The Association of Prescriber Awareness of Opioid Consumption Trends with Postoperative Opioid Prescription Volume in Hip Arthroscopy: Prescriber Awareness of Opioid Consumption.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the impact of prescriber knowledge of 6-week postoperative opioid usage trends on postoperative opioid prescribing in hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome.

Methods

Two groups of patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement syndrome with the same 2 surgeons were defined. One group preceded study design and implementation and 1 group was after study completion termed the preawareness group (n = 129) and awareness group (n = 130). Baseline clinical and operative characteristics and cumulative 6-week postoperative opioid prescription amount in oral morphine equivalents (OMEs), initial discharge OMEs, and cumulative 6-week postoperative opioid refills were recorded. Multivariable models were constructed to evaluate
