In the survey, participants were asked how many oxycodone tablets they would prescribe for 14 common surgical procedures.
Answers were compared between residents and faculty, as well as against the Opioid Prescribing Engagement Network (OPEN) guidelines and actual opioids prescribed (pulled from electronic medical records).
