    ObjectiveTo determine the effect of preoperative opioid use disorder (OUD) on postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and heart valve surgery.DesignRetrospective, observational study using data from the State Inpatient Database and the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project.SettingInpatient data from Florida, California, New York, Maryland, and Kentucky between 2007 and 2014.ParticipantsA total of 377,771 CABG patients and 194,469 valve surgery patients age ≥18 years.InterventionsNone.Measurements And Main ResultsThe prevalence of OUD was 2,136 (0.57%) in the CABG group and 2,020 (1.04%) in the valve surgery group. There was no significant difference in mortality between the OUD and non-OUD groups in both surgical cohorts (both p > 0.05). On adjusted analyses, preoperative OUD was significantly associated with increased adjusted odds ratios (aORs) of 30-day hospital readmission (CABG aOR 1.47 [95% confidence interval {CI} 1.30-1.66]; valve surgery aOR 1.41 [95% CI 1.27-1.56]) and 90-day hospital readmission (CABG aOR 1.47 [95% CI 1.31-1.64]; valve surgery aOR 1.33 [95% CI 1.23-1.43]). Preoperative OUD was significantly associated with increased adjusted risk ratios (aRRs) of hospital length of stay (CABG aRR 1.13 [95% CI 1.10-1.16]; valve surgery aRR 1.63 [95% CI 1.54-1.72]) and total hospitalization charges (CABG aRR 1.05 [95% CI 1.03-1.07]; valve surgery aRR 1.28 [95% CI 1.24-1.32]).ConclusionPreoperative OUD is significantly associated with poorer outcomes after cardiac surgery, including increased 30- and 90-day readmissions, hospital length of stay, and total hospitalization charges. Opioid use should be considered a modifiable risk factor in cardiac surgery, and interventions should be attempted preoperatively.Copyright © 2020 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
