Development and Validation of a Risk Prediction Model for Postoperative Visceral Pain in Abdominal Surgery Patients

This study aims to investigate the factors influencing the risk of postoperative visceral pain in patients undergoing abdominal surgery. The goal is to develop and validate a predictive model for assessing the risk of postoperative visceral pain, in order to guide individualized preoperative interventions and pain management strategies.

  • Classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status II-III;
  • Expected surgery duration ≥ 2 hours.

Exclusion criteria

  • Failure to complete postoperative pain follow-up.

Treatment and study plan

Observational assessment of clinical outcomes

Other

This is a non-interventional observational study. No treatment or behavioral intervention is administered.

Primary outcomes

  1. Pain intensity after surgery

    Time frame: From end of surgery to 48 hours postoperatively

    Pain intensity will be recorded at 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours after surgery. At each time point, the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) pain score will be assessed both at rest and during coughing. Pain intensity was assessed using number rating scale (0-10, higher score represents worse pain intensity)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Postoperative Length of Hospital Stay

    Time frame: From end of surgery to hospital discharge (up to 30 days)

    The total time from the end of surgery to hospital discharge will be recorded for each patient. The duration will be measured in days (d) and used to assess postoperative recovery.

  2. Postoperative Analgesic Use

    Time frame: From end of surgery to hospital discharge (up to 30 days)

    Detailed records will be kept of the types of analgesics administered postoperatively, the total dosage of each drug, and the frequency of use per day. This measure will help assess pain management and medication requirements after surgery.
