Objective: To examine recent literature and determine common clinical risk factors between antecedent traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the following development of opioid misuse and provide a framework for clinical identification of at-risk subjects and evaluate potential treatment implications within this association. Design: A comprehensive systematic literature search of PubMed was conducted for articles between 2000 and December 2022. Studies were included if the human participant had any head trauma exposure and any chronic opioid use or dependence. After eligibility criteria were applied, 16 studies were assessed for thematic trends. Results: Opioid use disorder (OUD) risks are heightened in cohorts with head trauma exposed to opioids while in the hospital, specifically with tramadol and oxycodone. Chronic pain was the most common predictor of long-term OUD, and continuous somatic symptoms associated with the TBI can lead to long-term opioid usage. Individuals who present with coexisting psychiatric conditions pose significantly more risk associated with a higher risk of long-term opioid use. Conclusion: Findings indicate that therapists and clinicians must consider a risk profile for persons with TBI and follow an integrated care approach to account for mental health, prior substance misuse, presenting somatic symptoms, and current medication regimen during evaluation.

Objective: The objective of this study is to examine rural hospitals' status in implementing opioid stewardship program (OSP) elements and assess differences in implementation in emergency department (ED) and acute inpatient departments. Design: Health administrator survey to identify the number and type of OSP elements that each hospital has implemented. Setting: Arizona critical access hospitals (CAHs). Participants: ED and acute inpatient department heads at 17 Arizona CAHs (total of 34 assessments). Main outcome measures: Implementation of 11 OSP elements, by department (ED vs inpatient) and prevention orientation (primary vs tertiary). Results: The percentage of implemented elements ranged from 35 to 94 percent in EDs and 24 to 88 percent in acute care departments. Reviewing the prescription drug monitoring program database and offering alternatives to opioids were the most frequently implemented. Assessing opioid use disorder (OUD) and prescribing naloxone were among the least. The number of implemented elements tended to be uniform across departments. We found that CAHs implemented, on average, 67 percent of elements that prevent unnecessary opioid use and 54 percent of elements that treat OUD. Conclusions: Some OSP elements were in place in nearly every Arizona CAH, while others were present in only a quarter or a third of hospitals. To improve, more attention is needed to define and standardize OSPs. Equal priority should be given to preventing unnecessary opioid initiation and treating opioid misuse or OUD, as well as quality control strategies that provide an opportunity for continuous improvement.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of recent changes to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) morphine milligram equivalent (MME)/day threshold recommendations on healthcare utilization. Design: A retrospective cohort study of new chronic opioid users (NCOUs). Setting: Commercially insured plans across the United States using IQVIA PharMetrics® Plus for Academics database with new use between January 2014 and March 2015. Patients: NCOUs with ≥60-day coverage of opioids within a 90-day period with ≥30-day opioid-free period prior to the date of the first qualifying opioid prescription. Interventions: NCOU categorized by the CDC three-tiered risk-based average MME/day thresholds: low (>0 to <50), medium (≥50 to <90), and high (≥90). Main outcome measures: Multivariable logistic regression was used to calculate adjusted odds of incurring an acute care encounter (ACE) (all-cause and opioid related) between the thresholds (adjusted odds, 95 percent confidence interval). Results: In adjusted analyses, when compared to low threshold, there was no difference in the odds of all-cause ACE across the medium (1.01, 0.94-1.28) and high (1.01, 0.84-1.22) thresholds. When compared to low threshold, a statistically insignificant increase was observed when evaluating opioid-related ACE among medium (1.86, 0.86-4.02) and high (1.51, 0.65-3.52) thresholds. Conclusions: There was no difference in odds of an all-cause or opioid-related ACE associated with the thresholds. Early-intervention programs and policies exploring reduction of MME/day among NCOUs may not result in short-term reduction in all-cause or opioid-related ACEs. Further assessment of potential long-term reduction in ACEs among this cohort may be insightful.

We report a 30-case series from the Pain Management Center at the Massachusetts General Hospital where we have applied a guideline to convert chronic treatment for pain from full agonist opioids (FAO) to buprenorphine (BUP). Of the patients, 24 (80 percent) elected to continue BUP over FAO. Five conversions were stopped for side effects (fatigue) and/or lack of sufficient pain reduction. One patient elected not to participate on the day that the conversion was to begin. There were no major adverse events. We conclude that conversion to BUP should be considered as an alternative to treat patients on chronic opioids for pain.

Introduction: Pain is one of the most common complaints that brings a patient to a hospital. For this, usually, the patient might have already consumed various types of pain killer combinations, either prescribed or over-the-counter. In some of these cases, a patient consumes these medicines unmonitored for a long time and then comes with complications, among which gastrointestinal tract obstruction and perforation are the most life threatening. Materials and methods: Case files from the Department of Surgery were retrieved and studied. Patients were contacted telephonically for details of drug abuse history. These were then further studied in detail. Results: Forty-eight (68 percent) patients out of a total of 78 had a history of drug abuse. The most commonly abused pain killer was a combination of anti-inflammatory and other salts, which was found in 22 (46 percent) patients, followed by tramadol, NSAIDs, opium, and alcohol (23, 17, 10, and 4 percent, respectively). These groups were comparable in socio-demographic details except in the mean age, occupation, and gender distribution, and the difference was significant (p < 0.01). The most common cause for starting to use any of the above-mentioned pain killer was persistent pain. The most common site of obstruction in drug abusers was the stomach (60 percent), followed by the small intestine (38 percent) and the large intestine (2 percent). Limitations: (1) This is an observational retrospective record review. (2) Records were studied in hospital settings, so results should be generalized cautiously. (3) Risk of recall bias is present. Conclusion: Pain killers should always be prescribed with caution and for a short duration. Alternative options for pain relief should be made available, and doctors should be trained. Drug abusers tend to have a gastrointestinal complication at an early age, which means they are prone to further complications and recurrence if the problem is not addressed on time.

