Postoperative pain at Landspitali: A prospective study.

In our cohort, patients rated their current pain in the PACU similarly to other studies. However, the ratio of patients rating the worst pain experienced as moderate/severe on postoperative day one was relatively high. The identified patient- and procedural-related factors associated with higher odds of postoperative pain highlight a subgroup of patients who may benefit from enhanced perioperative monitoring and pain management strategies.
