Pain During Postanesthesia Care Unit and Ward Stay (Numeric Rating Scale - NRS)

Pain were assessed every 15 minutes during postanesthesia care unit, where zero meant no pain and 10 the worst imaginable pain (higher values represent worse outcome). Twenty four hours after surgery, patients were asked to describe the highest pain score (NRS) during ward stay. (NCT03035942)
Timeframe: 24 hours
