Study context
- Population
- Perioperative (postoperative) pain management; international, multiprofessional stakeholder panel
- Outcome
- Final core outcome set (COS) of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in postoperative pain
Methodological detailssystematic literature searches, COSMIN appraisal of psychometric properties, consensus meetings, international multiprofessional panel including people with lived experience

Recommendations
As reported in the abstract
Final COS of PROMs
- Pain intensity (average, worst, at rest, procedure-specific during activity): one unidimensional NRS
- Pain interfering with activities in bed: one unidimensional scale
- Physical function: one procedure-specific scale
- Self-efficacy: IMI-PainCare PROMPT adaptation of the Arthritis Self-Efficacy Scale
- Adverse events: IMI-PainCare PROMPT adaptation of the Opioid-Related Symptom Distress Scale
