Risk Factors for Severe Pain and Impairment of Daily Life Activities after Cesarean Section—A Prospective Multi-Center Study of 11,932 Patients
Cesarean section (CS) is the most widely performed and one of the most painful surgeries. This study investigated postoperative pain after CS using patient-related outcomes (PROs) to identify risk factors for severe pain. The secondary outcome was to evaluate the influence of surgery indication (pri...

description | Cesarean section (CS) is the most widely performed and one of the most painful surgeries. This study investigated postoperative pain after CS using patient-related outcomes (PROs) to identify risk factors for severe pain. The secondary outcome was to evaluate the influence of surgery indication (primary CS (PCS) vs. urgent CS (UCS)). This multi-center, prospective cohort study included data submitted to the pain registry “quality improvement in postoperative pain treatment” (QUIPS) between 2010 and 2020. In total, 11,932 patients were evaluated. Median of maximal pain was 7.0 (numeric rating scale (NRS) 0 to 10); 53.9% suffered from severe pain (NRS ≥ 7), this being related to impairment of mood, ambulation, deep breathing and sleep, as well as more vertigo, nausea and tiredness (p < 0.001). Distraction, relaxation, mobilization, having conversations, patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) and pain monitoring were shown to be protective for severe pain (p < 0.001). Maximal pain in PCS and UCS was similar, but UCS obtained more analgesics (p < 0.001), and experienced more impairment of ambulation (p < 0.001) and deep breathing (p < 0.05). Severe pain has a major effect on daily-life activities and recovery after CS, and depends on modifiable factors. More effort is needed to improve the quality of care after CS. |
