Association between changes in postoperative opioid utilization and long-term health care spending among surgical patients with chronic opioid utilization.
There is growing interest in identifying and developing interventions aimed at reducing the risk of increased, long-term opioid use among surgical patients. While understanding how these interventions impact health care spending has important policy implications and may facilitate the widespread adoption of these interventions, the extent to which they may impact health care spending among surgical patients who utilize opioids chronically is unknown. This study examined the association between changes in postoperative opioid utilization and long-term health care spending among surgical patients with chronic opioid utilization.
