Overview

Observational analysis reveals parental views on using the FLACC scale for pain assessment at home, suggesting its effectiveness.

Key Points

  • This analysis aims to explore parental perspectives on the FLACC scale for assessing postoperative pain and its agreement with the NRS.
  • Conducted a prospective observational study involving parents of children undergoing orchiopexy.
  • Parents assessed pain using the FLACC scale and Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) after discharge.
  • A questionnaire was completed by parents to gather their perspectives on the FLACC scale.
  • 90% of parents found the FLACC scale easy to use.
  • 85% considered it useful for pain assessment.
  • There was good agreement between NRS and FLACC scores, with an ICC of 0.84.
