Figure 2. Median Risk Equivalence for a Low-to-Moderate (2%) Theoretical Risk of Opioid Addiction.
With a low-moderate risk of opioid addiction, median risk equivalence was not achieved (lines did not intersect). Even with a theoretical pain level of 8 on a 10-point scale, 51% (90% CI, 43.1%-56.7%) of respondents continued to prefer only OTCs over opioids plus OTCs for pain control after Mohs surgery. OTCs refers to over-the-counter medications.
