ESKD patients' opioid prescription rates decreased between 2011 and 2020. Higher mortality risk was associated with both short-term and long-term opioid prescriptions. Mortality risk was monotonically associated with morphine milligram equivalents in patients with kidney failure who received long-term opioid prescriptions.
