Longitudinal Pain Medication Use Among US Older Adults After a Hip Fracture
Most older adults received pain medication after hip fracture, and multimodal opioid-containing regimens were most common. Most individuals who received a gabapentinoid immediately after SNF admission were co-prescribed an opioid. These findings suggest a need for closer medication management in SNFs to ensure adequate pain control after hip fracture while minimizing potentially harmful analgesic combinations.
