PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks postpartum

oxycodone 5mg tablet leftover from prescription at discharge

Outcome measures

Outcome measures
Measure
Tailored
n=87 Participants
Participants will be prescribed an opioid based on a formula derived from inpatient opioid use Participants who received an individualized prescription were discharged with 14 \[interquartile range 12-16\] oxycodone 5mg tablets.
Control
n=85 Participants
Participants will be prescribed 30 tablets of oxycodone 5mg, which is the average prescription currently given to our population. Control: Participants will be prescribed 30 tablets of oxycodone 5mg
Unused Opioids
5 oxycodone 5mg tablets
Interval 1.0 to 8.0
10 oxycodone 5mg tablets
Interval 0.0 to 22.0

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 4 weeks postpartum

Frequency that participants reported uncontrolled pain Pain scores were examined based on how many negative responses indicating worse pain were reported to the five questions relating to analgesic adequacy. Thus participants could have a score that ranged from 0 to 5. Question 1 - I was discharged with too few opioid pills (Yes=1, No=0) Question 2 - Overall, my pain is poorly controlled by these medications (Yes=1, No=0) Question 3 - Overall, my pain from delivery has been worse than expected (Yes=1, No=0) Question 4 - Pain interfered significantly with my ability to do normal activities (Yes=1, No=0) Question 5 - Since discharge, I needed more opioid than what was expected (Yes=1, No=0)
