From: Opioid use in medical cannabis authorization adult patients from 2013 to 2018: Alberta, Canada
Baseline OME | OR (95% CI) | Number of patients in each sub-group | Proportion of cease opioid after index date, n (%), in each sub-group | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Control | Authorized | Control | Authorized | ||
OME ≤ 50 | 0.55 (0.49, 0.62) | 2821 | 2821 | 2073 (73.5%) | 1710 (60.6%) |
50 < OME ≤ 100 | 0.46 (0.38, 0.56) | 807 | 807 | 485 (60.1%) | 331 (41.0%) |
OME > 100 | 0.34 (0.28, 0.42) | 1103 | 1103 | 635 (57.7%) | 360 (32.6%) |
