Predictors of attrition in an interdisciplinary pain management program.

Conclusions/Implications: Because findings are limited by sample and design characteristics, they require replication yet offer novel hypotheses for identifying patients at risk of attrition. Specifically, patients with preintervention opioid use (contrasted with opioid dependence) may particularly benefit from an IPP. Patients at highest risk for early dropout can be targeted for specific engagement interventions to promote completion and effectiveness of IPP.
