  2. Definition

    This codelist was taken from OpenCodelists, created by OpenSAFELY. We recommend viewing this Phenotype on the OpenCodelist website to view the most recent version.

    ##### User requirements A codelist is needed of all long acting opioids with an oral morphine equivalence (OME) of >\= 120mg - used for analgesia (any route) excluding cough suppression, motility, general anaesthesia, opiate use disorder - this is for a project looking at opioid prescribing for patients on hospital waiting lists.

    Sensitivity versus specificity

    Any opioid as a modified release formulation or transdermal patch with daily OME >\=120mg based on standard dosing.
