SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 28 days post-operatively

Population: Caregivers were instructed to complete the take-home diary and record analgesics given on days 1-6, 7, 10, 14, and 28. Compliance with completing the diaries was not 100% and therefore we do not have data for all 60 subjects. Missing data was recorded as a protocol deviation.

Analgesic consumption (standard of care) and concomitant medications (via patient diary).

Timeframe: Post-operative Day 4

Population: Post-operative pain levels were collected via patient diaries provided for the caregiver to complete. Only 58 caregivers completed the diary for day 4, so only 58 participants were included in the analysis. The missed days of data collection were recorded as protocol deviations.

Evaluation of post-operative pain incidence and severity measured using the Wong-Baker FACES® Pain Rating Scale, an illustrated pain scale ranging from a happy face at 0 "No Hurt" to a crying face at 10 "Hurts Worst".
