Association of Preoperative Opioid Use and Prolonged Postoperative Opioid Use Following Total Ankle Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Perioperative opioid consumption has received a great deal of recent attention. However, perioperative opioid utilization in the total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) population has not been well studied. We sought to identify factors associated with postoperative opioid use following TAA.

Methods

The PearlDiver Research Program was used to query the Humana, Inc, administrative claims database from 2007 to 2017 for patients undergoing TAA. Additional variables of interest were identified using ICD-9 and ICD-10 codes. Preoperative opioid use was defined as having filled an opioid prescription in the 3 months before TAA. Prescription opioid claims data were tracked for 12 months postoperatively. Risk ratios (RRs) were calculated and multivariate analysis was performed at 3
