Analgesic addiction and risk of pseudoaddiction among patients with sickle cell disease were measured by symptom counts, using an interview method for classifying symptoms as pain-related (pseudoaddiction) or non-pain-related (analgesic addiction). Concern-raising drug-use behaviors and treatment requirements for pain were also assessed, and participants completed the pain-coping strategies questionnaire. Qualitative case descriptions of patients meeting criteria for analgesic addiction and pseudoaddiction were examined to identify common and distinctive features of the two groups. Consistent with predictions, multiple regression analyses showed that disputes about analgesics were independently associated with risk of pseudoaddiction. Physiological dependence and illicit drug use were both associated w...Continue Reading
