Effective perioperative pain management is crucial to prevent patient suffering, delayed recovery, chronic postsurgical pain, and long-term opioid use. However, the heterogeneous use of outcomes in studies complicates evidence synthesis and might not accurately reflect the experiences of individual patients. We initiated a consensus process to establish a core outcome set (COS) of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in postoperative pain, building upon the earlier consensus on a COS of domains.
