Why the study?
The study aimed to prospectively examine the prevalence and risk factors of post-operative chronic pain in the first three months after coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
What is the prevalence and what are the risk factors for postoperative chronic pain in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery?
Population
110 patients undergoing CABGS in a university hospital
Comparison
Patients with POCP vs patients without POCP
Design
Prospective study
Follow-up
3 months
Key result
Postoperative chronic pain occurred in 35.5% of patients within three months after coronary artery bypass graft surgery, with significantly higher incidence in females and those with severe preoperative anxiety.
Loading...
POCP after CABG merits routine screening; leaves open modifiable risk-factor identification before practice change.
Cohort (n=110)
No
What is the prevalence and what are the risk factors for postoperative chronic pain in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery?
Postoperative chronic pain affects approximately one-third of patients after CABG surgery, with higher risk in females and those with severe preoperative anxiety.
A 2021 study conducted a cohort in Coronary artery bypass graft surgery (n=110). Coronary artery bypass graft surgery was evaluated on Incidence of postoperative chronic pain (POCP) at 3 months. Postoperative chronic pain occurred in 35.5% of patients within three months after coronary artery bypass graft surgery, with significantly higher incidence in females and those with severe preoperative anxiety.
