The study period was March 2015 to September 2017, and only patients with a primary diagnosis of gout were included. If a patient was seen multiple times, only the first encounter was included. For these patients, we estimated the frequency, dose, and duration of opioids prescribed. Using multivariable logistic regression, we ascertained the factors associated with increased odds of opioid prescription at discharge among patients with acute gout.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the 456 patients, 129 (28.3%) received opioids at discharge (~80% were new patients).
