The variables related to painkillers were studied; the most important ones were selected, and several variable crosses were made. After the data were extracted, they were analyzed with Microsoft Excel® using PivotTables to calculate the relative prevalence and percentages of patients with abuse and dependence.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>A total of 1.2 million people were dependent on opioid pain relievers (OPRs) in 2020 versus 1.4 million people in 2018. In 2020, the last OPR used by people with dependence were hydrocodone (27 percent) and oxycodone (21 percent). In the same year, 63 percent of the people with a dependence on OPR had used it without their own prescription to relieve pain (vs 67 percent in 2017). In 2020, 2.5 million people used an OPR without a medical prescription; the main reason (42 percent) was to relieve pain (similar to 2018), followed by wanting to feel good (19 percent vs 16 percent in 2018) and to relax or relieve tension (16 percent). In 2020, 2.2 million people used an OPR differently than prescribed by the doctor; 31 percent of them had also used an OPR without a prescription; and 17 percent were dependent on an OPR in the same year. The most relevant types of abuse were the increase in frequency of use (1.4 million people), increase in the duration of treatment (1.2 million people), and increase in the quantity or dose (1.6 million people).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Abuse and dependence on OPRs during 2019-2020 (affecting 1.24 million people, 0.4 percent of the population over 12 years old) showed an average annual decrease of 3 percent compared to the 2017-2018 period. Similarly, the number of people using OPR without having their own prescription decreased from 5.8 million in 2019 to 4.7 million in 2020. The primary reason people use these medications without a prescription remains the relief of physical pain. The use of OPRs without having an own prescription remains a concern, as 60 percent of the people with dependence have used an OPR without their own prescription. The other major concern is the monitoring of OPR prescriptions. In 2020, over 2.2 million people used the OPRs differently than prescribed, and 28 percent of people with dependence in that year have used an OPR differently than prescribed. Oxycodone and hydrocodone continue to be the molecules more associated with abuse. Dependence associated with oxycodone is directly correlated with its use without prescription.</p>","PeriodicalId":16601,"journal":{"name":"Journal of opioid management","volume":"21 3","pages":"205-222"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144992632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With the continued development of the opioid epidemic and the subsequent rise in opioid use and misuse, it is important to recognize the need for intervention at a public health level. Opioid stewardship programs (OSPs) are promising public health interventions that aim to coordinate safe and effective pain management through evidence-based intervention strategies. This narrative literature review examined the current evidence for implementation of OSPs in emergency departments and acute care hospitals to identify best practices and gaps in evidence. We reviewed publications found through PubMed and Embase, and articles were selected for inclusion after being evaluated through the inclusion criteria. One hundred and ninety-six articles were first found via the database search, and a final 24 articles were included in the sample for full review. The results indicated that all but two studies were published within the last 4 years, and one study mentioned a rural location. Most of the studies were pre- and post-OSP implementation studies. On average, the studies implemented four of the 11 total OSP strategies of interest. Twenty-two studies included information on care coordination, with the most prevalent effect being a decrease in total morphine milligram equivalents being prescribed at discharge. Nine studies included data on patient safety measures, including adverse events such as return emergency room visits, need for naloxone administration, and increase in post-operative clinic visits. This narrative review provides us with a preliminary understanding of OSP implementation in hospital settings and provides evidence that they are feasible and accepted with a wide variety of implementation interventions and strategies. It also demonstrates a gap in the literature regarding implementation in rural settings and with some specific implementation strategies.</p>","PeriodicalId":16601,"journal":{"name":"Journal of opioid management","volume":"21 3","pages":"261-275"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144992601","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
