Clinical Trial Summary

Chronic postoperative pain (CPP) remains a disturbing and obscure clinical problem, which could last for more than 3 months after surgery. The aim of present study was to assess the prevalence of CPP, investigate its impact on life quality and explore its potential risk factors. After informed consent was signed, patients receiving surgery under general anesthesia in Peking Union Medical College Hospital and other medical centers participating in this study during 2018 will be included. Patients' preoperative information will be collected from medical record, including basic demographic data, primary disease and previous chronic diseases. Intraoperative information will be obtained from anesthesia record, including surgical scope, duration, length and location of incisions and blood loss. Acute pain will be evaluated in the ward of the department of surgery, when an app will be installed on patients' mobile phones. Our long-term postoperative follow-up would be performed by sending out survey questionnaires via this app in the 4th, 8th, 16th, 32th, and 48th weeks after surgery. The survey covers questions regarding the intensity, characteristic, location and impact on daily activities of CPP. Information regarding treatment of CPP will also be collected, if any. All the data gained will be summarized in our database and analyzed.


Description:

Chronic postoperative pain (CPP) remains a disturbing and obscure clinical problem, which could persist beyond wound healing phase and last for more than 3 months after surgery. The prevalence of CPP after sternotomy is estimated to be as high as 14%-61%, according to several recent studies. However, CPP following other types of surgeries has not been well evaluated. There is paucity of literature regarding the impact of CPP on daily life as well. Additionally, the identification of predisposing factors for CPP would provide clues for its prevention and treatment. The aim of present study was to assess the prevalence of CPP, investigate its impact on life quality and explore its potential risk factors.

After informed consent was signed, patients receiving surgery under general anesthesia during 2018 will be included. The sample size in Peking Union Medical College Hospital is estimated to be approximately 700. Furthermore, we are trying to contact with other large hospitals in China to make a multi-center study.

Patients' preoperative information will be collected from medical record, including basic demographic data, primary disease (tumor size, location and peripheral invasion) and previous chronic diseases (hypertension, diabetes, coronary heart disease, chronic kidney disease, anxiety and depression). Intraoperative information will be obtained from anesthesia record, including surgical scope, duration, length and location of incisions and blood loss. Postoperative pain control methods can be learned from medical orders. Acute pain will be evaluated in the ward of the department of surgery before discharge. At the same time, an app will be installed on patients' mobile phones. Our long-term postoperative follow-up would be performed by sending out survey questionnaires via this app in the 4th, 8th, 16th, 32th, and 48th weeks after surgery. The survey covers questions regarding the intensity (Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating Scale), characteristic, location and impact on daily activities (Brief Pain Index, BPI) of CPP. Furthermore, information regarding treatment of CPP will also be collected, if any. All the data obtained from app could be included into our database and statistically analyzed.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary The prevalence of chronic postoperative pain The prevalence of chronic postoperative pain reported by the included patients in the questionnaire issued by app 24 weeks postoperatively
Secondary The prevalence of chronic postoperative pain The prevalence of chronic postoperative pain reported by the included patients in the questionnaire issued by app 4,8,12,16,20,32,40,48 weeks postoperatively
Secondary Wong-Baker Faces Pain Rating Scale The intensity of CPP will be evaluated by Wong-Baker FACES Pain Rating. The scale shows a series of faces ranging from a happy face at 0 which represents "no hurt" to a crying face at 10 which represents "hurts worst." Scale. 4,8,12,16,20,24,32,40,48 weeks postoperatively
Secondary Characteristics and location of chronic postoperative pain The common characteristics and location of CPP will also be summarized according to the patients' choice in survey. 4,8,12,16,20,24,32,40,48 weeks postoperatively
Secondary Brief Pain Index Brief Pain Index will be used to assess the impact of chronic postoperative pain on daily life. 4,8,12,16,20,24,32,40,48 weeks postoperatively
