To study the prevalence and factors associated with opioid use in pain, 480 consecutive patients with a chief complaint of pain were interviewed at 10 clinics in Zahedan. The data were analysed in relation to 18 possible associated factors. The prevalence of opioid use was 28.5% in patients presenting with pain. There was no significant relation between opioid use and chronic pain [>/= 6 months], but there was a relationship with the following 5 factors:previous opioid use by friends [72.9% versus 20.4% without friends using], occupation [58.5% private sector employees/self-employed versus 17.4% housewives], cigarette smoking [60.8% versus 21.8% not smoking], consultation for a psychological problem [38.3% versus 23.3% without], and death of a spouse [60.0% versus 26.1% without]

Introduction Opioid abuse has become a national crisis. Published data demonstrate that patients undergoing foot and ankle surgery are left with excess narcotic medications postoperatively. The purpose of our study was to evaluate factors associated with prolonged postoperative opioid use following foot and ankle surgery and identify associations between preoperative opioid use and postoperative complications. Methods MarketScan commercial claims and encounters database was searched to identify foot and ankle patients. Preoperative comorbidities were queried and documented. Patients utilizing opioids 1 to 3 months prior to surgery were identified. Adjusted odds ratios and 95% CIs were calculated using multivariable logistic regression to determine associations between opioid use (preoperatively and postoperatively), readmission, and complications. Results A total of 112 893 patients were included in the study. Preoperative use had a statistically significant association with postoperative use out to 1 year. Tobacco use, chronic pain, mental health diagnosis, and nonopioid medications had a statistically significant association with postoperative use. Preoperative opioid use had a statistically significant association with readmission and postoperative complications. Conclusion Our study found a number of factors associated with prolonged postoperative opioid use (preoperative use, tobacco use, chronic pain, mental health disorders, and certain nonopioid medications). We identified an association between preoperative opioid use and postoperative complications and readmission. Levels of Evidence Prognostic Level IV Evidence
