Postoperative analgesia for upper gastrointestinal surgery: a retrospective cohort analysis
CONCLUSIONS: We found that thoracic epidural analgesia was superior to intrathecal morphine, and intrathecal morphine was superior to non-neuraxial analgesia, in terms of reduced postoperative morphine requirements and the probability of adequate pain control in patients who underwent upper gastrointestinal surgery. However, the benefits of thoracic epidural analgesia and intrathecal morphine were not sustained across all time periods regarding control of pain. The study is limited by its retrospective design, heterogenous group of upper gastrointestinal surgeries and confounding by indication.PMID:37464387 | DOI:10.1186/s13741-023-00324-0

Opioid dispensing 2008-18: a Queensland perspective
ConclusionThis study highlights changes in opioid prescription dispensing by drug and OME, as well as the variation in dispensing rates when accounting for remoteness. Further studies to link statewide databases, and to better understand drivers for differences in dispensing by location, will provide valuable insights to further inform policy and service provision.PMID:36634962 | DOI:10.1071/AH22247

Opioid prescribing in general practice: an Australian cross-sectional survey
CONCLUSIONS: Only 5% of GP encounters involved an opioid prescription. Of concern, were: prescribing for chronic non-cancer pain, potentially high-risk opioid encounters where > 100 OME daily dose was prescribed, and/or there was co-prescription of sedating psychoactive medication. However, approximately one-in-three opioid prescribing encounters involved non-pharmacological interventions.PMID:35804306 | DOI:10.1186/s12875-022-01783-y
