who are given opioids at discharge are more likely to keep using them, regardless of their pain status at discharge, indicating potential implications for ongoing opioid use post-treatment.

Objective: Previous research has suggested caution about opioid analgesic usage in the emergency department (ED) setting and raised concerns about variations in prescription opioid analgesic usage, both across institutions and for whom they are prescribed. We examined opioid analgesic usage in ED patients with suspected urolithiasis across fifteen participating hospitals.
Methods: This is a secondary analysis of a clinical trial including adult ED patients with suspected urolithiasis.

Background: Multimorbidity is a major driver of physical and cognitive impairment, but rates of decline are also related to ageing. We sought to determine trajectories of decline in a large cohort by disease status, and examined their correspondence with biomarkers of ageing processes including growth hormone, sex steroid, inflammation, visceral adiposity and kidney function pathways.
Methods: We have followed the 5888 participants in the Cardiovascular Health Study (CHS) for healthy ageing and longevity since 1989-90.
