BACKGROUND
Pain prevalence during hospital admission is variable, with estimates ranging from 32 to 77%.
AIM
To determine pain prevalence during admission to a clinical hospital.
MATERIAL AND METHODS
Patients admitted to medical and surgical wards were interrogated about the presence of pain within 48 to 72 hours after admission. Subjective pain was analyzed using a scale ranging from 0 to 10. Data was analyzed separately for medical, surgical, and obstetrical patients.
RESULTS
A total of 736 patients aged 18 to 94 years (416 women) were recruited. Pain prevalence at 48 hours after admission was 56% (95% confidence intervals (CI (52.7 to 60.1). Pain prevalence in medical, surgical and obstetric patients was 37% (95% CI 31.4 to 42.1), 70% (95% CI 64.5 to 75.5) and 77% (95% CI 68.6 to 84), respectively. The median pain intensities in medical, surgical, and obstetrical patients were 7 (interquartile range (IQR) 6-8), 7 (IQR 5-8) y 7 (IQR 5-8), respectively.
CONCLUSIONS
The prevalence of pain among patients admitted to the hospital is high, especially in obstetric and surgical units.
