Responsiveness of multiple patient-reported outcome measures for acute postsurgical pain: primary results from the international multi-centre PROMPT NIT-1 study
Authors' conclusion
Pain-related patient-reported outcome measures have low to moderate sensitivity-to-change
Study context
- Population
- Patients undergoing total knee replacement, breast surgery, endometriosis-related surgery or sternotomy2,661 analysed
- Participants
- 3,322 patients
- Outcome
- Sensitivity-to-change of patient-reported outcome measures:
- Changes d1-d3 correlated with patients' global
- Specific impression of change as anchors
- Follow-up
- D1-d3
