Trends in Use of Medications for Opioid Use Disorder among Commercially Insured U.S. Surgical Patients, 2016 to 2022
In this cohort study of surgical procedures among privately insured U.S. adults, the prevalence of MOUD use increased between 2016 and 2022, highlighting the importance of developing evidence-based guidelines for perioperative management of these patients. The high rates of MOUD use in common orthopedic procedures suggest that these guidelines may be particularly relevant to the practice of orthopedic surgeons.
