Abstract

BACKGROUND: A pilot study conducted at our institution showed that a significant amount of prescribed postoperative opioids is left unused with the potential for diversion and misuse.
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of provider- and patient-targeted educational interventions on postoperative opioid prescription and use following anorectal procedures.
DESIGN: Patients were enrolled on July 2019 through March 2020 after implementing educational interventions (study) and were compared with the pilot study group (control) enrolled on August 2018 through May 2019. A telephone survey was conducted 1 week postoperatively. SETTINGS: This study was conducted at a 600-bed, safety-net hospital in southern California. PATIENTS: Adult patients undergoing ambulatory anorectal procedures were included. Patients who had undergone an examination under anesthesia, had been incarcerated, and had used opioids preoperatively were excluded.
INTERVENTIONS: Educational interventions were developed based on the pilot study results. Providers received education on recommended opioid prescription quantities and a multimodal pain regimen. Standardized patient education infographics were distributed to patients pre- and postoperatively. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The primary outcomes measured were total opioid prescribed, total opioid consumed, pain control satisfaction levels, and the need for additional opioid prescription.
RESULTS: A total of 104 of 122 (85%) patients enrolled responded to the survey and were compared with the 112 patients included in the control group. Despite similar demographics, the study cohort was prescribed fewer milligram morphine equivalents (78.8 ± 11.3 vs 294.0 ± 33.1, p < 0.001), consumed fewer milligram morphine equivalents (23.0 ± 28.0 vs 57.1 ± 45.8, p < 0.001), and had a higher rate of nonopioid medication use (72% vs 10%, p < 0.001). The 2 groups had similar pain control satisfaction levels (4.1 ± 1.3 vs 3.9 ± 1.1 out of 5, p = 0.12) and an additional opioid prescription requirement (5% vs 4%, p = 1.0). LIMITATIONS: This study was limited by its single-center experience with specific patient population characteristics.
CONCLUSION: Educational interventions emphasizing evidence-based recommended opioid prescription quantities and regimented multimodal pain regimens are effective in decreasing excessive opioid prescribing and use without compromising satisfactory pain control in patients undergoing ambulatory anorectal procedures.

REDUCCIN DE LA SOBREPRESCRIPCIN Y EL USO DE OPIOIDES DESPUS DE UNA INTERVENCIN EDUCATIVA ESTANDARIZADA UNA ENCUESTA DE LAS EXPERIENCIAS EN PACIENTES POSTOPERADOS DE PROCEDIMIENTOS ANORRECTALES: ANTECEDENTES:Un estudio piloto realizado en nuestra institución mostró que una cantidad significativa de opioides posoperatorios recetados no se usa, con potencial de desvío y uso indebido.OBJETIVO:Evaluar el impacto de las intervenciones educativas dirigidas al paciente y al proveedor sobre la prescripción y el uso de opioides posoperatorios después de procedimientos anorrectales.DISEÑO:Los pacientes se incluyeron entre julio de 2019 y marzo de 2020 después de implementar intervenciones educativas (estudio) y se compararon con el grupo de estudio piloto (control) inscrito entre agosto de 2018 y mayo de 2019. Se realizó una encuesta telefónica una semana después de la cirugía.ENTORNO CLÍNICO:Hospital de 600 camas en el sur de California.PACIENTES:Pacientes adultos sometidos a procedimientos anorrectales ambulatorios. Los criterios de exclusión fueron pacientes que recibieron un examen bajo anestesia, pacientes encarcelados y uso preoperatorio de opioides.INTERVENCIONES:Se desarrollaron intervenciones educativas basadas en los resultados del estudio piloto. Los proveedores recibieron educación sobre las cantidades recomendadas de opioides recetados y un régimen multimodal para el dolor. Se distribuyeron infografías estandarizadas de educación para el paciente antes y después de la operación.PRINCIPALES MEDIDAS DE RESULTADO:Opioide total prescrito, opioide total consumido, niveles de satisfacción del control del dolor y necesidad de prescripción adicional de opioides.RESULTADOS:Un total de 104 de 122 (85%) pacientes inscritos respondieron a la encuesta y se compararon con los 112 pacientes incluidos en el grupo de control. A pesar de una demografía similar, a la cohorte del estudio se le prescribió menos miligramos de equivalente de morfina (MME) (78,8 ± 11,3 frente a 294,0 ± 33,1, p <0,001), consumió menos MME (23,0 ± 28,0 frente a 57,1 ± 45,8, p <0,001) y presentaron una mayor tasa de uso de medicamentos no opioides (72% vs 10%, p <0,001). Los dos grupos tenían niveles similares de satisfacción del control del dolor (4,1 ± 1,3 frente a 3,9 ± 1,1 de 5, p = 0,12) y la necesidad de prescripción de opioides adicionales (5% frente a 4%, p = 1,0).LIMITACIONES:Experiencia en un solo centro con características específicas de la población de pacientes.CONCLUSIÓN:Las intervenciones educativas que enfatizan las cantidades recomendadas de prescripción de opioides basadas en la evidencia y los regímenes de dolor multimodales reglamentados son efectivas para disminuir la prescripción y el uso excesivos de opioides sin comprometer el control satisfactorio del dolor en pacientes sometidos a procedimientos anorrectales ambulatorios.
