More than 1 in 4 elective operation patients reported high-risk substance use before operation.
In this cross-sectional study of 2,688 adults, 27.6% reported high-risk use of at least one substance and 6.6% reported high-risk polysubstance use.

New pub @JAMA: while long-term opioid therapy has declined, it remains common among Americans. @PoojaLagisetty @Amy_Bohnert @amy_jiao22834 @MarkBicket @UM_IHPI
From 2015 to 2023, long-term #opioid therapy declined by 24% in the US, but 4.2 million patients remained on long-term opioids, with trends toward older age and increased #Medicare coverage.

Risky alcohol use can increase post-operative complications, yet pre-operative alcohol screening is inconsistent. @MarkBicket's group found AUDIT-C is a feasible screening tool that could help identify at-risk patients if integrated system-wide.
