Risks for opioid abuse and dependence among recipients of chronic opioid therapy: Results from the TROUP Study

TL;DR: Characteristics of the patients and of the opioid therapy itself are associated with the risk of abuse and dependence, and non-modifiable risk factors for opioid abuse/dependence that may be useful for risk stratification when considering prescribing opioids are estimated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risks for possible and probable opioid misuse among recipients of chronic opioid therapy in commercial and medicaid insurance plans: The TROUP Study.

TL;DR: The consistency of the findings across diverse patient populations and the varying levels of misuse suggest that these results will generalize broadly, but await confirmation in other studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trends in use of opioids for chronic noncancer pain among individuals with mental health and substance use disorders: the TROUP study.

TL;DR: Chronic use of prescription opioids for NCPC is much higher and growing faster in patients with MH and SUDs than in those without these diagnoses, and Clinicians should monitor the use of prescriptions in these vulnerable groups to determine whether opioids are substituting for or interfering with appropriate MH and substance abuse treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI
