Septoplasty opioid prescription trends following the publication of opioid prescribing clinical practice guidelines

There was an associated decrease in opioid prescribing for septoplasty post-publication. However, this decrease was not observed immediately after the guideline publication, and rate of change before and after the publication was similar. Non-opioid prescription did not have an immediate increase, but the trend gradually increased in the post-publication period. This was a significant change from the pre-publication period.
