Predictive Model for Opioid Use Disorder in Chronic Pain: A Development and Validation Study.

Methods

An innovative two-stage predictive model was developed from retrospective (n = 129) and non-overlapping prospective (n = 100) cohorts of real-world CNCP outpatients. All subjects used prescribed opioids for 6 or more months. Sociodemographic, clinical and pharmacologic
