In a new research letter in the
New England Journal of Medicine, a team from the
Michigan Opioid Prescribing Engagement Network reports the results of a collaborative effort to help surgical teams follow evidence-based
opioid prescribing guidelines developed at the University of Michigan.
In just one year, teams at 43 hospitals across the state reduced the number of opioid pills they prescribed to patients having nine common operations by nearly one-third, from an average of 26 per patient to an average of 18, without causing patients to feel more pain or less satisfied with their surgical experience.

Having a filled opioid prescription wasn't associated with a difference in risk of return visits for pain or dehydration, the study found, but it was linked to an increased risk of constipation and in at least one case, an opioid overdose.
