Association Between Opioid Use Disorder and Hysterectomy Outcomes

Listen to this summary

The authors aimed to evaluate the impact of opioid use disorder (OUD) on complications, length of hospital stay, and costs associated with hysterectomy procedures. Their findings indicate that patients with OUD experience higher complication rates, longer hospital stays, and increased hospital charges compared to those without OUD, suggesting a need for enhanced preoperative care for this population.
