Study Summary

Each year, in the U.S. alone, \>6 million children undergo painful surgery; up to 50% of them experience significant and serious side effects with opioids and inadequate pain relief. Though 60% of this inter-individual variability in responses results from genetic variations, there is an almost complete lack of understanding of how specific genetic variability affects pain and of the adverse effects of opioids, especially in children. In this project the investigators will focus on oxycodone, a standard and preferred post-surgical oral analgesic in children The purpose of this research is to study serious immediate and long-term clinical problems from both surgical pain and oxycodone use in children and adolescents to improve the safety and effectiveness of surgical pain relief. The long-term goals are to improve the safety and effectiveness of surgical pain relief with opioids (a class of drugs/pain relievers) and to minimize the societal burden of disabling Chronic Persistent Surgical Pain (CPSP, which is pain that persists even after the expected healing time from surgery) and Opioid Dependence (OD) by preoperative risk predictions and personalized care with the right dose of the right pain medication for each child. The overall objective is to determine the impact of risk factors on oxycodone's immediate and long-term negative postoperative outcomes and to personalize dosing in children undergoing outpatient and major inpatient surgery.
