PurposePreoperative opioid treatment increases postoperative adverse events. This study was aimed to analyze preoperative opioid prevalence in countries with low opioid consumption. Additionally, the effect of low opioid usage on postoperative outcomes was also investigated.MethodsWe conducted this single center retrospective cohort analysis in a Japanese university-affiliated hospital to investigate opioid usage and its impact on the duration of postoperative hospitalization and in-hospital mortality. Adult patients who underwent general anesthesia between 2015 and 2020 were included. We extracted the patients’ characteristics, surgical information and postoperative outcomes. Subgroup analysis to address opioid dose effect was performed in high and low dose opioid subgroups.ResultsAmong 20,306 inpatients, 535 (2.63%) patients used opioids preoperatively. Tramadol was the most frequently used opioid. The median morphine equivalent (MME) dose was 15 mg/day. Median duration of hospitalization was 18 and 9 days in the opioid and non-opioid groups, and in-hospital mortality was 2.06% and 0.42%. Multivariable regression analysis demonstrated that preoperative opioid use was associated with a longer duration of hospitalization and in-hospital mortality. Subgroup analysis demonstrated longer durations of hospitalization in both high (> 30 mg/day MME) and low (≤ 30 mg/day MME) dose opioid groups, while higher in-hospital mortality was seen only in the high dose opioid group.ConclusionsPreoperative opioid usage was one-tenth of the United States average. Despite its low prevalence and small dosage, preoperative opioid usage was associated with poor postoperative outcomes. Dedicated perioperative interventions to prevent opioid-associated adverse events should be developed even in countries with low opioid consumption.
