Is the consumption of other opiates similar? Is the U.S. consuming more narcotics period, or just more oxycodone per capita? May be valuable to investigate trends in Morphine-equivalents of all analgesics per capita in U.S. v. Europe.

Unfortunately, difference is not limited to oxycodone. In fact, difference for hydrocodone is even greater- US consumes 99% of world hydrocodone supply and about 79% of oxycodone supply. Morphine consumption is higher in the US but comparison is less striking.

What is causing increased consumption? Prescribing behaviours? Active marketing? Change in clinical guideline/practice? Would be good to know! regards from UK

Opioid prescribing soared from 1996 until 2012 in response to a brilliant, multi-faceted marketing campaign disguised as education & advocacy. See page 562: https://www.annualreviews.org/doi/pdf/10.1146/annurev-publhealth-031914-122957 …

There is a tight time and right place for these meds. Example if over comp on the pendulum swing. Too bad

Is it possible to do this analysis with the dataset you have while controlling for potential confounders? It is a compelling graphic, but I'd be curious to see what else may be lurking. For e.g. USA has higher Ortho procedures per capita vs many Euro countries
