结局指标
主要结局
Number of Doses in the Initial Discharge Opioid Prescription
时间窗: Day of discharge, approximately 1 day
Doses are defined as the maximum number of instances a patient could take opioids if they took them as prescribed. Number of doses are calculated from the electronic health record.
Proportion of Participants Who Had at Least One Opioid Prescription Refill From University of Michigan During the Two Weeks After Surgery
时间窗: Day 14
Doses are defined as the maximum number of instances a patient could take opioids if they took them as prescribed. Number of doses are calculated from the electronic health record.
Proportion of Patients for Whom the Number of Doses in the Discharge Opioid Prescription Equals the Number of Doses in the New Default Settings
时间窗: Day of discharge, approximately 1 day
The new default settings called for 12 doses in the discharge prescription. This measure assesses the proportion of participants with 12 doses in the discharge prescription, regardless of which arm they were in. Doses are defined as the maximum number of instances a patient could take opioids if they took them as prescribed. Number of doses are calculated from the electronic health record.
Proportion of Patients With at Least One Emergency Department and/or Hospitalization at University of Michigan for Pain During the Two Weeks After Surgery
时间窗: Day 14
Detailed in electronic health record
Proportion of Patients Who Visited or Saw a University of Michigan Provider Due to Pain During the Two Weeks After Surgery
时间窗: Day 14
Detailed in electronic health record. Excludes emergency department visits and hospitalizations for pain.
