Concurrent use of prescription gabapentinoids with opioids and risk for fall-related injury among older US Medicare beneficiaries with chronic noncancer pain: A population-based cohort study

PLOS Medicine

Cheng Chen, et al.

2022-03-01

Gabapentinoids are increasingly prescribed to manage chronic noncancer pain (CNCP) in older adults. When used concurrently with opioids, gabapentinoids may potentiate central nervous system (CNS) depression and increase the risks for fall. We aimed to investigate whether concurrent use of gabapentinoids with opioids compared with use of opioids alone is associated with an increased risk of fall-related injury among older adults with CNCP.

Aligning Patient Acuity With Resource Intensity After Major Surgery

Annals of Surgery

Tyler J. Loftus

2022-02-01

Develop unifying definitions and paradigms for data-driven methods to augment postoperative resource intensity decisions. Postoperative level-of-care assignments and frequency of vital sign and laboratory measurements (ie, resource intensity) should align with patient acuity. Effective, data-driven decision-support platforms could improve value of care for millions of patients annually, but their development is hindered by the lack of salient definitions and paradigms.

Concurrent Use of Prescription Opioids and Gabapentinoids in Older Adults

American Journal of Preventative Medicine

Cheng Chen, et al.

2021-11-19

Concurrent use of prescription opioids with gabapentinoids may pose risks of serious drug interactions. Yet, little is known about the trends in and patient characteristics associated with concurrent opioid–gabapentinoid use among older Medicare opioid users with chronic noncancer pain.
