The Opioid Risk Tool (ORT) is a brief risk-screening instrument used to estimate potential opioid misuse risk in chronic pain treatment contexts. It incorporates family/personal substance history, age range, trauma history, and psychological comorbidity profile.
Formula: ORT total is the sum of weighted risk factors, with common risk bands: 0-3 low, 4-7 moderate, >=8 high.
Higher ORT scores indicate higher potential opioid misuse risk and support stronger safety planning and follow-up.
Use during chronic pain assessment when opioid therapy is being considered or reviewed.
ORT is a screening aid and does not diagnose substance use disorder; predictive performance varies by population and setting.
