post operative pain, opioid use, urogynecologic surgery
Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to determine if the investigators can precisely predict how much pain medication the subjects will need after surgery using a special calculator that was developed for this purpose.
Interventions
Our research group previously created an Opioid calculator that can be used to predict the number of opioids needed post-operatively based on patient health history and characteristics.
Patients will receive prescription for post-operative opioids based on what the attending surgeon usually provides.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in pain scores measured by team-created pain questionnaires | baseline, 1 week post-op, 2 weeks post-op | Pain questionnaire is a 2 question survey that ask patients to rate pain on scale of 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst pain) immediately post-op and current. Baseline will be calculated by asking patient's expected post-op pain score. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Change in satisfaction scores measured by team-created questionnaire | 1 week post-op, 2 weeks post-op | Questionnaire is a 1 question survey that ask patients to rate their satisfaction with their pain control on scale of 0 (totally unsatisfied) to 10 (totally satisfied) immediately post-op and current. |
| Change in number of opioid tablets remaining measured by team-created questionnaire | 1 week post-op, 2 weeks post-op | Patients will be asked the number of tablets remaining from their opioid prescriptions. |
