Changes in opioid prescribing habits for patients undergoing rhinoplasty and septoplasty

JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery Oct 16, 2019

Aulet RM, et al. - Researchers sought to assess changes in opioid prescribing habits for patients undergoing rhinoplasty and/or septoplasty before and after the Vermont opioid prescribing legislation took effect on July 1, 2017. In this single-institution case-control study of 80 adults, it was identified that the Vermont opioid prescribing legislation has led to a decrease in the mean number of opioid pills prescribed to patients, from 17.5 to 9.7. This was noted to be associated with a statistically significant decrease in the mean morphine milligram equivalents that were prescribed (130.9 to 73.2). The number of postoperative telephone calls for pain, second prescriptions, or increased complaints of pain at the postoperative visit showed no statistically significant difference. This indicates the sufficiency of the decreased amount of opioids prescribed for pain control.
