Factores asociados a la persistencia del dolor crónico postoperatorio en pacientes sometidos a procedimientos quirúrgicos de traumatología

Abstract

Abstract: Objective:To know the factors associated with the persistence of chronic pain in patients undergoing surgical procedures of traumatology.Method:Systematic literature review. A search strategy was carried out in databases such as Pubmed, Dialnet, Intranet (Autonomous University of Barcelona), BJA, Elsevier, and BMJ until June 2020; it was included: research works in hospitals including a random sample and a double-blind sample, studies whose population sample included patients up to 80 years of age and human studies that demonstrate factors associated with chronic postoperative pain (DCPO) in the department of traumatology. Systematic reviews, prospective studies, gray literature (doctoral theses), cohort and observational studies were included; Studies whose samplewas ambulatory procedures were excluded.Results:Twelve studies were selected between high and moderate quality. A strong association of pre, intra and postoperative risk factors with the development of DCPO was found in patients undergoing surgical trauma procedures.Conclusions: The preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative risk factors associated with DCPO must be identified in order to delimit the prevalence and incidence of DCPO.
