About
Dr. Stephen Kogut is a health services researcher whose work focuses on the intersection of pharmacoepidemiology, medication safety, and women's health. His research examines how prescribing patterns influence long-term patient outcomes, particularly regarding opioid use following surgical procedures. In a landmark 2020 study, Dr. Kogut investigated chronic opioid use in women after hysterectomy, identifying key predictors and patterns associated with prolonged opioid therapy. This work, which has garnered significant attention with 8 citations, provides critical insights into the relationship between initial opioid prescribing characteristics and the development of chronic use. By analyzing data from a large commercial health plan, his research offers evidence-based guidance for clinicians seeking to minimize the risk of opioid dependence in surgical patients. Dr. Kogut's contributions are particularly valuable in the context of the ongoing opioid crisis, as they help inform safer prescribing practices and highlight the need for targeted interventions in vulnerable populations. His work continues to shape clinical guidelines and policy discussions surrounding postoperative pain management.
