Opioids have been reported to increase the risk for sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in patients with noncancer chronic pain on opioid therapy. This study aims to determine the pooled prevalence of SDB in opioid users with chronic pain and compare it with patients with pain:no opioids and no pain:no opioids.
