OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to define the proportion of children who seek assistance for poorly controlled fracture pain, identify factors associated with requesting help, and explore caregivers' opioid preferences.
METHODS: We enrolled 251 children and their caregivers in the orthopedic surgery clinic of a tertiary care children's hospital. Children 5 to 17 years old presenting within 10 days of injury for follow-up for a single-extremity, nonoperative long bone fracture(s) were eligible. The primary outcome was seeking unscheduled evaluation or advice for poorly controlled pain before the first routine follow-up appointment by telephone call, medical visit, or rescheduling to an earlier appointment. Factors associated with the outcome were assessed using bivariable analysis.
RESULTS: Overall, 7.3% (95% confidence interval, 4.1%-10.6%) of participants sought unscheduled evaluation or advice for poorly controlled pain. The 2 most common reasons were to obtain over-the-counter analgesic dosage information (64.7%) and a stronger analgesic (29.4%). These children were more likely to have a leg fracture, have an overriding or translated fracture, or require manual reduction under procedural sedation. These children had higher Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Pain Behavior and Pain Interference scores and more anxious caregivers. One-third of caregivers expressed hesitancy or refusal to use opioids to treat severe pain, and 45.7% reported potential addiction or abuse as the rationale.
CONCLUSIONS: A notable proportion of children seek assistance for poorly controlled fracture-related pain. Medical providers should target discharge instructions to the identified risk factors and engage caregivers in shared decision making if opioids are recommended.
