Variations in Opioid Use Following Robotic Radical Prostatectomy in South Florida.

Journal of endourology
Opioid dependency has been a persistent issue in the United States over the past two decades. Increased efforts have been made to reduce opioid prescribing. Our objective was to quantify at-home opioid requirements following radical prostatectomy. ...

Classifying Characteristics of Opioid Use Disorder From Hospital Discharge Summaries Using Natural Language Processing.

Frontiers in public health
BACKGROUND: Opioid use disorder (OUD) is underdiagnosed in health system settings, limiting research on OUD using electronic health records (EHRs). Medical encounter notes can enrich structured EHR data with documented signs and symptoms of OUD and s...

The Role of Gabapentinoids in the Substance Use Pattern of Adult Germans Seeking Inpatient Detoxification Treatment - A Pilot Study.

Journal of psychoactive drugs
To shed more light on the addictive power of the gabapentinoids (GPTs) gabapentin and pregabalin, we performed a structured face-to-face interview with GPT-users about DSM-IV-dependence-criteria (sedatives), consume-motives and cessation-needs. Among...

Efficacy of Transversus Abdominis Plane Block in the Reduction of Pain and Opioid Requirement in Laparoscopic and Robot-assisted Hysterectomy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Revista brasileira de ginecologia e obstetricia : revista da Federacao Brasileira das Sociedades de Ginecologia e Obstetricia
OBJECTIVE:  To summarize the available evidence of TAP Block in efficacy in laparoscopic or robotic hysterectomy.

A Data-Driven Iterative Approach for Semi-automatically Assessing the Correctness of Medication Value Sets: A Proof of Concept Based on Opioids.

Methods of information in medicine
BACKGROUND: Value sets are lists of terms (e.g., opioid medication names) and their corresponding codes from standard clinical vocabularies (e.g., RxNorm) created with the intent of supporting health information exchange and research. Value sets are ...

Rectus sheath block for acute pain management after robot-assisted prostatectomy.

Asian journal of surgery
BACKGROUND: Robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy (RALP) is a favored surgical approach for treating prostate cancer. However, RALP does not decrease postoperative pain significantly despite its minimal invasiveness. The pain associated with robo...

Association of Individual and Community Factors With Hepatitis C Infections Among Pregnant People and Newborns.

JAMA health forum
IMPORTANCE: The opioid crisis has increasingly affected pregnant people and infants. Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections, a known complication of opioid use, grew in parallel with opioid-related complications; however, the literature informing individ...

How prevalent and severe is addiction on GABAmimetic drugs in an elderly German general hospital population? Focus on gabapentinoids, benzodiazepines, and z-hypnotic drugs.

Human psychopharmacology
OBJECTIVE: Gabapentinoids (GPT) are reported to be increasingly misused by opioid- and polydrug-users, but the addictive potential of GPT outside of these populations remains understudied. Investigations comparing GPT abuse and dependence liability t...

Single- versus multi-port robotic partial nephrectomy: a comparative analysis of perioperative outcomes and analgesic requirements.

Journal of robotic surgery
Evidence supporting the safe use of the single-port (SP) robot for partial nephrectomy is scarce. The purpose of this study was to compare perioperative outcomes for patients undergoing robotic assisted SP vs multi-port (MP) partial nephrectomy (PN) ...
