YHYongmei Huang ALAng Li JHJune Y. Hou

Key Points

This research investigates the impact of medication for opioid use disorder on perioperative outcomes in patients undergoing hysterectomy.
Observed patients with opioid use disorder (OUD) undergoing hysterectomy.
Evaluated the use of medication for opioid use disorder (MOUD) during the perioperative period.
Analyzed complication rates and healthcare utilization.
MOUD use, particularly methadone and buprenorphine, was linked to fewer perioperative complications.
Patients using MOUD for more than 90 days had significantly improved surgical outcomes.
Overall healthcare utilization decreased in patients receiving MOUD.

Abstract

Among patients with OUD undergoing hysterectomy, MOUD use was associated with reduced perioperative complications and health care utilization. Findings support methadone and buprenorphine use to improve hysterectomy surgical outcomes, particularly with more than 90 days of MOUD.
