ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To assess the risk of persistent opioid use following various urologic procedures in adolescents and young adults. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
The TriNetX LLC Diamond Network was queried for patients aged 13-21years who underwent pyeloplasty, hypospadias repair, inguinal hernia repair, inguinal orchiopexy, hydrocelectomy, or circumcision. Cohorts of patients prescribed and not prescribed postoperative opioids were created and propensity-matched for age, race/ethnicity, psychiatric diagnoses, and preoperative pain diagnoses. The primary outcome was new persistent opioid use, defined as new opioid use 3-9months after index procedure without another surgery requiring anesthesia during the postoperative timeframe.RESULTS:
Of 32,789 patients identified, 66.0% received a postoperative opioid prescription. After propensity score matching for each procedure, 18,416 patients were included 197 for pyeloplasty, 469 for hypospadias repair, 1818 for inguinal hernia repair, 2664 for inguinal orchiopexy, 534 for hydrocelectomy, and 3526 for circumcision. Overall, 0.41% of patients who did not receive postoperative opioids developed new persistent opioid use, whereas 1.69% of patients who received postoperative opioids developed new persistent opioid use (P < .05). Patients prescribed postoperative opioids had statistically higher odds of developing new persistent opioid use for hypospadias repair (RR 17.0; 95% CI 2.27-127.2), inguinal orchiopexy (RR 3.46; 95% CI 1.87-6.4), inguinal hernia repair (RR 2.18; 95% CI 1.07-4.44), and circumcision (RR 4.83; 95% CI 2.60-8.98).CONCLUSION:
The use of postoperative opioids after urological procedures in adolescents and young adults is associated with a significant risk of developing new persistent opioid use.
