About this study

Official title: PCORnet Opioid Surveillance Demonstration Project

The overarching objective of this project is to demonstrate and assess the feasibility of using the Patient Centered Outcomes Research Network (PCORnet) Common Data Model for opioid surveillance to complement existing and support future initiatives. This project will characterize risk factors, processes, and outcomes related to opioid use, misuse, and abuse. It will quantify the utility of data stored in the PCORnet Common Data Model format stewarded by healthcare organizations participating in PCORnet.

Read the detailed description

This is a two phase retrospective study. The goal of Phase I is to assess the utility of PCORnet Common Data Mode (CDM) data to study risk factors, processes, and outcomes related to opioid use, misuse, and abuse. Based on the results of the Phase I feasibility examination, Phase II will be conducted and will analyze the relationships between patient- and provider-level risk factors and policies, and opioid-related outcomes over time and within geographic regions.

The study will leverage the existing data PCORnet data infrastructure and resources to achieve its objectives and answer its research questions. Standardized analysis programs will be distributed to participating sites within the PCORnet Distributed Research Network. Sites will return aggregate, descriptive counts and summary statistics from regression analyses. When data are unavailable or analysis is determined infeasible, results will be reported as such.

The Aims of Phase I are:

  1. Generate counts and proportion of patients with exposure (or potential exposure) to opioids though prescription or dispensing records within a health system.
  2. Compare results to CDC.
  3. Characterize data elements in PCORnet data and assess suitability for opioid surveillance.
  4. Identify the relevant data elements
  5. Examine data completeness and validity
  6. Identify data limitations and gaps that limit surveillance

The Aims of Phase II are:

  1. Examine whether and to what extent patient-level risk factors, provider processes, and policies are associated with declines in outcomes of interest.
  2. Examine whether and to what extent prescribing guidelines, related policies, processes, and/or care procedures are associated opioid-related outcomes.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Opioid Use and Opioid Abuse, run by Louisiana Public Health Institute at 24 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Nov 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 24 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Opioid exposure (prescribing/dispensing) counts by Guideline A group (time frame: 1/1/2010-12/31/2017). The study lists 31 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Nov 2020.
