Identification of pain-related psychological risk factors for the development and maintenance of pediatric chronic postsurgical pain
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: The goals of this study were to examine the trajectory of pediatric chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) over the first year after surgery and to identify acute postsurgical predictors of CPSP. METHODS: Eighty-three children aged 8-18 years (mean 13.8, standard deviation 2.4) who underwent major orthopedic or general surgery completed pain and pain-related psychological measures at 48-72 hours, 2 weeks (pain anxiety and pain measures only), and 6 and 12 months after surgery. RESULTS: Results showed that 1 year after surgery, 22% of children developed moderate to severe CPSP with minimal functional disability. Children who reported a Numeric Rating Scale pain-intensity score ≥ 3 out of 10 two weeks after discharge were more than three times as likely to develop moderate/severe CPSP at 6 months and more than twice as likely to develop moderate/severe CPSP at 12 months than those who reported a Numeric Rating Scale pain score < 3 (6-month relative risk 3.3, 95% confidence interval 1.2-9.0 and 12-month relative risk 2.5, 95% confidence interval 0.9-7.5). Pain unpleasantness predicted the transition from acute to moderate/severe CPSP, whereas anxiety sensitivity predicted the maintenance of moderate/severe CPSP from 6 to 12 months after surgery. CONCLUSIONS: This study highlights the prevalence of pediatric CPSP and the role played by psychological variables in its development/maintenance. Risk factors that are associated with the development of CPSP are different from those that maintain it.

Chronic postsurgical pain is a highly prevalent public health problem associated with substantial emotional, social, and economic costs.

The Background reports chronic postsurgical pain prevalence estimates, and the Results report moderate-to-severe pain in 22% of children one year after surgery. But the paper does not establish substantial emotional, social, or economic costs; the Results describe minimal functional disability, and the Discussion says most affected children did not have high levels of disability. (LLM, conf=0.86)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe one-year incidence of moderate-to-severe chronic postsurgical pain is approximately 22% for children.
“the one-year incidence of moderate-to-severe CPSP is ~12% and ~22% for adults6 and children,7 respectively.”

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.
