Review Meta Analysis
Perioperative Risk Factors for Persistent Postsurgical Pain after Inguinal Hernia Repair: Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Persistent postsurgical pain (PPSP) is one of the most bothersome and disabling long-term complications after inguinal hernia repair surgery. Understanding perioperative risk factors that contribute to PPSP can help identify high-risk patients and develop risk-mitigation approaches. The objective of this study was to systematically review and meta-analyze risk factors that contribute to PPSP after inguinal hernia repair. ⋯ PERSPECTIVE: This systematic review and meta-analysis summarizes the current evidence on risk factors for persistent pain after inguinal hernia repair. The findings can help identify patients at risk and test personalized risk-mitigation approaches to prevent pain.

Review Meta AnalysisDifferent peripheral nerve blocks for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty: a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
To comprehensively compare the effect of different peripheral nerve blocks for patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA). ⋯ cACB combined with IPACK/GNB may be the most favorable block after TKA, continuous blocks may be better than single-shot blocks, and combined blocks may be better than separate blocks.

Multicenter Study Observational Study
Prolonged opioid use after single-level lumbar spinal fusion surgery in a Belgian population: a multicentric observational study.
Lumbar spinal fusion surgeries are increasingly being performed in spinal degenerative disease, often accompanied by perioperative opioid prescriptions. The aim of this study is to analyze prolonged postoperative opioid use following a standardized opioid prescription after single-level lumbar spinal fusion surgery in a Belgian population. ⋯ 1 in 3 patients undergoing single-level lumbar spinal fusion surgery is at risk for prolonged opioid use. The study underscores the importance of tailored pain management strategies, particularly given the rising prevalence of spinal fusion surgeries. The association between pre-operative low back pain, post-operative improvement in functionality (ODI), and prolonged opioid use emphasizes the need for judicious opioid prescribing practices and highlights the role of functional outcomes in treatment goals.

Multicenter Study
Patterns of opioid use after surgical discharge: a multicentre, prospective cohort study in 25 countries.
Excessive opioid prescribing following surgery contributes to the growing opioid crisis. Prescribing practices are modifiable, yet data to guide appropriate prescription of opioids at surgical discharge remain sparse. This study aimed to evaluate factors associated with opioid consumption following discharge from surgery. ⋯ Our data suggest that the current quantities of opioids provided at discharge exceed patient needs and may contribute to increasing community opioid use and circulation.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Effects of goal-directed analgesia using the analgesia nociception index in children undergoing surgery for moyamoya disease: A randomised controlled trial.
The potential benefits of Analgesia Nociception Index guided intra-operative analgesia on intra-operative opioid consumption remains to be demonstrated in paediatric anaesthesia. ⋯ The Analgesia Nociception Index guided analgesic protocol can reduce intra-operative sufentanil consumption and postoperative pain within 24 h with fewer nausea symptoms in paediatric patients with moyamoya disease who undergo encephaloduroarteriosynangiosis.
