Providing Standardized Consented PROMs (Patient Reported Outcome Measures) for Improving Pain Treatment

In order to reach this objective, a non-interventional prospective data collection aiming at reaching a consensus on a core set of PROMs which reliably predict and/or measure success in acute and chronic pain treatments in real life conditions and identifying predictors for chronification of postoperative pain will be conducted (PROMPT NIT-1). Aim of the data collection is to evaluate the abilities of certain PROMs in assessing acute post-surgical pain outcomes in daily routine care of patients after four different surgical procedures: (total knee replacement, breast surgery, sternotomy and surgery related to endometriosis), and to validate selected risk factors for chronification prospectively.
