简要总结
The primary objective of this study is to better understand post-discharge utilization of prescribed opioid analgesic medications following surgery. A secondary objective of this study is to gain a better understanding of prevailing modes of storage for opioid medications.
详细描述
Hypothesis:
Prescription of medications for analgesia after surgery frequently occurs on an empiric rather than individualized basis. The investigator will hypothesize that prescribed opioid medications for analgesia after discharge from the hospital / surgery center are frequently not taken.
Aims:
i) The descriptive first aim of this study is to define self-reported usage patterns of opioid analgesic medications at home following surgery.
ii) The descriptive second aim of this study is to define prevailing modes of storage and/or disposal for opioid medications prescribed to patients after hospital discharge following surgery.
