Factors influencing patient satisfaction in postoperative pain management: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Effective postoperative pain management is pivotal not only for alleviating discomfort but also for enhancing overall patient satisfaction and recovery. This systematic review aims to investigate various factors influencing patient satisfaction due to the postoperative pain management offered.

Methods

Using relevant keywords, we searched PubMed, Scopus, and the Cochrane database after registering the protocol in PROSPERO. A qualitative systematic review was planned using the Appraisal Tool for Cross-Sectional Studies (AXIS tool) to assess the risk of bias (RoB). Thereafter, a quantitative meta-analysis of the transformed proportions was performed using an inverse-variance random-effects model, and a Freeman-Tukey double arcsine transformation was applied
