Résumé
Background
Arthroscopic shoulder surgery is a minimally invasive treatment; however, patients still experience significant postoperative pain. This study aimed to identify factors related to acute pain after shoulder arthroscopy and guide pain management.
Methods
This study included 272 patients who underwent shoulder arthroscopic surgery at our hospital between January 2020 and August 2021. Blood samples for apolipoprotein measurement were collected on the day before surgery after an overnight fast. Pain was assessed using the VAS at 24 h after surgery as the primary endpoint. Patients were divided into two groups according to pain levels 24 h after surgery: mild pain (VAS ≤3) and moderate-to-severe pain (VAS > 3). Logistic regression was used to analyze the relationships between postoperative pain and age, sex, BMI, injury type, method of operation, nerve block, and apolipoprotein levels.
