We designed a prospective feasibility study to assess the 5x-multiplier (5x) calculation (eg, 3 pills in last 24 hours × 5 = 15) to standardize discharge opioid prescriptions compared to usual care.
Faculty-based surgical teams volunteered for either 5x or usual care arms. Patients undergoing inpatient (≥ 48 hours) surgery and discharged by surgical teams were included. The primary end point was discharge oral morphine equivalents. Secondary end points were opioid-free discharges and 30-day refill rates.
Median last 24-hour oral morphine equivalents was similar between arms (7.5 mg 5x vs 10 mg usual care, P = .830). Median discharge oral morphine equivalents were less in the 5x arm (50 mg 5x vs 75 mg usual care, P < .001). Opioid-free discharges included 33.5% 5x vs 18.0% usual care arm patients (P < .001). Thirty-day refill rates were similar (15.3% 5x vs 16.5% usual care, P = .742).
The 5x-multiplier was associated with reduced opioid prescriptions without increased refills and can be feasibly implemented across a diverse surgical practice.
我们设计了一项前瞻性可行性研究,以评估5倍乘数(5x)计算方法(例如,过去24小时内服用3片药×5 = 15)与常规护理相比,用于标准化出院时阿片类药物处方的效果。
以教员为基础的外科团队自愿参与5x组或常规护理组。纳入由外科团队进行住院手术(≥48小时)并出院的患者。主要终点是出院时口服吗啡当量。次要终点是无阿片类药物出院率和30天再填充率。
两组之间过去24小时口服吗啡当量中位数相似(5x组为7.5mg,常规护理组为10mg,P = 0.830)。5x组出院时口服吗啡当量中位数较低(5x组为50mg,常规护理组为75mg,P <0.001)。无阿片类药物出院的患者中,5x组占33.5%,常规护理组占18.0%(P <0.001)。30天再填充率相似(5x组为15.3%,常规护理组为16.5%,P = 0.742)。
5倍乘数与减少阿片类药物处方相关,且再填充率未增加,并且可以在不同的外科实践中切实可行地实施。
