Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

  1. Postoperative pain at rest will be assessed at 24 hours using a numerical rating scale (NRS) graded from 0 to 10

Secondary endpoints 7

  1. During chest physiotherapy, postoperative pain will be assessed as for the primary endpoint using the NRS
  2. Postoperative pain every day from the 1st to the 7th day between 8 a.m. and 12 p.m. as for the primary endpoint using the EN and the pain trajectory will be assessed taking into account the NRS between day 3 and day 7
  3. Nausea will be recorded according to a verbal scale (none, moderate, severe)
  4. postoperative pulmonary complications will be looked for in the first 7 days after surgery according to the European consensus definitions
  5. Chronic pain will be assessed at 48 hours and at 3 months by completing a concise pain questionnaire using the DN4 scale
  6. Neuropathic pain will be assessed at 48 hours
  7. Quality of life at 3 months will be assessed by the quality of life scale of the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire compared to the assessment the day before surgery
