Incidence and risk factors of new persistent opioid use after surgery and trauma: A systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Persistent opioid use (POU) can occur with opioid use after surgery or trauma. Current systematic reviews include patients with previous exposure to opioids, meaning their findings may not be relevant to patients who are opioid naïve (i.e. Most recent exposure was from surgery or trauma). The aim of this review was to synthesise narratively the evidence relating to the incidence of, and risk factors for POU in opioid-naïve surgical or trauma patients.

Method

Structured searches of Embase, Medline, CINAHL, Web of Science, and Scopus were conducted, with final search performed on the 17th of July 2023. Searches were limited to human participants to identify studies that assessed POU following hospital admission due to surgery or trauma. Search terms relating to 'opi
