90% less likely to receive any pain-relieving medication. That's well beyond the gray area of "how much opioids should we give, more or less?"

- wittyreference 6y ago> There was no statistically significant difference in overall analgesia administration by race, but there was a statistically significant difference in opioid administration by race. Black children with appendicitis were less likely to receive opioid analgesia than white children (12.2% [95% CI, 0.1%-35.2%] vs 33.9% [95% CI, 0.6%-74.9%], respectively; adjusted OR = 0.2 [95% CI, 0.06-0.8]). No other covariates achieved statistical significance in the multivariable model. There difference between "any analgesia" and "opioids" in the pediatric population is almost entirely "ibuprofen." There was no difference in the administration of ibuprofen.
