The Opioid Risk Tool (ORT) is an office-based, 5-question assessment designed to predict which patients may develop aberrant, drug-related behaviors based on known risk factors associated with abuse or addiction. The ORT can either be self-administered by the patient at the initial clinic visit or completed by the physician as part of the patient interview.
The ORT displayed excellent discrimination in predicting opioid abuse-related behaviors in a single-site study of 185 chronic-pain patients. Of the low-risk patients studied, 94% did not demonstrate any aberrant behavior, while in the high-risk patients, 91% did display an aberrant behavior. Of the medium risk patients, only 28% showed any opioid-related aberrant behavior.
