Predictors of Postoperative Pain and Analgesic Consumption: A Qualitative Systematic Review (2009, background): “As a result, the pain may persist beyond apparent tissue healing, leading to chronic postsurgical pain syndromes.(85) A growing body of evidence suggests that improvement in postoperative pain management might disrupt the transition to chronicity of pain.”
Efficacy of postoperative epidural analgesia: a meta-analysis. (2003, methodology): “Study location Europe 63 (51) United States 25 (20) Canada 20 (16) Asia/Australia 14 (11) Multiple 2 (2) Study population, sex Both 79 (64) Women 26 (21) Men 7 (6) Unspecified 12 (9) Surgical site Abdominal 45 (36) Thoracic 30 (24) Lower extremity 15 (12) Cesarean delivery 13 (11) Pelvic 13 (11) Spi”
Persistent pain after joint replacement: Prevalence, sensory qualities, and postoperative determinants (2011, background): “Despite the magnitude of this condition, only a very limited number of reviews have been published on the topic to date [20,23,31–33,43].”
Prediction of chronic post‐operative pain: Pre‐operative DNIC testing identifies patients at risk (2008, background): “What are the clinical implications of these findings? Chronic pain generally and chronic post-operative pain specifically are currently accepted as diseases on their own merit, being relatively common and often resistant to therapy [1,8,15,19,27].”
A Qualitative and Quantitative Systematic Review of Preemptive Analgesia for Postoperative Pain Relief: The Role of Timing of Analgesia (2002, result): “This assumption may be supported by data suggesting that patients with high intensity of acute postoperative pain scores also have a higher risk of developing a chronic pain state.(110) In the only trial to compare the effect of identical preincisional versus postincisional treatment(77) on long-ter”
Consequences of inadequate postoperative pain relief and chronic persistent postoperative pain. (2005, background): “Nerve injury such as intercostobrachial nerve injury during breast surgery or intercostal nerve injury during thoracotomy also contributes to chronic pain [5,6,49,60].”
Severity of Acute Pain After Childbirth, but not Type of Delivery, Predicts Persistent Pain and Postpartum Depression (2008, background): “Poorly controlled acute post-procedural pain may result in harmful physiologic and psychological consequences, including prolonged hospitalization and delayed return to normal activities [25], and is associated with an increased risk of chronic pain [13,20].”
Long-term analgesic use after low-risk surgery: a retrospective cohort study. (2012, neutral): “Specifically, laparoscopic cholecystectomy has been associated with chronic postsurgical pain in several studies, albeit in only a few patients.(22,24,25) However, if chronic pain is the only substantive factor governing long-term opioid or NSAID use in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystecto”
