To evaluate racial/ethnic differences in post-operative pain experience and opioid medication use (morphine milligram equivalent) in the first 24 h following cesarean birth. This study was a single-center retrospective cohort of birthing persons who underwent cesarean deliveries between 1/1/16 and 12/31/17. A total of 2,228 cesarean deliveries were analyzed. The primary outcome was average pain, which was the mean of all documented self-reported pain scores (0–10 scale) during the first 24 h post-delivery. The secondary outcome included oral morphine equivalents used in the first 24 h post-delivery. Linear regression was performed to examine whether the race/ethnicity of the birthing parent was associated with mean pain scores and oral morphine equivalents, controlling for confounding variables. In multivariate analyses non-Hispanic Black birthing persons reported higher mean pain scores (Coefficient: 0.61, 95% confidence interval [0.39–0.82],  p  &lt; .001]) than non-Hispanic White birthing persons, but received similar quantities of morphine milligram equivalent (Coefficient: −0.98 mg, 95% confidence interval [−5.93–3.97],  p  = .698]). Non-Hispanic Asian birthing persons reported similar reported mean pain scores to those of non-Hispanic White birthing persons (Coefficient: 0.02 mg, 95% confidence interval [−0.17–0.22],  p  = .834]), but received less morphine milligram equivalent (Coefficient: −5.47 mg, 95% confidence interval [−10.05 to −0.90],  p  = .019). When controlling for reported mean pain scores, both non-Hispanic Black (Coefficient: −6.36 mg, 95% confidence interval [−10.97 to −1.75],  p  = .007) and non-Hispanic Asian birthing persons (Coefficient: −5.66 mg, 95% confidence interval [−9.89 to −1.43],  p  = .009) received significantly less morphine milligram equivalents. Despite reporting higher mean pain scores, non-Hispanic Black birthing persons did not receive higher quantities of morphine milligram equivalent. Non-Hispanic Asian birthing persons received lower quantities of morphine milligram equivalent despite reporting similar pain scores to non-Hispanic White birthing persons. These differences suggest disparities in post-operative pain management for birthing persons of color in our study population.
