Preoperative Opioid Misuse Associations With Delayed Opioid Cessation, Pain, and Negative Affect After Spine Surgery
Preoperative opioid misuse is a significant risk factor for delayed opioid cessation even after adjusting for preoperative opioid use, and is associated with a transient normalization of anxiety and depressive symptoms with a rebound 3 months following spine surgery. Targeted screening and risk reduction strategies are needed for patients reporting preoperative opioid misuse before spine surgery.
