“…Boscarino et al (2010) found evidence to suggest that 26 percent of patients who received long-term opioid therapy (four or more opioid prescriptions in a 12-month period) from a primary physician would struggle with opioid dependence. Furthermore, Shah et al (2017) found that the probability of long-term opioid use increases most dramatically during the first days of therapy. Specifically, the likelihood of chronic opioid use increases with each additional day of medication supplied, but the sharpest increases occurred after the 5th and 31st day, or after receiving just one prescription refill.…”

Prescription Opioids and Labor Market Pains: The Effect of Schedule II Opioids on Labor Force Participation and Unemployment

We examine the effect of prescription opioids on county labor market outcomes, using data from the Prescription Drug Monitoring Programs of ten U.S. states and labor data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. We achieve causal identification by exploiting plausibly exogenous variation in the concentration of high-volume prescribers as instruments (using Medicare Part D prescriber data). We find strong adverse effects on labor force participation rates, employmentto-population ratios, and unemployment rates. Notably, a 10 percent increase in prescriptions causes a 0.56 percentage point reduction in labor force participation, similar to the drop attributed to the 1984 liberalization of Disability Insurance.

“…Pain associated with sport injury may be acute (up to 6 weeks), subacute (6–12 weeks) or chronic (3 months or longer) 216. When pain has persisted beyond 6 weeks of an injury or inciting event, the influences on pain and disability should be re-explored.…”

Pain is a common problem among elite athletes and is frequently associated with sport injury. Both pain and injury interfere with the performance of elite athletes. There are currently no evidence-based or consensusbased guidelines for the management of pain in elite athletes. Typically, pain management consists of the provision of analgesics, rest and physical therapy. More appropriately, a treatment strategy should address all contributors to pain including underlying pathophysiology, biomechanical abnormalities and psychosocial issues, and should employ therapies providing optimal benefit and minimal harm. To advance the development of a more standardised, evidenceinformed approach to pain management in elite athletes, an IOC Consensus Group critically evaluated the current state of the science and practice of pain management in sport and prepared recommendations for a more unified approach to this important topic.

“…Because prescribing opioid analgesia carries some risk of iatrogenic opioid abuse disorder and ED opioid prescriptions may contribute to the development of addiction, the role of FabAV in decreasing opioid requirements during recovery is intriguing. [50][51][52][53][54] Because these findings are exploratory, future research is necessary to determine the potential effect of FabAV treatment on long-term opioid use after envenomation.…”
