What this Trial Is About
Researchers are investigating opioid use and its safety around the time of surgery in adult patients across hospitals in the UK and Europe. This international, prospective observational study aims to understand how opioid use relates to surgical complications, persistent pain, and quality of life after surgery. The study will collect detailed data on perioperative pain management and its effects on patients' recovery over a year. During a designated one-week period, data will be gathered from hospitalized adult patients undergoing inpatient surgery involving an anesthetist, whether elective or emergency. Participants will be followed up at one week, three months, and twelve months after surgery to track opioid use before surgery, during and shortly after surgery, and throughout the postoperative year. Researchers will also monitor surgical complications, incidence of pain, including neuropathic pain, and quality of life. Participants will provide baseline information and complete validated questionnaires at specified times during the study. Researchers will measure patient-reported opioid use three months post-surgery as the primary outcome, with additional assessments of pain and quality of life as secondary outcomes. The study will help identify patterns of opioid use and associated outcomes to inform improved pain management strategies for surgical patients.
