Topic overview
In 2020, the American Pediatric Surgical Association (APSA) released evidence-based recommendations for opioid prescribing after surgery, grouping procedures into opioid-free recovery (OFR) and opioid-free recovery possible (OFRP). This study investigated rates and associated factors of opioids prescribing at discharge after common general surgery procedures based on APSA recommendations.
