Why the study?
Does the presence of ≥3 risk factors predict poor postoperative acute pain outcome in adult surgical patients?
Does the presence of ≥3 risk factors predict poor postoperative acute pain outcome in adult surgical patients?
A risk score identifying ≥3 risk factors can predict which adult patients are at higher risk for poor acute pain outcomes after surgery.
Patients with ≥3 risk factors are at higher risk for poor postoperative acute pain outcome after surgery. Future studies using this score might show that preventive strategies might decrease pain intensity, pain-related postoperative dysfunction, and the development of chronic pain.
