520 _aCONCLUSIONS: As one of the largest pain management studies among patients with cancer in the outpatient setting, covering 412 million patient visits, our study shows that a significant proportion of patients with cancer who reported pain did not receive a prescription for analgesics suggesting a possibility of undertreatment of pain.
520 _aIMPLICATIONS FOR CANCER SURVIVORS: Undertreatment of pain continues to remain a major unmet need in patients with cancer. Copyright © 2024. The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature.
520 _aMETHODS: We used the National Ambulatory Medical Care Survey data for outpatient visits from 2006 to 2018 for patients with any cancer and reporting pain. The primary outcome was prescription of pain medications among these patients. We performed multinomial logistic regression to identify factors associated with analgesic prescriptions among patients with cancer who reported pain.
520 _aPURPOSE: Up to 40% patients with cancer reporting pain may not receive optimal analgesia indicating inadequate treatment of pain. We examined the patterns of outpatient pain management in patients with cancer who reported pain.
520 _aRESULTS: We captured an estimated total of 412 million outpatient visits of which 22 million visits dealt with patients with cancer reporting pain. An estimated total of 13.8 million (61.33%) patient visits had pain reported but were not prescribed any pain medications. 5.5 million (24.44%) patient visits had non-opioid analgesic prescription while opioid analgesics were prescribed during 3.2 million (14.22%) visits. Patients who were black, aged 45-64 years, residing in rural geographical areas, visiting medical subspecialty practices, and having cancers of the respiratory and digestive systems had higher odds of receiving opioid prescription.
