Evidence-based clinical practice guideline for the pharmacologic management of acute dental pain in children: A report from the American Dental Association Science and Research Institute, the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, and the Center for Integrative Global Oral Health at the University of Pennsylvania
CONCLUSIONS AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Nonopioid medications, specifically nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen and naproxen alone or in combination with acetaminophen, are recommended for managing acute dental pain after 1 or more tooth extractions (that is, simple and surgical) and the temporary management of toothache in children (conditional recommendation, very low certainty). According to the US Food and Drug Administration, the use of codeine and tramadol in children for managing acute pain is contraindicated.PMID:37634915 | DOI:10.1016/j.adaj.2023.06.014 (Source: Journal of the American Dental Association)

Changes in hospital consumption of opioid and non-opioid analgesics after colorectal endometriosis surgery
AbstractThe aim of this study was to analyze postoperative consumption of analgesics during hospitalization following colorectal surgery for endometriosis. We conducted a retrospective study at Tenon University Hospital, Paris, France from February 2019 to December 2021. One hundred sixty-two patients underwent colorectal surgery: eighty-nine (55%) by robotic and seventy-three (45%) by conventional laparoscopy. The type of procedure had an impact on acetaminophen and nefopam consumed per day: consumption for colorectal shaving, discoid resection, and segmental resection was, respectively, 2(0.5), 2.1(0.6), 2.4(0.6) g/day (...

Treatment pattern and health care resource utilization for Taiwanese patients with migraine: a population-based study
ConclusionThese real-world data suggest unmet needs for Taiwanese patients with migraine, including under-utilization of preventive medications and greater costs and health care resource use for patients with CM versus EM. These findings provide important information on treatment patterns, cost, and health care resource use for patients with migraine in Taiwan. (Source: Frontiers in Neurology)

Risk of Hyponatremia after Tramadol/Acetaminophen Single-Pill Combination Therapy: A Real-World Study Based on the OMOP –CDM Database
ConclusionIn this real-world study, hyponatremia was more frequently observed in the TA than AA group, and in the TA –ER than TA–IR subgroup. Therefore, it is imperative to prescribe tramadol cautiously and closely monitor electrolyte levels. (Source: Drugs in R&D)

Patient, operative and pain management factors influencing inpatient compared with surgical day care mastectomy procedures at a community hospital
CONCLUSION: We found no significant differences in surgical outcomes between inpatients and those with same-day discharge after mastectomy procedures. These findings add to the growing body of evidence that surgical day care mastectomy procedures are safe in the community setting.PMID:37500104 | DOI:10.1503/cjs.010422 (Source: Canadian Journal of Surgery)

Opioid prescription patterns in the province of Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain (2016 –2020): differences between urban and rural areas
Conclusion: The differences in prescription opioid use are most likely explained by the opioid prescribing practices in each island, whereas factors such urbanicity level, population age, population density and status socioeconomic does not help to explain the differences in prescription opioid use across rural and urban areas.

Prescription patterns of analgesics in cancer patients with bone metastases in Japan: a retrospective database study
CONCLUSION: In Japanese cancer patients with bone metastases, acetaminophen, NSAIDs, and weak or strong opioids were commonly used; their use increased after SREs developed. Opioid use increased closer to death.PMID:37314600 | DOI:10.1007/s10147-023-02365-3 (Source: Clinical Prostate Cancer)
