Résumé
To evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative gabapentinoid administration. Retrospective hospital registry study. Tertiary referral center (Boston, MA). 111,008 adult non-emergency, non-cardiac surgical patients between 2014 and 2018. Preoperative administration of gabapentinoids (gabapentin or pregabalin). We tested the primary hypothesis that preoperative gabapentinoid use was associated with lower odds of hospital readmission within 30 days. Contingent on this hypothesis, we examined whether lower intraoperative opioid utilization mediated this effect. Secondary outcome was postoperative respiratory complications. Gabapentinoid administration was associated with lower odds of readmission (adjusted odds ratio [OR The preoperative use of pregabalin and gabapentin, up to doses of 75 and 300 mg respectively, mitigates the risks of hospital readmission and postoperative respiratory complications which can in part be explained by lower intraoperative opioid use. Further research is warranted to elucidate mechanisms of the preventive action.
