Abstract

Concept set intended to identify patients with an exposure to opioids.

Funder(s)

Provenance

This concept set was first used as part of the Outcomes of Children with Kidney Stones: Retrospective Cohort Study. The concept set was then re-used in 2024 for Impact of the 2014 NHLBI Guidelines on Cerebrovascular Events in Sickle Cell Disease to identify sickle cell patients with hospitalizations for pain.

Description

This medication concept set includes the following opioids: tilidine, tramadol, buprenorphine, butorphanol, dezocine, codeine, fentanyl, dihydrocodeine, morphine, hydromorphone, Ketobemidone, meperidine, methadone, nalbuphine, opium, oxycodone, papaveretum, pentazocine, pirinitramide, propoxyphene, or tapentadol.

The concept set was re-used from prior work in a PKIDS study for work investigating sickle cell disease. The code set is a part of a clinical variable definition for inpatient hospitalization. To be classified with pain hospitalization, a patient needs to have a tleast one occurrence of diagnosis code in the inpatient visit OR two exposures to opioids on separate days. Face validity was checked using manual review on a small subset of patient. 100% specificity and sensitivities were seen.

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
Study to identify the impact of the 2014 NHBLI guidelines recommending early and universal hydroxyurea (HU) on HU prescriptions and cerebrovascular outcomes in a national cohort of children and young adults born between 2009-2023, and to determine the relationship between timely HU initiation before 2 years of age and the occurence of cerebrovascular disease in children and young adults with sickle cell disease.
