Key result
Higher preoperative pain catastrophizing predicted greater postoperative pain intensity at 48 hours in cardiac surgery patients (β = 1.87; 95% CI 0.53-3.21).

Does preoperative pain catastrophizing predict postoperative pain intensity in cardiac surgery patients?
Effect estimate: β = 1.87 (95% CI 0.53-3.21)
Preoperative pain catastrophizing independently predicts higher postoperative pain intensity at 48 hours in cardiac surgery patients.
Khan et al. (2012) conducted a cohort in Cardiac surgery (n=64). Preoperative pain catastrophizing vs. Lower preoperative pain catastrophizing (below median) was evaluated on Pain intensity at 48 hours postoperatively (β = 1.87, 95% CI 0.53-3.21). Higher preoperative pain catastrophizing predicted greater postoperative pain intensity at 48 hours in cardiac surgery patients (β = 1.87; 95% CI 0.53-3.21).
