Opioid Prescribing and Health Outcomes in Opioid Naive Patients in Indiana: Analysis of A Statewide Health Information Exchange DatabaseSariya Udayachalerm (9183161) 29 July 2020 (has links)
<p>Widespread use of prescription opioids has been a major
public health concern since 1999. Many consequences are associated with the
problem, such as opioid misuse, abuse, and drug overdose deaths. Opioids are
not the only medications involved with drug overdose deaths. Due to stricter
control of prescription opioids, those who misused opioids are associated with
initiation of another illicit drug abuse. This results in increased drug
overdose death involving heroin and semisynthetic/synthetic opioids. Another
risk factor for increased overdose death is concurrent use of opioids with
other central nervous system (CNS) depressants and some anticonvulsants.
Concurrent use of opioids and benzodiazepine, z-drugs (zolpidem and zaleplon),
gabapentin, and/or pregabalin is associated with increased risk of respiratory
depression and drug overdose death. To combat problematic opioid use, many
mitigation strategies were introduced. However, opioid-related problems remain.</p>
