Randomized Controlled TrialThe PANSAID Randomized Clinical Trial: A pre-planned 1-year follow-up regarding harm.
Limiting harm from postoperative pain treatment is important. However, long-term follow-up from acute pain trials are rare. The aim of the study was to provide long-term follow-up data regarding harm from the "Paracetamol and Ibuprofen in Combination" (PANSAID) trial. ⋯ We found no statistically significant difference in 1-year serious adverse events between patients randomized to ibuprofen compared with paracetamol in patients having planned primary total hip arthroplasty. There were few additional events from the 90-day follow-up to the 1-year follow-up.

Meta AnalysisAnterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with the use of adductor canal block can achieve similar pain control as femoral nerve block.
Moderate-to-severe postoperative pain remains a challenge for both patients and surgeons after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The purpose of this study was to systematically review the current evidence in the literature to compare adductor canal block (ACB) with femoral nerve block (FNB) in the treatment of ACLR. ⋯ Meta-analysis of Level 1 was performed in this study.

To (1) report the frequency of postoperative opioid prescriptions after elbow arthroscopy, (2) evaluate whether filling opioid prescriptions preoperatively placed patients at increased risk of requiring more opioid prescriptions after surgery, and (3) determine patient factors associated with postoperative opioid prescription needs. ⋯ Level III, retrospective cohort study.

Outpatient postoperative pain management in spine patients, specifically involving the use of opioids, demonstrates significant variability. ⋯ We evaluated several predictive models for postoperative long-term opioid use in a large cohort of patients with LBP or LEP who underwent surgery. A regression-based model with high sensitivity and AUC is provided online to screen patients for high risk of long-term opioid use based on preoperative risk factors and opioid prescription patterns in the first 30 days after surgery. It is hoped that this work will improve identification of patients at high risk of prolonged opioid use and enable early intervention and counseling.

Observational Study
Caudal epidural block versus ultrasound-guided dorsal penile nerve block for pediatric distal hypospadias surgery: A prospective, observational study.
The surgery of hypospadias is very painful in the postoperative period and requires long-term analgesia. A dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB) and caudal epidural block (CEB) are commonly used regional anesthesia techniques for postoperative pain control. ⋯ NCT04215874.
