BackgroundSevere acute pain is still commonly treated with opioid analgesics in the United States, but this practice could prolong the duration of pain.ObjectivesEstimate the risk of experiencing persistent pain after opioid analgesic use after emergency department (ED) discharge among patients with suspected urolithiasis.MethodsWe analyzed data collected for a longitudinal, multicenter clinical trial of ED patients with suspected urolithiasis. We constructed multilevel models to estimate the odds ratios (ORs) of reporting pain at 3, 7, 30, or 90 days after ED discharge, using multiple imputation to account for missing outcome data. We controlled for clinical, demographic, and institutional factors and used weighting to account for the propensity to be prescribed an opioid analgesic at ED discharge.ResultsAmong 2413 adult ED patients with suspected urolithiasis, 62% reported persistent pain 3 days after discharge. Participants prescribed an opioid analgesic at discharge were OR 2.51 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.82-3.46) more likely to report persistent pain than those without a prescription. Those who reported using opioid analgesics 3 days after discharge were OR 2.24 (95% CI 1.77-2.84) more likely to report pain at day 7 than those not using opioid analgesics at day 3, and those using opioid analgesics at day 30 had OR 3.25 (95% CI 1.96-5.40) greater odds of pain at day 90.ConclusionsOpioid analgesic prescription doubled the odds of persistent pain among ED patients with suspected urolithiasis. Limiting opioid analgesic prescribing at ED discharge for these patients might prevent persistent pain in addition to limiting access to these medications.

Non-pharmaceutical fentanyl and its analogs have driven striking increases in opioid-associated overdose deaths. These highly potent opioids can be found at low concentrations in biological specimens. Little is known regarding the concentrations of these substances among survivors of non-fatal overdoses. In a locale where fentanyl is responsible for the majority of non-fatal opioid overdoses, we compared the concentration of fentanyl in blood to naloxone dosing in the presence and absence of a concurrent sedative-hypnotic exposure. In this pilot study, we enrolled adult patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) who: (1) arrived after an overdose requiring naloxone for the reversal of respiratory depression; and (2) who required venipuncture or intravenous access as part of their clinical care. Blood specimens (n = 20) underwent comprehensive toxicology testing, including the quantitation of fentanyl, fentanyl analogs, and naloxone, as well as the detection of common sedative-hypnotics and a wide range of other illicit and pharmaceutical substances. We then compared fentanyl concentrations to naloxone dosing in participants with and without a concomitant sedative-hypnotic exposure. Nineteen of twenty participants (95%) were exposed to fentanyl prior to their overdose; the remaining participant tested positive for heroin metabolites. No participants reported pharmaceutical fentanyl use. Fentanyl analogs ��� acetylfentanyl or carfentanil ��� were present in three specimens. In 11 cases, fentanyl and its metabolites were the only opioids identified. Among the fentanyl-exposed, blood concentrations ranged from
