a
Defined as any prescription opioid availability in the 7 days from 358 to 365 days after hospital discharge.
b
Unsuccessful patterns of postoperative opioid availability according to our criteria.
c
Success was defined as occurring when a patient was in a lower opioid use classification assessed by the CONSORT definitions from 181 to 365 days postoperatively compared with preoperative status or when a patient met the criteria for no opioid availability.
