Development and Validation of a Model for Opioid Prescribing Following Gynecological Surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Overprescription of opioid medications following surgery is well documented. Current prescribing models have been proposed in narrow patient populations, which limits their generalizability.

Objective

To develop and validate a model for predicting outpatient opioid use following a range of gynecological surgical procedures.

Design, setting, and participants

In this prognostic study, statistical models were explored using data from a training cohort of participants undergoing gynecological surgery for benign and malignant indications enrolled prospectively at a single institution's academic gynecologic oncology practice from February 2018 to March 2019 (cohort 1) and considering 39 candidate predictors of opioid use. Final models were internally validated us
