This study reviewed preoperative and postoperative narcotic prescriptions for 438 consecutive TJA patients using the state's mandatory opioid prescription monitoring program. Patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty, were aged 65 or older, and had Medicare coverage were more likely to receive fewer post-discharge narcotic refills. Patients with higher satisfaction tended to consume less overall opioids when needing a refill.
Background: Patient satisfaction has become an important metric for total joint arthroplasty (TJA) used to reimburse hospitals. Despite ubiquitous narcotic use for post-TJA pain control, there is little understanding regarding patient factors associated with obtaining opioid refills and associations with patient satisfaction. Methods: Using our state's mandatory opioid prescription monitoring program, we reviewed preoperative and postoperative narcotic prescriptions filled for 438 consecutive TJA patients. Subjects were divided into 3 groups based on the number of post-TJA narcotic refills obtained (0, 1, or >1), and logistic regression analysis was conducted comparing demographics, surgical factors, and satisfaction with pain control. Results: One hundred twenty-five patients (25.8%) did not consume preoperative opioids and received no postoperative refills. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients (P = .0004), subjects >= 65 years (P = .0057), and Medicare patients (P = .0058) had significantly higher rates of 0 postdischarge refills. THA recipients had 268% increased odds of not receiving a refill narcotic (adjusted odds ratio = 0.373; 95% confidence interval, 0.224- 0.622). Every 100-morphine milligram equivalent (MME) increase in presurgery use led to a 16% increase in odds of needing >1 opioid refill (adjusted odds ratio = 1.161; 95% confidence interval, 1.085-1.242). Subjects who noted higher satisfaction consumed less overall opioids when receiving a refill (436 vs 1119 MMEs, P = .021). Conclusion: Subjects who received fewer narcotic prescriptions and overall MMEs demonstrated higher rates of satisfaction with early pain control. Our results are consistent with other studies in showing that increased preoperative narcotic use portends higher rates of postoperative refills. There appears to be a subset of THA patients >65 years of age who may be candidates for opioid-sparing analgesia. (C) 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
