Determine association between Food and Drug Administration (FDA) black box warning against opioid use in this population and pain-related return visit rates.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>This was a single-institution retrospective cohort study of pediatric patients who underwent T + A between April 2012 and December 2015 and had return visits to the emergency department or urgent care center. Data were obtained from the hospital electronic warehouse using International Classification of Diseases-9\/10 procedure codes. Odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for return visits were calculated. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to measure association between opioid prescriptions and return visit rates as well as FDA warning and return visit rates adjusting for confounders.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>There were 4778 patients who underwent T + A, median age, 5 years. Of these, 752 (15.7%) had return visits. Pain-related return visits were higher in patients who received opioid prescriptions (adjusted OR, 1.31; 95% CI, 1.09\u20131.57). After FDA warning, opioids were prescribed at a lower rate (47.9%) compared with previous (98.6%) (OR, 0.01; 95% CI, 0.008\u20130.02). Pain-related return visits were lower after FDA warning (OR, 0.73; 95% CI, 0.61\u20130.87). Steroid prescription rate increased after FDA warning (OR, 415; 95% CI, 197\u2013874).<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Opioid prescriptions were associated with higher pain-related return visits after T + A, whereas issuance of FDA black box warning against codeine use was associated with lower pain-related return visits. Our data suggest that the black box warning potentially had unintended benefits in pain management and health care usage.<\/jats:p>\n
