BACKGROUND Radiation oncologists (ROs) play an important role in managing cancer pain; however, their opioid prescribing patterns remain poorly described. METHODS The 2016 Medicare Physician Compare National Downloadable and the 2016 Medicare Part D Prescriber Data files were cross-linked to identify RO-written opioid prescriptions. RESULTS Of 4,627 identified ROs, 1,360 (29.3%) wrote >10 opioid prescriptions. The average number of opioid prescriptions written was significantly (P ≤ .05) associated with the following RO characteristics: sex [13.1 ± 36.5 male vs 7.5 ± 16.9 female]; years since medical school graduation [4.5 ± 11.5 1-10 years vs 12.6 ± 26.0 11-24 years vs 13.3 ± 40.9 ≥25 years]; practice size [15.5 ± 44.6 size ≤10 vs 13.3 ± 25.9 size 11-49 vs 8.5 ± 12.7 size 50-99 vs 8.8 ± 26.9 size ≥100]; Medicare Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS) participation [12.6 ± 31.8 yes vs 7.0 ± 35.4 no]; and practice location [17.4 ± 47.0 South vs 10.6 ± 29.4 Midwest vs 8.1 ± 13.9 West vs 6.9 ± 15.2 Northeast]. On multivariable regression modeling, male sex (RR 1.29, 95% CI 1.22-1.35, P < .001), ≥25 years since graduation (RR 0.78, 95% CI 0.64-0.70, 1-10 years vs ≥25 years; RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.96 - 1.04, 11-24 years vs ≥25 years; P < .001), practice size <10 members (RR 1.51, CI 1.44-1.59, ≤10 vs ≥100 members, RR 1.27, CI 1.20-1.34, 10-49 vs ≥100 members, RR 0.86, CI 0.80-0.92, 50-99 vs ≥100 members, P < .001), PQRS participation (RR 1.12, CI 1.04-1.19, P < .002), and Southern location (RR 0.67, CI 0.64-0.70, Midwest vs South; RR 0.39, CI 0.37-0.41, Northeast vs South; RR 0.43, CI 0.41-0.46, West vs South; P < .001) were predictive of higher opioid prescription rates. CONCLUSIONS Factors associated with increased number of RO-written opioid prescriptions were male sex, ≥25 years since graduation, group practice <10, PQRS participation, and Southern location. Additional research is required to establish optimal opioid prescribing practices for ROs.

美国放射肿瘤学家的阿片类药物处方模式。



背景放射肿瘤科医生(RO)在治疗癌症疼痛方面发挥着重要作用。然而,他们的阿片类药物处方模式仍然知之甚少。方法 将 2016 年 Medicare 医师比较全国可下载文件和 2016 年 Medicare D 部分处方者数据文件进行交叉链接,以识别 RO 书写的阿片类药物处方。结果 在 4,627 名已识别的 RO 中,1,360 名 (29.3%) 开出了 >10 阿片类药物处方。阿片类药物处方的平均数量与以下 RO 特征显着相关 (P ≤ .05): 性别 [13.1 ± 36.5 男性 vs 7.5 ± 16.9 女性];医学院毕业后的年数[4.5 ± 11.5 1-10 年 vs 12.6 ± 26.0 11-24 年 vs 13.3 ± 40.9 ≥25 年];练习尺寸[15.5±44.6尺寸≤10 vs 13.3±25.9尺寸11-49 vs 8.5±12.7尺寸50-99 vs 8.8±26.9尺寸≥100];医疗保险医师质量报告系统 (PQRS) 参与 [12.6 ± 31.8 是 vs 7.0 ± 35.4 否];和练习地点 [17.4 ± 47.0 南 vs 10.6 ± 29.4 中西部 vs 8.1 ± 13.9 西 vs 6.9 ± 15.2 东北]。在多变量回归模型中,男性(RR 1.29,95% CI 1.22-1.35,P < .001),毕业后≥25年(RR 0.78,95% CI 0.64-0.70,1-10年与≥25年; RR 1.00,95% CI 0.96 - 1.04,11-24 岁 vs ≥25 岁;P < .001),诊所规模 <10 成员(RR 1.51,CI 1.44-1.59,≤10 与 ≥100 名成员,RR 1.27, CI 1.20-1.34、10-49 与 ≥100 名成员、RR 0.86、CI 0.80-0.92、50-99 与 ≥100 名成员、P < .001)、PQRS 参与(RR 1.12、CI 1.04-1.19、P < .002)和南部地区(RR 0.67,CI 0.64-0.70,中西部与南部;RR 0.39,CI 0.37-0.41,东北与南部;RR 0.43,CI 0.41-0.46,西部与南部;P < .001)预测阿片类药物处方率较高。 结论 与 RO 书写的阿片类药物处方数量增加相关的因素包括男性、毕业年龄≥25 年、团体实践 <10、PQRS 参与和南方地区。需要进行更多研究来为 RO 建立最佳的阿片类药物处方实践。
