Analysis of Predictors of Opioid-Free Analgesia for Management of Acute Post-Surgical Pain in the United States.

CONCLUSIONS: Use of post-surgical OFA was limited overall and was not favored in some patient groups prone to ORADEs, indicating missed opportunities to reduce opioid use and ORADE incidence. A substantial proportion of OFA patients was contributed by a few hospitals with especially high rates of OFA, suggesting that hospital policies, institutional structure, and cross-functional departmental commitment to reducing opioid use may play a large role in the implementation of OFA.
