Diz Ameliyatı Sonrası Suzetrigin: Less Opioid Reçete Yeterli Mi?

– no control list before or after.

Key data:
– 104 patients retrospective knee arthroplasty analysis
– Lower opioid refills by 2 weeks (57.7% vs 34.6%)
– Higher opioid-free rates at 6 weeks (88.5% vs 65.4%)
– No significant differences in pain scores or functional recovery
– Opioid-naïve subgroup: fewer refills, but not statistically significant for opioid-free at 6 weeks (91.5% vs 76.7%; P = .054)
– Historical controls and concurrent practice shifts confound inference
– Reduced gabapentin use concurrently
– Prescribing metrics may overestimate exposure – systematic review of 6 studies, 810 surgical patients, ~42%-71% of opioid tablets unused
– Contraindications: strong CYP3A inhibitors contraindicated, moderate inhibitors require dose modification, avoid CYP3A inducers, not studied beyond 14 days for acute pain
– Cost: internal review, half got insurance coverage with out-of-pocket ~$30, rest relied on manufacturer assistance
– $30 = 30 × 49.16 = TL 1,474.80

Let me convert the dollar amounts:
– $30 out-of-pocket cost = 30 × 49.16 = TL 1,474.80
