Behavioral Monitoring and Urine Toxicology Testing in Patients Receiving Long-Term Opioid Therapy
Abstract
UNLABELLED: No study has examined the role of urine toxicology in addition to behavioral monitoring in patients receiving opioid therapy for chronic pain. All patients maintained on chronic opioid therapy by the two senior authors at two university pain management centers were monitored for 3 yr with urine toxicology testing and for behaviors suggestive of inappropriate medication use. We retrospectively extracted demographic information, aberrant drug-taking behaviors, and urine toxicology information from the medical record. For 122 patients maintained on chronic opioid therapy, 43% (n = 53) had a "problem" (either positive urine toxicology or one or more aberrant drug-taking behaviors). Of patients with no behavioral issues, 21% (n = 26) had a positive urine screen for either an illicit drug or a nonprescribed controlled medication. Of patients with a negative urine screen, 14% (n = 17) had one or more behavioral issues. Monitoring both urine toxicology and behavioral issues captured more patients with inappropriate drug-taking behavior than either alone. Requiring a report of behavioral issues and urine toxicology screens for patients receiving chronic opioids creates a more comprehensive monitoring system than either alone. IMPLICATIONS: Monitoring both urine toxicology and aberrant behavior in chronic-pain patients treated with opioids identified more problem patients than by monitoring either alone. The authors recommend routine urine testing on all patients prescribed opioids for noncancer pain and as a required element in all opioid analgesic studies.

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.
