Obesity and the Risk of Incident Chronic Opioid Use in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Joshua F. Baker et al.

Summary: This study found that obese patients with rheumatoid arthritis have a higher rate of incident chronic opioid use. Higher BMI is associated with an increased risk of chronic opioid use, with severe obesity having a higher risk for overall use and strong opioid use. The association between obesity and opioid use may be partially explained by comorbidity, pain, and disability.

Opioid Prescribing Among Outpatients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Yinan Huang et al.

Summary: One in four adult RA visits resulted in opioid prescriptions, with the number of visits more than doubling during the study period. Factors associated with increased likelihood of receiving opioid prescriptions in RA included age group of 50-64 years, being Hispanic or Latino, visiting a primary physician, and the prescription of muscle relaxants, acetaminophen, antidepressants, and glucocorticoids. Understanding these prescribing practices can help develop strategies for safe opioid prescribing practices in RA.
