Post‐injury use of opioid analgesics in patients with traumatic injury: A registry‐based study
This large registry-based study adds to the body of knowledge on opioid use beyond in-hospital care in patients having sustained traumatic injury, a field which is scarcely investigated and not yet fully understood. It suggests that both previous drug therapy and the nature of opioid treatment initiation may affect outcome. This will help guide clinicians in selecting the appropriate pain management in this patient group.