Tianeptine, an antidepressant and full μ-opioid receptor agonist, has increased in popularity and has been used as an over-the-counter supplement over the past decade. Due to its well-documented euphoric effects, there exists elevated risk for potential abuse. Buprenorphine–naloxone has been successfully utilized to treat opioid use disorder (OUD) in patients concurrently using tianeptine, limiting withdrawal symptoms and abstinence. However, there is limited evidence on the management of tianeptine use disorder, specifically methadone or naltrexone. The current opioid epidemic, the emerging use of tianeptine, and the lack of physician awareness have emphasized the need for further research on the role of tianeptine in medication-assisted treatment for OUD. This case report aims to demonstrate how medication-assisted therapy can be successfully utilized in a patient with opioid and severe other (tianeptine) drug use disorder.

Introduction: Orthopedic surgical procedures are expected to increase annually, making it imperative to understand the correlations between patient genetic makeup and post-operative pain levels. Methods: We performed a systematic literature review using PubMed and Cochrane databases in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. A total of 299 articles were initially selected, 20 articles remained after title and abstract review, and nine articles were selected for inclusion upon full text review. Results: Genetic risk factors identified included the A allele of the 5HT2A gene single nucleotide polymorphism, the AA genotype of the ADRB2 gene, the CG genotype of the IL6 gene, the genotypes CT and TT of the NTRK1 gene, genotypes AA and GA of the OPRM gene, and the AA and GA genotypes of the COMT gene. Additional studies in the review discuss statistical significance of other variants of the COMT gene. Conclusion: There have been genetic association studies performed on the patient heterogeneity and its relationship on patient pain levels, but more data need to be collected to understand the clinical utility of stratifying patients based on genomic sequence.

Objective: To examine recent literature and determine common clinical risk factors between antecedent traumatic brain injury (TBI) and the following development of opioid misuse and provide a framework for clinical identification of at-risk subjects and evaluate potential treatment implications within this association. Design: A comprehensive systematic literature search of PubMed was conducted for articles between 2000 and December 2022. Studies were included if the human participant had any head trauma exposure and any chronic opioid use or dependence. After eligibility criteria were applied, 16 studies were assessed for thematic trends. Results: Opioid use disorder (OUD) risks are heightened in cohorts with head trauma exposed to opioids while in the hospital, specifically with tramadol and oxycodone. Chronic pain was the most common predictor of long-term OUD, and continuous somatic symptoms associated with the TBI can lead to long-term opioid usage. Individuals who present with coexisting psychiatric conditions pose significantly more risk associated with a higher risk of long-term opioid use. Conclusion: Findings indicate that therapists and clinicians must consider a risk profile for persons with TBI and follow an integrated care approach to account for mental health, prior substance misuse, presenting somatic symptoms, and current medication regimen during evaluation.

Introduction: Orthopedic surgical procedures are expected to increase annually, making it imperative to understand the correlations between patient genetic makeup and post-operative pain levels. Methods: We performed a systematic literature review using PubMed and Cochrane databases in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. A total of 299 articles were initially selected, 20 articles remained after title and abstract review, and nine articles were selected for inclusion upon full text review. Results: Genetic risk factors identified included the A allele of the 5HT2A gene single nucleotide polymorphism, the AA genotype of the ADRB2 gene, the CG genotype of the IL6 gene, the genotypes CT and TT of the NTRK1 gene, genotypes AA and GA of the OPRM gene, and the AA and GA genotypes of the COMT gene. Additional studies in the review discuss statistical significance of other variants of the COMT gene. Conclusion: There have been genetic association studies performed on the patient heterogeneity and its relationship on patient pain levels, but more data need to be collected to understand the clinical utility of stratifying patients based on genomic sequence.
导言:骨科手术预计将逐年增加,因此了解患者基因构成与术后疼痛程度之间的相关性势在必行。研究方法根据《系统综述和元分析首选报告项目》指南,我们使用 PubMed 和 Cochrane 数据库进行了系统文献综述。最初共筛选出 299 篇文章,在对标题和摘要进行审查后保留了 20 篇文章,在对全文进行审查后筛选出 9 篇文章纳入其中。研究结果确定的遗传风险因素包括 5HT2A 基因单核苷酸多态性的 A 等位基因、ADRB2 基因的 AA 基因型、IL6 基因的 CG 基因型、NTRK1 基因的 CT 和 TT 基因型、OPRM 基因的 AA 和 GA 基因型以及 COMT 基因的 AA 和 GA 基因型。综述中的其他研究讨论了 COMT 基因其他变体的统计学意义。结论目前已对患者的异质性及其与患者疼痛程度的关系进行了遗传关联研究,但还需要收集更多数据,以了解根据基因组序列对患者进行分层的临床实用性。
