This study investigated patient- and procedure-specific risk factors for additional postoperative opioid rescue prescriptions following ambulatory cubital tunnel surgery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A retrospective review was performed of patients who underwent cubital tunnel surgery at 2 academic medical centers between June 1, 2015 and March 1, 2020. Patient demographics, comorbidities, prior opioid history, and surgical variables were recorded. The primary outcome was postoperative rescue opioid prescription. Univariate and bivariate statistical analyses were performed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Two hundred seventy-four patients were included, of whom 171 (62%) underwent in situ ulnar nerve decompression and 103 (38%) underwent ulnar nerve decompression with anterior transposition. The median postoperative opioid prescription amount was 90 morphine equivalent units (MEU) for the total cohort, 77.5 MEU for in situ ulnar nerve decompression, and 112.5 MEU for ulnar nerve decompression with transposition. Twenty-two patients (8%) required additional rescue opioid prescriptions postoperatively. Female sex, fibromyalgia, chronic opioid use, chronic pain diagnosis, and recent opioid were associated with the need for additional postoperative rescue opioid prescriptions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>While most patients do not require additional rescue opioid prescriptions after cubital tunnel surgery, chronic pain patients and patients with pain sensitivity syndromes are at risk for requiring additional rescue opioid prescriptions. For these high-risk patients, preoperative collaboration of a multidisciplinary team may be beneficial for developing a perioperative pain management plan that is both safe and effective.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/15589447241232015","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,15]],"date-time":"2024-02-15T07:11:40Z","timestamp":1707981100000},"page":"877-884","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Risk Factors for Rescue Opioid Prescription After Cubital Tunnel Surgery"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3149-7876","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carew","family":"Giberson-Chen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Harvard Combined Orthopaedic Residency Program, Harvard Affiliated Hospitals, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christina","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Harvard Combined Orthopaedic Residency Program, Harvard Affiliated Hospitals, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5325-3461","authenticated-orcid":false,"suffix":"Jr","given":"Phillip","family":"Grisdela","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Harvard Combined Orthopaedic Residency Program, Harvard Affiliated Hospitals, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Harvard Combined Orthopaedic Residency Program, Harvard Affiliated Hospitals, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zina","family":"Model","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Harvard Combined Orthopaedic Residency Program, Harvard Affiliated Hospitals, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amy","family":"Steele","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Harvard Combined Orthopaedic Residency Program, Harvard Affiliated Hospitals, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Philip","family":"Blazar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hand and Upper Extremity Service, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Brandon E.","family":"Earp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hand and Upper Extremity Service, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dafang","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hand and Upper Extremity Service, Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention National Center for Health Statistics.
