Cross-Sectional (n=34)
No
Acute post-operative pain remains highly prevalent (88.5%) and is significantly associated with surgery type, age, and gender, highlighting the need for tailored pain management strategies.
Associations with surgery type, age, and gender suggest potential for personalized approaches; cross-sectional evidence leaves open prospective validation before practice change.
Acute post-operative pain prevalence is high 88.5% (95.0% CI = 81.2-95.8). It is the highest in the departments of orthopedic-traumatology and general surgery. Severe pain is observed during the first 24 hours after surgical intervention. Pain magnitude and severity are decreasing over time, however are largely dependable on surgery type. Several factors such as age, gender, surgery type showed different associated with APOP, which should be considered in acute postoperative pain management.
