DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The epidemic of toxicity related to prescription opioid use among U.S. adults is thought to be related to drug abuse. Thus, the public health response has focused on programs to reduce non-medical uses. However, little attention has been given to the possibility of a parallel epidemic among children, particularly vulnerable to opioid toxicit. Preliminary Tennessee Medicaid data suggest this epidemic now possibly affects children: the proportion of children 2-17 years old prescribed opioid analgesics increased from 5% in 1996 to 11% in 2007, with a comparable trend in medical care possibly consistent with opioid toxicity. What is the appropriate public health response to this potential threat to the safety of children? Because children's prescriptions must be filled by a parent or guardian, non-medical use is less plausible, particularly for young children. For this reason, pediatric opioid toxicity is most likey to be an unintended consequence of therapeutic use, which would need to be considered as part of prescription risk-benefit evaluation. Thus, there is an urgent need to quantify the incidence of opioid toxicity in children to inform pediatric practitioners' decision-making. Furthermore, opioid prescribing practices associated with elevated risk need to be identified so these can be avoided when possible. Potentially hazardous practices include higher doses, high-potency opioids such as oxycodone, and concurrent central nervous system depressants. To address this unmet public health need, we will conduct a large retrospective cohort study in an estimated 500,000 Tennessee Medicaid children 2-17 years of age with 1,000,000 filled opioid prescriptions and 1400 confirmed cases of opioid toxicity. There are two specific aims: Aim 1. Quantify the incidence of toxicity related to prescription opioid use according to a) the child's age, b) toxicity severity, and c) whether or not the toxicity was related to therapeutic use. Aim 2 Test the hypothesis that opioid toxicity risk increases with: a) increased opioid dose, b) high-potency opioids, and c) concurrent use of other CNS-depressant drugs. These data on the risks of opioid medications increasingly used by children will provide a sound basis for altering pediatric practice to address a novel threat to the safety of this vulnerable population.

描述（由申请人提供）：美国成年人中与处方阿片类药物使用相关的毒性流行被认为与药物滥用有关。因此，公共卫生应对措施的重点是减少非医疗用途的计划。然而，很少有人关注儿童中同时流行的可能性，特别是容易受到阿片类药物中毒的儿童。田纳西州医疗补助的初步数据表明，这种流行病现在可能会影响儿童：2-17 岁儿童服用阿片类镇痛药的比例从 1996 年的 5% 增加到 2007 年的 11%，医疗保健中的类似趋势可能与阿片类药物中毒一致。针对这种对儿童安全的潜在威胁，适当的公共卫生对策是什么？由于儿童处方药必须由父母或监护人配药，因此非医疗用途不太可能，特别是对于年幼的儿童。因此，儿科阿片类药物毒性很可能是治疗使用的意外后果，需要将其视为处方风险效益评估的一部分。因此，迫切需要量化其发生率 儿童阿片类药物毒性，为儿科医生的决策提供信息。此外，阿片类药物 需要确定与高风险相关的处方做法，以便尽可能避免这些做法。潜在危险的做法包括使用较高剂量、高效阿片类药物（如羟考酮）以及同时使用中枢神经系统抑制剂。为了解决这一未满足的公共卫生需求，我们将对估计 500,000 名 2-17 岁田纳西州医疗补助儿童进行一项大型回顾性队列研究，其中包括 1,000,000 张阿片类药物处方和 1400 例阿片类药物中毒确诊病例。有两个具体目标： 目标 1. 根据 a) 儿童年龄，b) 毒性严重程度，以及 c) 毒性是否与治疗用途相关，量化与处方阿片类药物使用相关的毒性发生率。目标 2 检验阿片类药物毒性风险随着以下因素增加的假设：a) 增加阿片类药物剂量，b) 高效阿片类药物，以及 c) 同时使用其他中枢神经系统抑制药物。这些关于儿童越来越多地使用阿片类药物风险的数据将为改变儿科实践提供坚实的基础，以解决对这一弱势群体安全的新威胁。
