Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this research is to study serious clinical problems from surgical pain and the use of oxycodone or other opioids in women having a Cesarean Delivery to improve the safety and efficacy of surgical pain relief. This research will ultimately improve the safety and efficacy of surgical pain relief with opioids by preoperative risk predictions and personalized care with the right dose of the right analgesic for each patient.
Detailed Description
The overall objective is to determine the impact of risk factors on oxycodone and other opioid's adverse postoperative outcomes and to personalize dosing in women having a Cesarean Delivery. For the purpose of this study, immediate adverse postoperative outcomes are characterized as Respiratory Depression (RD), Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV), and inadequate surgical pain relief. Long-term adverse postoperative outcomes are characterized as Chronic Persistent Surgical Pain (CPSP) and Opioid Dependence (OD). The central hypothesis is that specific genetic factors in pain-opioid pathways significantly impact oxycodone and opioid dosing, analgesia, immediate adverse effects (RD and PONV), and long-term adverse outcomes (CPSP and OD). The aims of this project are to validate genetic variants and to develop a test for preoperative risk prediction in lactating mothers and breastfed babies following cesarean delivery (CD). There is an urgent and unmet critical need for reliable technology to improve safety and effectiveness of opioid use in special populations. Aim 1. Validate and identify genetic risk factors associated with postoperative opioid adverse effects, PONV and RD in adult nursing mothers following CD. Investigators hypothesize that with standardized and genotype-blinded perioperative care, specific variants will identify nursing mothers at risk for opioid-induced RD and PONV (primary outcome), OD and severe pain following CD. In addition, genetic variants will identify risk for opioid-induced sedation and adverse effects in breastfed infants. In addition to clinical outcomes, the investigators will collect post-CD cost of care including length of stay. Aim 2. Develop a laboratory-developed test (LDT) at University of Pittsburgh Genome Center (UGC) for preoperative genetic risk prediction and decision support for surgical patients to prevent adverse opioid outcomes. Investigators will develop a minimum viable product (MVP) (CPT code: 81227), a refined multi-gene panel in UGC's CLIA certified laboratory with a robust combinatorial pharmacogenetic decision support to personalize surgical analgesia with precise opioid use in children and adults, and to prevent RD, PONV, CPSP and OD.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Opioid-Induced Adverse Effects-PROPORTION of maternal participants with RD
Time Frame: From time of surgery to time of discharge up to 3 days post-surgery
Respiratory depression (RD) measured as Yes or No in occurrence.
Opioid-Induced Adverse Effects-PROPORTION of maternal participants with PONV
Time Frame: From time of surgery to time of discharge up to 3 days post-surgery
Postoperative Nausea and Vomiting (PONV) Intensity Scale. Participants will be categorized as Clinically relevant (Yes) or Not clinically relevant (No) Nausea and Vomiting from the PONV scale. Clinically important PONV is defined as a total score \>50 at any time throughout the study period.

- Extended Hospital Length of Stay-Neonate(From time of delivery to 72-hours post-delivery)
- Length of prescribed opioid use (For Mothers; in days)(From day of surgery to 12-month post-surgery)
- Neonatal Sedation-- PROPORTION of infants with Sedation(From birth to 7-days post-birth)
- Maternal Post-operative Pain Scores(From time of delivery to 12-month post-surgery)
- Total Maternal Inpatient Opioid Use(From time of surgery to discharge-- up to 3 days post-surgery)
- Neonatal Respiratory Depression--PROPORTION of neonates diagnosed with RD(From birth to time of discharge (up to 3 days post-birth))
- Neonatal Limpness (reporting limpness > 0, or not limp =0)(From birth to 72-hours post-delivery)
- Proportion of Neonates Exhibiting opioid withdrawal(Birth to 3-days postpartum (or discharge from hospital))
