About this study
The purpose of this prospective cohort study is to evaluate the opiate prescribing patterns post open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of wrist and ankle fractures at the Ottawa Hospital.
The primary objective would be to examine the quantity and duration of opiates consumed by the study population, as well as the participant's overall satisfaction with pain control. the investigators will assess whether there is a discrepancy between the quantity of pills prescribed and what is being consumed.

With the data collected, the secondary objective would be to create a standardized pain prescription, which the investigators would implement in the second phase of this prospective study. Opiate pills consumed, pain satisfaction and left-over narcotics would again be assessed.
The overall goal of this study is to produce an appropriate standardized post-operative prescription, where the number of opiates prescribed mirrors what is being consumed. This would cut down on the quantity of left-over narcotics, helping to reduce the incidence of opiate dependency and diversion in the Ottawa community.
Read the detailed description
This is a multiphase study that will begin with a retrospective review of the prescribing patterns at the Ottawa Hospital. The post-operative prescriptions of 50 wrist fracture and 50 ankle fracture patients booked for same day fracture fixation will be reviewed. The type and quantity of opiate pills prescribed, as well as the other multimodal analgesics prescribed will be collected. Phase one will provide the investigators with data regarding the recent prescribing trends at the Ottawa Hospital prior to beginning the prospective phase of the study.
Phase two and three of the study involves collecting data from two prospectively collected cohorts - the standard of care cohort (phase 2) and the standardized prescription cohort (phase 3).
In phase two, eligible wrist and ankle fracture patients booked for open reduction and internal fixation through the Walking Wounded (emergency day surgery) program will be recruited and consented via telephone prior to their surgery date. The study participants will receive a post-operative prescription at the discretion of their attending surgeon, fellow or resident, with no intervention from the researchers involved in this study. On post-operative day three and post-operative day ten, these patients will be contacted by phone by the research team and asked to respond verbally to a questionnaire that will record the following measures - quantity of opiates consumed/left-over, pain intensity, satisfaction with pain treatment and other non-opiate medications taken.
Using the data collected from phase two, a standardized pain prescription will be created. The average quantity of opiates consumed by the phase two participants will be used to guide the quantity of opiates to be prescribed on the standardized prescription. Similar to recruitment in phase two, in phase three, all eligible patients will be contacted and recruited by telephone prior to their surgery. These patients will be flagged on the day of surgery and given the standardized prescription post-operatively. They will then be asked to respond to the same questionnaires via telephone on post-op day three and post-op day ten.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Standardized opiate prescriptionOther
The standardized prescription will include a single opiate, with a fixed dose and number of tablets. It will also include non-opiate adjuncts commonly prescribed at our institution, namely acetaminophen and an anti-inflammatory medication.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Patient reported pain satisfaction
Patient reported pain satisfaction between those receiving standard of care, and those receiving the novel standardized prescription will be compared. Treatment satisfaction will be measured using the 11-point ordinal rating of pain intensity (numeric rating scale) and an 11-point ordinal rating of satisfaction with pain relief. In addition to the numerical rating scale, A verbal rating scale (VRS), will also be used to qualify pain control. The VRS consists of a list of descriptors that represent varying degrees of pain intensity. Each of these descriptors has a number associated with it (e.g., 0 = none, 1 = mild pain, 2 = moderate pain, 3 = severe pain, and 4 = intolerable pain). Comparable to the VRS, the Likert scale will similarly be used to qualify treatment satisfaction (e.g., 0 = Very satisfied, 1 = somewhat satisfied, 2 = neither satisfied nor dissatisfied, 3 = somewhat dissatisfied, and 4 = very dissatisfied).
Measured: Measures will be recorded on days 3 postoperatively

Measured: Measures will be recorded on day 10 postoperatively
Secondary outcomes (7)
Average quantity of opioids prescribed in the standard of care cohort measured using morphine equivalents.
The quantity of opioids prescribed per patient will be converted to Morphine Milligram Equivalents (MME). Data on quantity and types of opiates prescribed, as well as other non-opiate adjuncts, will be collected through EPIC, our institution's electronic health records system.
Measured: Prescription information will be collected at a single point prior to post-operative day 3.
Average quantity of opioids consumed post-operatively in both cohorts
The quantity of opiates consumed per patient will be collected on post-operative day three, by asking the study participant to count the number of pills remaining in their opiate prescription bottle.
Measured: Measures will be recorded on day 3 postoperatively
Average quantity of opioids consumed post-operatively in both cohorts
The quantity of opiates consumed per patient will be collected on post-operative day ten, by asking the study participant to count the number of pills remaining in their opiate prescription bottle.
Measured: Measures will be recorded on day 10 postoperatively
Average quantity of left-over/unused opiates
The quantity of opiates remaining per patient will be collected on post-operative day ten, by asking the study participant to count the number of pills remaining in their opiate prescription bottle.
Measured: Post-operative day 10
Distribution of use of different opioids and non-opioid adjuncts prescribed
The variety of different opiate molecules and non-opiate adjuncts prescribed will be collected and the frequency that each type is being used at our institution will be analyzed.
Measured: Prescription information will be collected at a single point prior to post-operative day 3.
The difference in consumption patterns between patients receiving peripheral nerve blocks versus those who haven't received a regional anesthetic.
Average quantity of opioids consumed post-operatively will be compared between the patients receiving peripheral nerve blocks versus those who haven't received a regional anesthetic.
Measured: Measures will be recorded on days 3 postoperatively

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Standardized opiate prescription in people with Opioid Use and Post-operative Pain, run by The Ottawa Hospital.
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 4 inclusion and 6 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 12 Apr 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Zoe Rubin, M.D. (5147549514, zrubin@toh.ca), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Patient reported pain satisfaction (time frame: Measures will be recorded on days 3 postoperatively). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05322564, which also lists 6 linked publications.
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?
