Patients were 47.4% White, 26.3% with LEP, 49.6% male, and 50.4% female. Asian (OR 0.75, 95% CI 0.70\u20130.80), Latinx (OR 0.90, 95% CI 0.83\u20130.99), and Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander (OR 0.77, 95% CI 0.64\u20130.93) patients had lower odds of a numeric assessment, compared with White patients. Patients with LEP (OR 0.70, 95% CI 0.66\u20130.74) had lower odds of a numeric assessment, compared with English\u2010speaking patients. Patients with dementia, hearing impairment, patients 75+, and at end\u2010of\u2010life were all less likely to receive a numeric assessment. Compared with White patients (86\u2009MME, 95% CI 77\u201396), Asian patients (55\u2009MME, 95% CI 46\u201365) received fewer opioids.
