Impact of opioid-free analgesia on pain severity and patient satisfaction after discharge from surgery: multispecialty, prospective cohort study in 25 countries
➡️https://t.co/uM2eDisdIc

This international, multicentre, prospective cohort study of 4273 patients from 25 countries undergoing common acute and elective general surgical, urological, gynaecological, and orthopaedic procedures found that opioid prescription on discharge was not associated with decreased pain or increased satisfaction with analgesia after discharge.
Although opioid prescribing varied dramatically between high-income and low- and middle-income countries, patient-reported outcomes did not.

Great work by TASMAN Collaborative @williamxu_98

💊Opioids at discharge after surgery:
🚫No difference in satisfaction BUT
⏫Risk of representations for side effects 🤢

1st paper from the #OPERAS study has been published @BJSurgery!
This global study adds to growing evidence for opioid-free analgesia on discharge

Excellent delivery of more rich #OPERAS data by the talented @AyaBasam 🎉

➡️Pain and QoL benefits of opioids overstated?
➡️Harms and risk of adverse events higher!

We asked patients what they experienced - strong work by @TASMANCollab! #RACS2023

[William Xu @williamxu_98]

Exceptional mahi from all @TASMANCollab members and collaborators on #OPERAS. Huge congrats to @chrisvarghese98 for taking out the @AmCollSurgeons Scientific Forum prize 🎉🎉! Strength to strength for collaborative research
