    Abstract Objective: To assess the impact of geodemographic factors on antibiotic prescribing for adult acute, uncomplicated bronchitis or upper respiratory tract infection.
    Methods: A retrospective, observational study of 63,051 single health-system, outpatient discharges with a primary diagnosis of bronchitis or upper respiratory tract infection in 2019. Univariate analyses of prescribing predictors and multivariable stepwise logistic modeling were performed.
    Results: Patients who were older (aOR 1.02; 95% CI 1.02, 1.02), male (1.10; 1.06, 1.14), black (1.29; 1.22, 1.38), smoked (1.18; 1.14, 1.23), seen in urgent care (1.26; 1.22, 1.31) and living in an area with more owner-occupied housing (1.41; 1.30, 1.53) were more likely to receive antibiotics. Patients who were Asian (0.88; 0.77, 0.99), had Medicare (0.83; 0.78, 0.87), Medicaid (0.84; 0.79, 0.87) or Exchange insurance (0.90; 0.82, 0.98), or seen in the emergency department (0.43; 0.40, 0.46) were less likely to receive antibiotics. Distance from a patient's address and their encounter location did not predict antibiotic prescribing.
    Conclusions: Antibiotic prescribing interventions for adult acute bronchitis and upper respiratory tract infections could target patients living in an area with higher socioeconomic status.

    Abstract Study design: Randomized controlled trial (RCT).
    Objective: Compare the efficacy of a multimodal, opioid-free (OF) pain management pathway with a traditional opioid-containing (OC) pathway in patients undergoing anterior cervical procedures.
    Summary of background data: Previous studies have compared opioid-based pain regimens to opioid-sparing regimens following cervical spine surgery, but have been limited by high rates of crossover, retrospective designs, reliance on indwelling pain catheters, opioid utilization for early postoperative analgesia, and/or a lack of patient-reported outcome measures.
    Methods: This is a RCT in which patients were allocated to either an OF or OC perioperative pain management protocol. Eligible study participants included adult (age up to 18 y) patients who underwent primary, 1-level or 2-level anterior cervical surgery [anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), anterior cervical disc arthroplasty (ACDA), or hybrid (ACDF and ACDA at different levels)] for degenerative pathology. The primary outcome variable was subjective pain level at 24 hours postoperative. The final study cohort consisted of 50 patients (22 OF, 28 OC).
    Results: Patients in the OF group reported lower median postoperative pain levels at 6 hours (4 for OF vs. 7 for OC; P =0.041) and 24 hours (3 for OF vs. 5 for OC; P =0.032). At 2-week and 6-week follow-up, pain levels were similar between groups. Patients in the OF group reported greater comfort at 12 hours (9 for OF vs. 5 for OC; P =0.003) and 24 hours (9 for OF vs. 5 for OC; P =0.011) postoperatively. Notably, there were no significant differences in patients' reported pain satisfaction, overall surgical satisfaction, or overall sense of physical and mental well-being. In addition, there were no significant differences in falls, delirium, or constipation postoperatively.
    Conclusions: A multimodal OF pain management pathway following anterior cervical surgery for degenerative disease results in statistically noninferior pain control and equivalent patient-reported outcome measures compared with a traditional OC pathway.

    Abstract Background: We hypothesized that an opioid-free (OF), multimodal pain management pathway for thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint arthroplasty would not have inferior pain control compared with that of a standard opioid-containing (OC) pathway.
    Methods: This was a single-center, randomized controlled clinical trial of patients undergoing primary thumb CMC joint arthroplasty. Patients were randomly allocated to either a completely OF analgesic pathway or a standard OC analgesic pathway. Patients in both cohorts received a preoperative brachial plexus block utilizing 30 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine that was administered via ultrasound guidance. The OF group was given a combination of cryotherapy, anti-inflammatory medications, acetaminophen, and gabapentin. The OC group was only given cryotherapy and opioid-containing medication for analgesia. Patient-reported pain was assessed with use of a 0 to 10 numeric rating scale at 24 hours, 2 weeks, and 6 weeks postoperatively. We compared the demographics, opioid-related side effects, patient satisfaction, and Veterans RAND 12-Item Health Survey (VR-12) results between these 2 groups.
    Results: At 24 hours postoperatively, pain scores in the OF group were statistically noninferior to, and lower than, those in the OC group (median, 2 versus 4; p = 0.008). Pain scores continued to differ significantly at 2 weeks postoperatively (median, 2 versus 4; p = 0.001) before becoming more similar at 6 weeks (p > 0.05). No difference was found between groups with respect to opioid-related side effects, patient satisfaction, or VR-12 results.
    Conclusions: A completely opioid-free perioperative protocol is effective for the treatment of pain following thumb CMC joint arthroplasty in properly selected patients.
