Cooperman SP, Jin MC, Qian ZJ, et al. - Researchers conducted the study for describing opioid stewardship in ambulatory otologic surgery from 2005 to 2017. In total, 17,431 adult opioid-naïve outpatients were involved in the study. They used multiple regression to evaluate sociodemographic and geographic predictors of postoperative morphine milligram equivalents prescribed, including procedure type, year of procedure, age, gender, education, income level, and geographic region of the United States. Although the amount of opioids prescribed perioperatively has decreased in recent years, otologists should continue to be mindful of the potential for overprescribing, considering the relatively low opioid consumption of patients in previous studies.
