Patient‐reported outcomes, postoperative pain and pain relief after day‐case surgery ( <scp>POPPY</scp> ): baseline data from day surgery practice in the <scp>UK</scp>
In the UK, over a third of patients presenting for day-case surgery are in pain, which is mostly chronic in duration. One in four have access to opioid medications and a little over one in 10 are using opioids daily. More than one in 10 do not receive their planned surgery as a day-case and readmission rates for day-case surgery do not meet suggested targets.
