Abstract

This retrospective national cohort study, on an individual basis, combines 2015-2018 Norwegian Trauma Registry data (n=26562) with Norwegian Prescription Database data on all prescription drugs dispensed during the year before and two years after injury, to describe peritraumatic patterns of opioid use and elucidate reasons for long-term opioid use among trauma patients.
