PANDOS
The aim of this study is to document the perioperative (around the time of surgery) opioid use in the UK and countries in Europe and to describe its association with surgical complications, persistent pain and quality of life.
In an international, prospective, observational cohort study, data about the perioperative pain management will be collected in all eligible hospitalised adult patients who undergo surgery in a designated “study week” in as many hospitals as possible in the UK and Europe. Baseline data will be collected, and participants followed up at one week, and at three and twelve months post-operatively.
The primary outcome will be opioid use at three months after surgery.
