Opioid Consumption After Hospital Discharge in Orthopedic Surgery

NCT03185117 · Status: TERMINATED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 70

Last updated 2021-10-29

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

At the Ohio State University, and across the country, surgical patients admitted to the hospital are over-prescribed a significant amount of opioid medications upon discharge to home. Recent studies reveal that a large percentage of patients prescribed opioid medications after surgery have approximately half of the prescribed medication left over. This study aims to evaluate reported opioid use after surgery in patients undergoing major orthopedic surgery in order to better approach the issue with current opioid use and abuse trends while still providing adequate medical care and pain management to patients
