Summary

Moderate to severe acute postoperative pain (APP) during part of the postoperative period is a barrier that hinders the central objective of perioperative medicine, which is to achieve an optimal postoperative recovery process. Despite advances in perioperative medicine, a large proportion of post-operative patients continue to suffer from moderate to severe APS during many of the days of their convalescence. This poor control of APS, in addition to causing suffering and exposing the patient to an increased risk of complications, could impair the quality of post-surgical recovery , according to some authors. We therefore consider it to be of utmost interest in our field to corroborate whether the implementation of measures to better control DAP is related to a better quality of post-surgical recovery. Currently, the growing trend to take into account the perspective of patients in their care has prompted the development of various patient-centred measurement tools that, among other aspects, assess the quality of post-surgical recovery. Several scales have been designed. The most widely used are the QoR-40, QoR-9 and QoR-15 scales. The latter, with a range of 0 to 150, was developed to simplify assessment, especially in telephone follow-ups, and has a reliability similar to its predecessor, the QoR-40.
