Each year, the editors of NEJM Journal Watch General Medicine choose the most important thematic areas in clinical research for the year. We try to strike a balance among relevance to primary care, recognition of landmark studies, and acknowledgment of media publicity and public awareness. Topics can emerge from one important study or from several studies during the year. In 2016, important research on opioid prescribing patterns was published. Let’s discuss the newest data on inappropriate opioid use and how to combat patients’ pain without contributing to this ongoing problem.
