Acute Postoperative Pain in Orthopaedic Trauma and Non‐Trauma Patients: An Analysis of the China Acute Postoperative Pain Study ( <scp>CAPOPS</scp> )
This study advances perioperative pain management by identifying trauma as an independent risk factor for moderate-to-severe postoperative pain in orthopaedic patients, with distinct risk profiles for trauma and non-trauma subgroups. Trauma patients reported higher pain levels, greater distress and increased analgesic needs. These findings directly inform clinical practice, emphasising the need for personalised, risk-stratified pain management to improve recovery. The results provide an evidence-based framework for optimising analgesia in both trauma and elective orthopaedic surgery.
