Pain, Postoperative
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a prospective descriptive correlational design looking to characterize postoperative pain variables across various procedures that historically have significant levels of persistent post-surgical pain
Detailed description
This is a two institution (Naval Medical Center San Diego and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center) prospective descriptive correlational design looking to characterize postoperative pain variables across various procedures that historically have significant levels of persistent post-surgical pain. A total goal of 1500 subjects (750 subjects at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and 750 subjects at Naval Medical Center San Diego) will be queried regarding their postoperative pain experience following mastectomy, thoracic surgery, total knee arthroplasty, total hip arthroplasty, spinal fusion, and major abdominal surgery. Descriptive multidimensional tools (the Defense and Veterans Pain Rating Scale (DVPRS) and the electronic Pain Assessment Screening Tool and Outcomes Registry (PASTOR) will be used preoperatively, as an inpatient, and up to 6 months postoperatively.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DVPRS | perioperatively to 6 months | To determine how predictive PASTOR/PROMIS measures are for moderate to severe acute postoperative pain as measured by the DVPRS within the first 48 hours postoperatively for all surgical groups and between surgical groups. |
| PASTOR/PROMIS | perioperatively to 6 months | To assess any predictive/correlative capability of early postoperative PASTOR/PROMIS measures (7 days,14 days, and 1 month postoperatively) in the prediction of persistent pain at 3 and 6 months for all surgical groups and between surgical groups |
| Pain phenotypes | perioperatively to 6 months | To describe various pain phenotypes via multidimensional pain measures throughout the subacute (7 days to 6 months) perioperative period. This description will focus on certain time points but also how such measures change over time (ie pain trajectories) |
