Revised Opioid Risk Tool (ORT-OUD)

Description

Calculates the Revised Opioid Risk Tool (ORT-OUD) score. This tool uses the standard ORT scoring algorithm to predict the risk of Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) in patients prescribed opioids for chronic pain. It stratifies risk based on personal and family history of substance abuse, age, history of preadolescent sexual abuse, and psychological disease, with gender-specific weighting.
