OpenSAFELY codelists
- Long acting opioids greater than or equal to 120mg per day OME BNF
-
User requirements
A codelist is needed of all long acting opioids with an oral morphine equivalence (OME) of >= 120mg - used for analgesia (any route) excluding cough suppression, motility, general anaesthesia, opiate use disorder - this is for a project looking at opioid prescribing for patients on hospital waiting lists.
Sensitivity versus specificity
Any opioid as a modified release formulation or transdermal patch with daily OME >=120mg based on standard dosing.
