Popis: INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES:To compare chronic narcotic use (CNU) and average narcotic doses prescribed five years prior to and five years following the diagnosis of chronic pelvic pain (CPP). To evaluate patient characteristics associated with CNU and CPP.METHODS:We used the validated Veteran’s Health Administration corporate database warehouse. Time 0 was the first CPP diagnosis date by ICD-9 codes.
