Project description:BACKGROUND:After decades of increased opioid pain reliever prescribing, providers are rapidly reducing prescribing. We hypothesized that reduced access to prescribed opioid pain relievers among patients previously reliant upon opioid pain relievers would result in increased illicit opioid use. METHODS AND FINDINGS:We conducted a retrospective cohort study among 602 publicly insured primary care patients who had been prescribed opioids for chronic non-cancer pain for at least three consecutive months in San Francisco, recruited through convenience sampling. We conducted a historical reconstruction interview and medical chart abstraction focused on illicit substance use and opioid pain reliever prescriptions, respectively, from 2012 through the interview date in 2017-2018. We used a nested-cohort design, in which patients were classified, based on opioid pain reliever dose change, into a series of nested cohorts starting with each follow-up quarter. Using continuation-ratio models, we estimated associations between opioid prescription discontinuation or 30% increase or decrease in dose, relative to no change, and subsequent frequency of heroin and non-prescribed opioid pain reliever use, separately. Models controlled for demographics, clinical and behavioral characteristics, and past use of heroin or non-prescribed opioid pain relievers. A total of 56,372 and 56,484 participant-quarter observations were included from the 597 and 598 participants available for analyses of heroin and non-prescribed opioid pain reliever outcomes, respectively. Participants discontinued from prescribed opioids were more likely to use heroin (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR) = 1.57, 95% CI: 1.25-1.97) and non-prescribed opioid pain relievers (AOR = 1.75, 1.45-2.11) more frequently in subsequent quarters compared to participants with unchanged opioid prescriptions. Participants whose opioid pain reliever dose increased were more likely to use heroin more frequently (AOR = 1.67, 1.32-2.12). Results held throughout sensitivity analyses. The main limitations were the observational nature of results and limited generalizability beyond safety-net settings. CONCLUSIONS:Discontinuation of prescribed opioid pain relievers was associated with more frequent non-prescribed opioid pain reliever and heroin use; increased dose was also associated with more frequent heroin use. Clinicians should be aware of these risks in determining pain management approaches.

Project description:We aimed to examine the association between opioid use and the development of dementia in patients with chronic non-cancer pain in South Korea. Data were extracted from the National Health Insurance Service database in South Korea. Adult patients diagnosed with musculoskeletal diseases with chronic non-cancer pain between 2010 and 2015 were included in the analysis. Patients who were prescribed opioids regularly and continuously for ≥ 90 days were classified as opioid users. In total, 1,261,682 patients with chronic non-cancer pain were included in the final analysis, of whom 21,800 (1.7%) were opioid users. From January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2020, 35,239 (2.8%) patients with chronic non-cancer pain were newly diagnosed with dementia. In the multivariable model, opioid users showed a 15% higher risk of developing dementia than the control group. Additionally, opioid users showed a 15% and 16% higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and unspecified dementia, respectively, than the control group, but did not show any significant differences for vascular dementia. Among adult patients with chronic non-cancer pain, opioid users were at a higher risk of developing dementia than the control group; the risk was significantly higher for Alzheimer's disease but not for vascular dementia in this study. Our results suggest that in patients with CNCP, public health strategies should target opioid users for early dementia detection and intervention.

Project description:BackgroundConcurrent use of alcohol with opioids is common among chronic pain patients, heightening the risk for disordered opioid use and overdose, yet the relationship between alcohol consumption and opioid craving among chronic pain patients remains largely unexplored. Here we examined the relationship between alcohol consumption and opioid craving among chronic pain patients on long-term opioid therapy.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted with 335 chronic pain patients on long-term opioid therapy. Participants completed the Timeline Followback to assess alcohol consumption, as well as measures of opioid craving, pain severity, and pain interference. Linear regression analyses examined the relationship between alcohol consumption and opioid craving, controlling for pain severity, pain interference, and opioid misuse severity.ResultsAlcohol consumption (total number of drinks and amount consumed in one sitting) was positively associated with opioid craving (p < 0.001 and p = 0.005, respectively). Pain severity did not predict opioid craving. The relationship between alcohol consumption and opioid craving remained significant after controlling for pain severity, pain interference, and opioid misuse severity.ConclusionAlcohol consumption is linked with more severe opioid craving among chronic pain patients prescribed long-term opioid therapy. Patients receiving opioid analgesics should be carefully screened for co-use of alcohol.

Project description:BackgroundPrescription opioid use is a global health issue. Previous systematic reviews have not identified that any specific intervention supports prescription opioid reduction effectively. In keeping with the nature of a scoping review, this review details an overview of the existing literature on this topic, with quality of evidence being discussed rather than formally analysed.AimThis review aimed to examine and describe outpatient interventions that support the reduction of prescription opioid medication for chronic non cancer pain.Eligibility criteriaAbstracts were reviewed against the inclusion criteria of outpatient clinical interventions, for the purpose of prescription opioid dose reduction, offered to adults with CNCP.Sources of evidenceFollowing a structured review approach an electronic database search, of Medline, Embase, Cochrane, Cinahl, and Proquest and grey literature was undertaken. Search results were screened by title for relevance.Charting methodsTwo reviewers adhering to the PRISMA-ScR checklist charted and assessed studies for quality using Critical Appraisal Skills Programme checklist assessment tools. Extracted data were collated and synthesised for presentation as a tabular and narrative review.ResultsFrom the initial search of 5089 papers, 19 underwent full-text review and quality appraisal. A variety of interventions were described to support reduction in prescription opioid use, however only one study of at least fair quality was able to demonstrate a demonstrated a statistically significant benefit in reducing measured opioid dose compared with a control group. Interventions were implemented in both specialist pain services and in primary care with multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary clinician care. Barriers and facilitators were observed in both settings.Conclusion and implications for clinical practiceFurther rigorous research needs to be conducted to conclusively answer the question of what outpatient interventions support opioid reduction in chronic non cancer pain. This scoping review is the first step of inquiry in the development of a nursing intervention to support reduction of prescription opioids.
