Research Gaps on Practice Guidelines for Acute Postoperative Pain Management in Adults: Findings from a Review of the Evidence for an American Pain Society Clinical Practice Guideline

Acute postoperative pain is a common clinical condition that when poorly controlled can result in a number of significant negative consequences. The American Pain Society (APS) commissioned an evidence-based guideline on the management of postoperative pain in in order to promote evidence-based, safe and effective perioperative pain management. An interdisciplinary panel developed 31 key questions and inclusion criteria to guide the evidence review. Investigators reviewed 6,556 abstracts from multiple electronic databases up to November 2012, an updated evidence review to October 2014 and key references suggested by expert reviewers.
