Porter and Jick Letter- Ground Zero To the Editor Recently we examined our current files to determine the incidence of narcotic addiction in 39946 hospitalized medical patients who were monitored consecutively Although there were 11882 patients who received at least one narcotic preparation there were only four cases of reasonably well-documented addiction in patients who had no history or addiction The addiction was considered major in only one instance The drugs implicated were meperidine in two patients Percodan in one andhydromorphone in one We conclude that despite widespread use of narcotic drugs in hospitals the development of addiction is rare in medical patients with no history of addiction Jane Porter Hershel Jick MD Boston Collaborative Drug Surveillance Program
