Chronic Gabapentinoid Use and Lumbar Fusion Outcomes
Chronic preoperative use of GPs may lead to inferior outcomes when compared with GP-naive patients, and this is significantly accentuated when taken concurrently with opioids. Patients who are using both GPs and opioids had the worst results for almost every outcome measure. Given the significantly worse surgical outcomes documented in this study, concurrent use with opioids should be avoided.
