The association between prescribed opioid use for mothers and children: a record-linkage study.
Abstract
Purpose The repeated use of prescription opioids may lead to serious side effects. It is therefore important to examine factors associated with such repeated use. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between the maternal use of prescription opioids and their use by offspring of these mothers.Methods Data were extracted from two nationwide registers linked by unique personal identity numbers: the 2001 Norwegian Population and Housing Census and the Norwegian Prescription Database 2004-2009. The study population consisted of 97,574 adolescents aged 15-16 years in 2001 and their mothers. The repeated use of opioids was defined as the issuing of >4 and >15 prescriptions to an adolescent and his/her mother, respectively, during the period 2004-2009. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are not potentially addictive, and individuals issued prescriptions for NSAIDs were used as the reference analgesic drug group.Results The proportion of repeated prescription opioid users was higher among adolescents whose mother was registered as a repeated user of prescription opioids (8.4 %) than among those whose mother did not repeatedly use prescription opioids (2.4 %). The odds ratio (OR) was 3.1 [95 % confidence interval (CI) 2.7-3.6] when adjusted for the mother's socioeconomic characteristics and the gender of the offspring. A lower socioeconomic position of the mother increased the risk of repeated opioid use by her offspring. Maternal repeated use of NSAIDs was associated with repeated use of NSAIDs among offspring (OR 1.8, 95 % CI 1.7-2.0).Conclusions Among our study population, the maternal use of opioids was associated with the repeated use of prescription opioids among the respective offspring. The same association was seen with NSAIDs, but to a lesser extent.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
