Trends in Use of Prescribed Opioids in Incident and Prevalent Patients With Ulcerative Colitis: A Nationwide Study in Sweden
In this nationwide register-based study, adults with UC had higher prescribed opioid use within two years before and up to five years after first UC diagnosis compared with reference individuals. However, adults with prevalent UC (and reference individuals) had a declining temporal opioid use trend during 2006-2022.
