摘要

背景：处方阿片类药物在美国的流行有充分的记录，最近的措施降低了该国的处方率。有证据表明，最近其他国家的阿片类药物处方也在增加。目的：本论文旨在比较英国和美国阿片类药物处方的趋势。方法：使用公开的政府处方数据和人口统计数据计算英国和美国每100名人口的处方率趋势。结果：处方率正在趋同。在2012年美国疫情高峰期，每100人中有81.3张处方，但到2020年已降至43.3张。2016年，英格兰的处方量达到峰值，为每100人43.2张，但仅略有下降，因此2020年每100人有40.9张处方。结论：数据表明，英国的阿片类药物处方水平现在与美国相似。尽管最近有所下降，但这两个国家的处方水平仍然很高。这表明有必要采取进一步措施，防止过度处方，并支持那些从这些药物中受益的人。

A comparison of opioid prescription trends in England and the United States from 2008 to 2020.

Background: The prescription opioid epidemic in the United States (US) is well documented, and recent measures have reduced prescribing rates in that country. Evidence suggests opioid prescriptions have been rising recently in other countries too.

Objective: The current paper aimed to compare trends in opioid prescribing in England and the US.

Methods: Trends in rates of prescriptions per 100 members of the population were calculated for England and the US using publicly available government data on prescriptions and population statistics.

Results: Rates of prescribing are converging. At the peak of the US epidemic in 2012, there were 81.3 prescriptions per 100 people, but this had fallen to 43.3 by 2020. Prescribing peaked in England in 2016 at 43.2 prescriptions per 100 people, but has fallen only slightly, so that in 2020 there were 40.9 prescriptions per 100 people.

Conclusion: The data indicate that levels of opioid prescribing in England are now similar to those in the US. They remain high in both countries, despite recent falls. This suggests the need for further measures to prevent over-prescribing and to support people who would benefit from withdrawing from these drugs.

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Risk and Safety in Medicine is concerned with rendering the practice of medicine as safe as it can be; that involves promoting the highest possible quality of care, but also examining how those risks which are inevitable can be contained and managed. This is not exclusively a drugs journal. Recently it was decided to include in the subtitle of the journal three items to better indicate the scope of the journal, i.e. patient safety, pharmacovigilance and liability and the Editorial Board was adjusted accordingly. For each of these sections an Associate Editor was invited. We especially want to emphasize patient safety.
