BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Although prescribing opioid medication on a limited basis for postoperative pain control is common practice, few studies have focused on chronic opioid use following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF).PURPOSE: To determine the prevalence of and risk factors for chronic opioid use following one and two-level ACDF for degenerative cervical pathology.DESIGN: Retrospective cohort.PATIENT SAMPLE: Using an insurance claims database, we identified patients aged 18-64 who underwent one or two-level primary ACDF from 2010 to 2015 for degenerative cervical pathology.OUTCOME MEASURES: Opioid prescription strength at various timepoints pre- and postoperatively and development of chronic postoperative opioid use.METHODS: Prescription opioid use was examined during the following periods: 90 days before 7 days preceding surgery (preoperative), 6 days preceding surgery to 90 days following surgery (perioperative) and from 91 to 365 days following surgery (postoperative). The primary outcome was chronic postoperative opioid use, defined as >= 120 days' supply of opioid prescriptions filled or >= 10 opioid prescriptions between 3 and 12 months postoperatively. Secondary outcomes were high-dose (>90 morphine milligram equivalents [MME]/day) and very high-dose (>200 MME/day) opioid prescriptions. A multivariate logistic model (area under the ROC curve 0.75, p
