Opioid prescriptions among Sami and non-Sami with chronic pain: The SAMINOR 2 Questionnaire Survey and the Norwegian Prescription Database
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CIRCUMPOLAR HEALTH(2023)
摘要
This study is the first to investigate the prevalence of filled opioid prescriptions among indigenous Sami people with self-reported chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMSP) and compare it with that of non-Sami living in the same area. Baseline data from the SAMINOR 2 Questionnaire Survey (2012) was linked prospectively to the Norwegian Prescription Database. Information on filled opioid prescriptions during 2012-2019 was collected for 4767 persons who reported CMSP in SAMINOR 2. Gender-stratified chi-square tests, two-sample t-tests, Kruskal - Wallis tests, and multinomial logistic regression was applied. Two out of three CMSP respondents received no or only one prescription of opioids during 2012-2019. In each year, 80% of women received no opioids, 7-10% received one prescription of & LE; 180 defined daily doses (DDD), 8-9% received in total & LE; 180 DDD in two or more prescriptions, and 2-3% received > 180 DDD of opioids. Among men, 81-83% received no opioids, 8-11% received one prescription with & LE; 180 DDD, 5-9% received & LE; 180 DDD in two or more prescriptions, and 1-2% received > 180 DDD of opioids in a single year. There were no overall ethnic differences, which indicates a similar prescription policy for opioids for Sami and non-Sami with CMSP.
