Description

Corresponding with CDC’s Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain in 2016, policies and procedures enacted by private and public institutions, prescriptions for opioid medications have been declining. However, the trends of opioid use change among older adults remains poorly understood, probably because older people are not at the center stage of the national opioid crisis. This study aimed to provide updates on utilization and trends in new opioid prescriptions and new long-term opioid episode among older adults enrolled in Medicare.
