Implication

Persistent high pain after noncardiac surgery may signal need for better analgesia; this Level 3 evidence leaves open efficacy of targeted interventions.

Structured PICO

Population

Patients undergoing elective noncardiac surgery (common major surgical procedures)

Outcome

Pain scores (at rest, with movement, and maximum over previous 24 h) on a scale of 0 to 10 on Postoperative Days 1, 2, and 3patient reported
