Newswise — CHICAGO – Women are at significantly greater risk of depression following brain injury than men. People with opioid use disorder are nearly five times more likely to overdose following surgery. Black, Hispanic and Asian children are less likely to receive tubes commonly used to treat ear infections. These findings are among the significant research to be unveiled at ANESTHESIOLOGY® 2023, the annual meeting of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA), Oct. 13-17 in San Francisco.
