Summary

The legitimate need for opioid medications for acute pain management in pediatric trauma patients is recognized, however, the high dose and duration of opioid drugs prescribed by medical providers has been associated with an increased risk of opioid abuse and chronic use by patients. The overarching goal of application is to assess opioid use and outcomes of pediatric patients treated for either burn injuries or knee arthroscopy procedures at a large academic pediatric medical center before and after Ohio opioid prescription rules for acute pain were implemented on August 21, 2017. Also, to evaluate patient use of opioids at 90-days post-treatment.
