One-year opioid consumption trajectories among individuals receiving multidisciplinary postsurgical care: a single-center observational study from the Toronto General Hospital Transitional Pain Service
Authors' conclusion
Results suggest that opioid consumption and pain intensity trajectories mostly decrease after surgery in a high-risk population enrolled in a TPS.
