What are the predictors of acute postsurgical pain following gastrointestinal surgery?
Preoperative anxiety, expected pain, and analgesic consumption predict acute postsurgical pain severity after gastrointestinal surgery.
May aid APSP risk stratification before GI surgery; hypothesis-generating for targeted interventions.
These results suggested that the predictors for APSP intensity following gastrointestinal surgery included analgesic consumption, preoperative anxiety, and expected postsurgical pain, which were also the risk factors for APSP severity.
