- Abstract
A study published in the journal Anaesthesia investigated the relationship between the type and dose of opioids used before surgery and the likelihood of persistent opioid use after surgery. The study found that the type of opioid used before surgery did not have a significant impact on the likelihood of persistent opioid use. However, among patients who used modified-release opioids before surgery, a higher dose was associated with a higher likelihood of persistent opioid use. The study suggests that interventions to reduce persistent opioid use may be most effective for patients who have prior experience with opioids. The study acknowledges limitations in its data and suggests that further research is needed. Overall, the study indicates that the type of opioid used before surgery does not have a significant effect on persistent opioid use after surgery.
