Objectives: This study aimed to better understand differences in the total days' supply and fills of common opiates following urologic procedures. Materials and Methods: The Truven Health MarketScan® database was used to extract CPT codes from adults 18 years or older who underwent a urologic procedure with 90-day follow-up from 2012–2015 within the Austin–Round Rock, Texas metropolitan service area. A multivariate analysis and first hurdle modeling with a logistic outcome for any opiates was used to (1) assess differences in opioid prescribing patterns, (2) investigate opioid prescription outcomes, and (3) explore variability among opiate prescription patterns across seven urologic procedure categories. Results: Among the 2312 patients who met the inclusion criteria, 23.7% received an opiate, with an average total day's supply of 6.20 (range 2.61–10.59). The proportion of patients receiving opiates varied significantly by procedure type (p = 0.028). Patients that had reconstructive procedures had the highest proportion of any opiates and the highest number of mean opiate prescriptions among the seven procedure categories (42% received opiates, p = 0.028, mean opiate prescriptions were 1.0 among all patients, p = 0.026). After adjustments, the multivariate analysis demonstrated that patients undergoing reconstructive procedures filled more opiate prescriptions (odds ratio (OR) = 1.86, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.00–3.50, p = 0.05) compared to other subcategories. Of those that received opiates, reconstructive patients had a shorter time to fills (mean −18.4 days, CI −8.40 to −28.50, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Patients undergoing reconstructive procedures are prescribed and fill more opiates compared to other common urological procedures. The standardization and implementation of postoperative pain regimens may help curtail this variability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
