About the Report
阿片类药物流行已经吸引了该国十年了,尽管面对COVID-19的大流行,今年失去了关注,这影响了慢性疼痛和成瘾的患者的生活和医疗保健以及许多其他人的生活和医疗保健。lol买外围用什么软件COVID-19对使用处方阿片类药物的影响很小,自6月以来,其使用主要反弹至基线水平。尽管如此,预计2020年的处方阿片类药物使用的两位数下降又有望进一步将美国的使用降低为自2000年代初以来未见的水平。尽管在全国范围内对阿片类药物流行的人类损失却有所不同,但在管理处方阿片类药物和支持药物辅助治疗方面的努力显示出许多州的可衡量进展。报告摘要
This report provides a timely view of levels of, and trends in, opioid prescribing, how those vary by state, and how those variations illustrate progress and remaining risks. Prescription opioid volume is expected to drop for the ninth consecutive year — a decline of 60% from its peak in 2011. Per capita use of prescription opioids is expected to drop back to levels of use seen in the early 2000, with the greatest reductions in prescription opioid use – as measured in morphine milligram equivalents (MME) – seen in higher-risk segments taking more than 90 MMEs (per day. The greatest declines in prescription opioid use are seen in states which previously had the highest per capita use.在减少最高风险的处方并与称为苯二氮卓类药物的阿片类药物的共同处方方面取得了进一步的进展,这与较高的过量和死亡风险有关。然而,与年轻患者相比,在65岁以上的患者中,共同处方的阿片类药物和苯二氮卓类药物的使用下降量较小。自2016年以来,阿片类药物和苯二氮卓类药物的总处方下降了30%,但估计接受合并方案的老年人人数仍然很大,为120万老年人。
There are sometimes no other alternatives to opioids for pain management, and current drugs for opioid use disorders are themselves narcotics, driving an intense research effort for alternatives, with only limited progress emerging. Treating underlying diseases with symptomatic pain and developing non-opioid therapies is the focus of the current pipeline. Unmet needs in addiction additionally are being addressed with ongoing research on new mechanisms of action and digital therapeutics.
