Incidence and risk factors of long-term opioid use in elderly trauma patients

Annals of Surgery Nov 16, 2018

Daoust R, et al. - Researchers aimed at determining the incidence and risk factors of opioid use 1 year after injury in elderly trauma patients via conducting a retrospective observational multicenter cohort study on registry data. They analyzed all patients 65 years and older admitted (hospital stay >2 days) for injury in 57 adult trauma centers in the province of Quebec (Canada) between 2004 and 2014. Results highlight a risk of long-term opioid use among elderly trauma patients, especially if they had preinjury or early postinjury opioid consumption.
