Pain AND Opioids After Surgery (PANDOS)

December 18, 2024 updated by: University of Aberdeen

Pain and Opioids After Surgery (PANDOS) Study

The aim of this study is to document the perioperative opioid use and its safety in the UK and countries in Europe and to describe its association with surgical complications, persistent pain and quality of life. In an international, prospective, observational cohort study, data about the perioperative pain management will be collected in all eligible hospitalised adult patients who undergo surgery in a designated "study week" in as many hospitals as possible in Europe. Baseline data will be collected, and participants followed up at one week, and at three and twelve months post-operatively. The primary outcome will be opioid use at three months after surgery. Secondary outcomes will include opioid use during the preoperative month (preoperative use), during surgery and up to one week after surgery (or discharge, whichever is earlier), and up to the end of the postoperative year. Additional secondary outcomes are the incidence of preoperative pain, persistent pain with/without the presence of neuropathic components, quality of life and surgical complications. The potential association between opioid use and pain outcomes will be investigated. This study could help to develop strategies to improve quality of care, through pain management, for patients undergoing surgery.

Detailed Description

PANDOS is an international, prospective, observational cohort study. In a one week period (the designated "study week"), data will be collected in all eligible hospitalised adult patients who undergo surgery in as many hospitals as possible in the UK and Europe. Participants will be followed up for 12 months

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

All eligible patients undergoing surgery at the hospital during the designated study week

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • hospitalised adult patients (18 years and older) undergoing any inpatient surgery (elective or emergency) during the designated study week where an anaesthetist is involved (general anaesthetic, sedation, local anaesthetic).

Able to understand and has capacity to give written informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) grade V or VI

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
