Based on work from Von Korff et al, 20 Boudreau et al, 5 and Campbell et al, 41 these diagnoses were all identified as being associated with long term use of opioids at Group Health and KP Northern California over the ten-year period from Inclusion Criteria: Overall, two groups of diagnoses were included: (1) Non-specific chronic pain (NCP): General chronic pain and migraines, tension headache, abdominal pain, hernia, kidney/gall stones, menstrual pain, neuropathy, temporomandibular pain (2) Chronic musculoskeletal pain (CMP): back pain, neck pain, fibromyalgia, arthritis, carpal tunnel, limb-extremity pain, pain in joint, "other" CMP, osteoarthritis, fractures and contusions, costochrondritis and intracostal muscle injury To meet the definition of having diagnosed chronic pain pre-bariatric surgery, the individual must have at least two clinic, , or phone encounters with CMP and/or NCP diagnoses from the list below. There must be at least 90 days elapsed between the first such encounter and the last such encounter in the year prior to surgery. b Any of these diagnoses associated with physical therapy or rehabilitation departments/providers were not included. c Individuals were not classified as having diagnosed chronic pain if they had a diagnosis of malignant cancer or dementia or psychosis in the year prior to bariatric surgery d Except for non-melanoma skin cancer (ICD9 code 173)

Proportions across the three opioid types sum greater than 100% because individuals could possess more than one type of opioid during the same time period of interest.
