The transition from acute to chronic post surgical pain

Open access
Shipton, E. A.·2011·Anaesthesia and Intensive Care

Abstract

All chronic pain was once acute, but not all acute pain becomes chronic. The transition of acute postoperative pain to chronic post surgical pain is a complex and poorly understood developmental process. The manuscript describes the various factors associated with the transition from acute to chronic pain. The preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative surgical, psychosocial, socio-environmental and patient-related factors and the mechanisms involved are discussed and preventive (or limitation) strategies are suggested. In future, the increasing understanding of genetic factors and the transitional mechanisms involved may reveal important clues to predict which patients will go on to develop chronic pain. This may assist the development of appropriate interventions affecting not only the individual concerned, but also ultimately the community at large.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
