Popis: BACKGROUND We aim to audit our institution's opioid prescribing practices after common cervical procedures. METHODS Retrospective cohort study from one medical center. Reviewed records from 2016-2019 for 472 patients who underwent one of several common cervical procedures. Data collected on demographics, perioperative details, in-hospital pain medication use, and opioids prescribed at discharge. Multivariable logistic regression was run. RESULTS In hospital, median daily milligram morphine equivalents (MME) was 4 (IQR 0-15). Median MME prescribed at discharge was 112.5 MME (IQR 75-150). 3/472 patients received NSAIDs. Predictors of decreased discharge MME were age 70 and older (OR 0.33, p = 0.037) and more recent year (compared to 2016, OR 0.23 [p = 0.031] for 2017, OR 0.13 [p = 0.001] for 2018, and OR 0.070 [p
