Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The following primary parameters of use were: pain (by Visual Analogue Scale - EVA, total number of rescue analogs consumed and time required to consume the first rescue analog), edema and trismus. For this, statistical tests were performed, where the significance level of 5% was adopted. After analysis of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality, as means that obtain normal patterns between groups for each studied variable, they were compared using the paired t-test. Media with abnormal pattern were compared by Wilcoxon test. Values of "p" less than 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Overall, the best results were not found in the Dexamethasone 8mg plus Nimesulide 100mg group in the pain and trismus variables, but the differences for these variables were not statistically significant. However, the association of the group Dexamethasone 8mg plus Paracetamol 1g presents the best results in relation to postoperative edema, presenting a statistically significant difference at 48h. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The following secondary endpoint evaluated was patient satisfaction. For this, statistical tests were performed, where the significance level of 5% was adopted. After analysis of Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality, the means that showed abnormality patterns were thus compared using the Wilcoxon test. A value of “p” less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Overall, better results were found in the Dexamethasone 8mg plus Nimesulide 100mg group, but were not statistically significant. | — |
