Narcotics Inpatient / Outpatient
Stopped early
Conditions studied: Narcotic Use
In brief
Managing pain in postoperative patients presents challenges in striking a balance between achieving adequate pain control and over-prescribing opioids that have the potential to contribute to the opioid epidemic. There are no clear guidelines informing postoperative opioid prescribing in obstetrics and gynecology. The primary aim for this study are to better understand the factors that impact opioid use for pain management in gynecologic surgery patient after discharge. The second aim is to develop a model that incorporates individual patient baseline measures (e.g. anxiety, fibromyalgia score, inpatient narcotic consumption) to predict the amount of opioids needed following discharge.
