Popis: IntroductionAdvanced age and obesity are reported to increase the risk of opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD). Oliceridine, an intravenous opioid, is a G-protein-biased agonist at the µ-opioid receptor that may provide improved safety. The recent phase 3 ATHENA open-label, multicenter study evaluated postoperative use of oliceridine in patients with moderate-to-severe acute pain. This exploratory analysis of the ATHENA data examined the incidence of OIRD in older (≥ 65years) and/or obese (BMI ≥ 30kg/m2) patients and analyzed risk factors of OIRD.MethodsPatients aged ≥ 18years with a score ≥ 4 on an 11-point numeric pain rating scale (NPRS) received IV oliceridine as needed via bolus dosing and/or patient-controlled analgesia (PCA). OIRD occurring within 48h of last dose of oliceridine was defined using two established definitions: (1) naloxone use, (2) respiratory rate
