Opioid Use After Urogynecologic Procedures: Using a Predictive Calculator
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if the investigators can precisely predict how much pain medication the subjects will need after surgery using a special calculator that was developed for this purpose.

Active Comparator: Standard Opioid Prescription Patients will be given a prescription for opioid pain medication to use for acute postoperative pain as would be typical for the attending surgeon performing the surgery. |
Other: Standard opioid prescription
Patients will receive prescription for post-operative opioids based on what the attending surgeon usually provides.
|
Experimental: Opioid Calculator Prescription Patients will be a given a prescription for opioid pain medication based on the opioid calculator. |
Other: Opioid calculator
Our research group previously created an Opioid calculator that can be used to predict the number of opioids needed post-operatively based on patient health history and characteristics.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Change in pain scores measured by team-created pain questionnaires [baseline, 1 week post-op, 2 weeks post-op]
Pain questionnaire is a 2 question survey that ask patients to rate pain on scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain) immediately post-op and current. Baseline will be calculated by asking patient's expected post-op pain score.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Change in satisfaction scores measured by team-created questionnaire [1 week post-op, 2 weeks post-op]
Questionnaire is a 1 question survey that ask patients to rate their satisfaction with their pain control on scale of 0 (totally unsatisfied) to 10 (totally satisfied) immediately post-op and current.
- Change in number of opioid tablets remaining measured by team-created questionnaire [1 week post-op, 2 weeks post-op]
Patients will be asked the number of tablets remaining from their opioid prescriptions.
