Background: Adverse outcomes and resource use rates are high after hip fracture surgery. Peripheral nerve blocks could improve outcomes through enhanced analgesia and decreased opioid related adverse events. We hypothesized that these benefits would translate into decreased resource use (length of stay [primary outcome] and costs), and better clinical outcomes (pneumonia and mortality).

From the Department of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine (G.M.H., R.R., A.L., C.J.L.M., F.A., J.M., D.I.M.) School of Epidemiology and Public Health (D.I.M.), University of Ottawa, Ottawa, Canada The Ottawa Hospital Research Institute, Ottawa, Canada (R.R., A.L., C.J.L.M., F.A., D.I.M.) the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences (IC/ES), Toronto, Canada (D.I.M.).
Background: Nerve blocks improve early pain after ambulatory shoulder surgery; impact on postdischarge outcomes is poorly described. Our objective was to measure the association between nerve blocks and health system outcomes after ambulatory shoulder surgery.
Methods: We conducted a population-based cohort study using linked administrative data from 118 hospitals in Ontario, Canada.
