The rating scales from 0 to 3, with 0="none" and 3="strongly". Higher wellbeing values represent a better outcome.

NRS scales from 1 to 10, with 1 describing the lowest pain score and 10 the highest pain score. Lower NRS describes a better outcome.

  2. Administered milligram of opioids for pain medication

    Time frame: approximately 2 hours after surgery
