  • CCSR = Clinical Classifications Software Refined; ICD-10-CM = International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, Clinical Modification.

  • Note: Medical conditions were identified from the 2017-2021 Medical Expenditure Panel Survey (MEPS). Percentage of the population is the percent of the adult population reporting a medical condition associated with a medical event, the percentage of the population with the condition and any gabapentinoid, and percentage of individuals reporting a gabapentinoid among individuals with the condition. The unadjusted odds ratio represents the odds ratio of an individual uses a gabapentinoid if they reported the medical condition compared with individuals who did not report the condition.

  • a Odds ratios have a P <0.001.
