Patients undergoing open or minimally invasive radical cystectomy, radical or partial nephrectomy, and radical prostatectomy were sorted into the control group (usual opioids), the lead-in group (reduced opioids), and the NOPIOIDS group (no opioid prescriptions).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Interventions<\/jats:title>\n The NOPIOIDS group received a preadmission educational handout, postdischarge instructions for using nonopioid analgesics, and no routine opioid prescriptions. The lead-in group received a postdischarge instruction sheet and reduced opioid prescriptions at prescribers\u2019 discretion. The control group received opioid prescriptions at prescribers\u2019 discretion.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Main Outcomes and Measures<\/jats:title>\n Primary outcome measures included rate and dose of opioid prescriptions at discharge and for 30 days postdischarge. Additional outcome measures included patient-reported pain and satisfaction level, unplanned health care utilization, and postoperative complications.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Of 647 opioid-naive patients (mean [SD] age, 63.6 [10.0] years; 478 [73.9%] male; 586 [90.6%] White), the rate of opioid prescriptions at discharge for the control, the lead-in, and the NOPIOIDS groups was 80.9% (157 of 194), 57.9% (55 of 95), and 2.2% (8 of 358) (Kruskal-Wallis test of medians:\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001), and the overall median (IQR) tablets prescribed was 14 (10-20), 4 (0-5.3), and 0 (0-0) per patient in the control, lead-in, and NOPIOIDS groups, respectively (Kruskal-Wallis test of medians:\n P<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009&amp;lt;\u2009.001). In the NOPIOIDS group, median and mean opioid dose was 0 tablets for all procedure types, with the exception of kidney procedures (mean [SD], 0.5 [1.7] tablets). Patient-reported pain surveys were received from 358 patients (72.6%) in the NOPIOIDS group, demonstrating low pain scores (mean [SD], 2.5 [0.86]) and high satisfaction scores (mean [SD], 86.6 [3.8]). There was no increase in postoperative complications in the group with no opioid prescriptions.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>\n This perioperative protocol, with emphasis on nonopioid alternatives and patient instructions, may be safe and effective in nearly eliminating the need for opioid prescriptions after major abdominopelvic cancer surgery without adversely affecting pain control, complications, or recovery.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1001\/jamasurg.2022.7652","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,2,8]],"date-time":"2023-02-08T11:02:07Z","timestamp":1675854127000},"page":"378","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Implementation and Assessment of No Opioid Prescription Strategy at Discharge After Major Urologic Cancer Surgery"],"prefix":"10.1001","volume":"158","author":[{"given":"Badar M.","family":"Mian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Albany Medical Center, Albany, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zorawar","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Albany Medical Center, Albany, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kevin","family":"Carnes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Albany Medical Center, Albany, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leanne","family":"Lorenz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, Albany Medical Center, Albany, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paul","family":"Feustel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Albany Medical Center, Albany, New York"},{"name":"Department of Neuroscience and Experimental Therapeutics, Albany Medical Center, Albany, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"suffix":"Jr","given":"Ronald P.","family":"Kaufman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Albany Medical Center, Albany, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Svetlana","family":"Avulova","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Albany Medical Center, Albany, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Adrien","family":"Bernstein","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Urology, Albany Medical Center, Albany, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Theodore","family":"Cangero","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Services, Albany Medical Center, Albany, New York"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hugh A.
