To investigate the relationship between anxiety and pain scores using the Glasgow Composite Measure Pain Scale-Short Form (CMPS-SF) in dogs.
Prospective observational study.
A group of 18 dogs undergoing surgical management of stifle disease.
Preoperatively dogs were scored using the CMPS-SF, the anxiety behaviour-based Reactivity Evaluation Form (REF), a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for anxiety and a sedation score. Assessments of pain, anxiety and sedation were repeated approximately 2-6 hours postoperatively. Dogs were divided into groups based on preoperative REF ('Low REF' and 'High REF'), and VAS scores ('Low VAS' and 'High VAS'). Scores (CMPS-SF, REF, VAS and sedation) were compared between groups using Mann-Whitney U tests. Preoperative and postoperative CMPS-SF, REF and VAS scores were compared using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. Relationships between anxiety and CMPS-SF scores were assessed using a Spearman rank correlation coefficient. Scores are presented as median (range). A p value of < 0.05 was considered significant.
When divided based on REF, CMPS-SF scores did not differ between groups preoperatively [Low REF: 2 (0-3), High REF: 2 (1-3); p = 0.509] or postoperatively [Low REF: 3 (2-5), High REF: 3 (2-5); p = 0.624]. When divided based on VAS, CMPS-SF scores did not differ between groups preoperatively [Low VAS: 2 (0-2), High VAS: 2 (1-3); p = 0.215] or postoperatively [Low VAS: 3 (2-5), High VAS: 3 (2-5); p = 1]. Postoperative REF [pre: 4.5 (2-8), post: 5 (4-10); p = 0.0105] and CMPS-SF scores [pre: 2 (0-3), post: 3 (2-5); p = 0.0318] increased significantly compared with preoperative scores.
No apparent relationship exists between baseline anxiety levels and CMPS-SF scores. Understanding the influence of anxiety when using the CMPS-SF is important when assessing pain in dogs. Anxiety and pain may increase postoperatively in dogs undergoing orthopaedic surgery.
使用格拉斯哥复合疼痛量表-短表(CMPS-SF)调查犬的焦虑评分与疼痛评分之间的关系。
前瞻性观察性研究。
一群 18 只患有膝关节疾病的手术治疗犬。
术前使用 CMPS-SF、基于焦虑行为的反应性评估表(REF)、焦虑视觉模拟量表(VAS)和镇静评分对犬进行评分。大约术后 2-6 小时重复评估疼痛、焦虑和镇静。根据术前 REF(“低 REF”和“高 REF”)和 VAS 评分(“低 VAS”和“高 VAS”)将犬分为组。使用曼-惠特尼 U 检验比较组间 CMPS-SF、REF、VAS 和镇静评分。使用 Wilcoxon 符号秩检验比较术前和术后 CMPS-SF、REF 和 VAS 评分。使用 Spearman 秩相关系数评估焦虑与 CMPS-SF 评分之间的关系。评分表示为中位数(范围)。p 值<0.05 为差异有统计学意义。
基于 REF 分组时,术前 CMPS-SF 评分在两组间无差异[低 REF:2(0-3),高 REF:2(1-3);p=0.509]或术后[低 REF:3(2-5),高 REF:3(2-5);p=0.624]。基于 VAS 分组时,术前 CMPS-SF 评分在两组间无差异[低 VAS:2(0-2),高 VAS:2(1-3);p=0.215]或术后[低 VAS:3(2-5),高 VAS:3(2-5);p=1]。术后 REF[术前:4.5(2-8),术后:5(4-10);p=0.0105]和 CMPS-SF 评分[术前:2(0-3),术后:3(2-5);p=0.0318]与术前评分相比显著增加。
基线焦虑水平与 CMPS-SF 评分之间似乎没有明显关系。了解犬在使用 CMPS-SF 时的焦虑影响对于评估疼痛很重要。接受骨科手术的犬术后焦虑和疼痛可能会增加。
