Changes in consumption of opioid analgesics in Israel 2009 to 2016: An update focusing on oxycodone and fentanyl formulations
ConclusionsThe increase in opioid consumption persisted throughout the years 2009 to 2016. This has been associated with substantial changes in the patterns of prescribing opioids, characterized by increases in oxycodone and fentanyl prescriptions and decreases in morphine, methadone, and pethidine prescriptions. A national program aiming to ensure safe use of opioids in the treatment of chronic pain is warranted. (Source: Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety)

Agreement between paternal self ‐reported medication use and records from a national prescription database
ConclusionsThere is good agreement between paternal self‐report and prescription data for prescribed medications used chronically and substantially less for medications used episodically. Suboptimal agreement for episodic medications suggests poor recall (for questionnaires) or false positives due to noncompliance (prescription data). Not surprisingly, use of medications available both with and without a prescription is not well captured using prescription databases alone. (Source: Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety)

Chart validation of inpatient ICD ‐9‐CM administrative diagnosis codes for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) among intravenous immune globulin (IGIV) users in the Sentinel Distributed Database
ConclusionsThe PPVs for principal and secondary AMI diagnoses were high and similar to estimates from prior chart validation studies. Position‐unspecified diagnosis codes were less likely to represent true AMI cases. (Source: Pharmacoepidemiology and Drug Safety)
