Abstract
Background: Opioids are used to treat pain in chronic pancreatitis (CP), but little is known about current use patterns. The aims of this study were to characterize the utilization of opioids, and associations with clinical characteristics in adult patients with CP.
Methods: This cross-sectional analysis utilized baseline data from participants with definite CP enrolled in a cohort study in the US (PROCEED). Data on demographics, pain medication use, health care utilization, disability, and pain patterns were systematically collected in case report forms while quality of life (QOL) was assessed with patient-reported outcome instruments. Opioid use was classified according to strength (weak or strong) and frequency (scheduled or as-needed).
Results: A total of 681 participants (n=364, 53% male) were included: 299 (44%) were current opioid users (22% only weak opioids and 22% at least one strong opioid). Increasing frequency and severity of pain was associated with increase of weak, strong, as-needed, or scheduled opioids. Neuromodulators were used by ∼40% of participants; increasing use was associated with increasing frequency and severity of pain. On multivariate analysis, independent predictors associated with strength and frequency of current opioid use were pain patterns (ORs 1.84-8.32 and ORs 1.92-8.52, respectively, p<0.001) and prior celiac plexus block (OR 3.54, 95% CI 1.82-6.87) and (OR 3.42, 95% CI 1.76-6.64), respectively. Participants using opioids had higher prevalence of disability, healthcare utilization and poorer QOL.
Conclusions: Opioid use in CP is common and associated with increased pain severity and constancy. These data provide foundational estimates for future trials that can elucidate the complex interactions between patient factors, pain, and interventions.
期刊介绍:
Clinical and Translational Gastroenterology (CTG), published on behalf of the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG), is a peer-reviewed open access online journal dedicated to innovative clinical work in the field of gastroenterology and hepatology. CTG hopes to fulfill an unmet need for clinicians and scientists by welcoming novel cohort studies, early-phase clinical trials, qualitative and quantitative epidemiologic research, hypothesis-generating research, studies of novel mechanisms and methodologies including public health interventions, and integration of approaches across organs and disciplines. CTG also welcomes hypothesis-generating small studies, methods papers, and translational research with clear applications to human physiology or disease.
