Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Successful analgesia [2000-2016]

    Change in reported pain severity before and after treatment with analgesic. (Numeric Rating Scale, NRS, eleven-point scale reporting no pain=0, to maximum pain=10; 1-3 mild pain, 4-6 moderate pain, 7-10 severe pain)

  2. Analgesic, drug type [2000-2016]

    Use of analgesic (n= type of analgesic)

  3. Analgesic, frequency [2000-2016]

    Use of analgesic (n= frequency how often analgesic is used)

  4. Analgesic, amount of analgesics [2000-2016]

    Use of analgesic (n= amount of analgesic used in mg or µg)

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Side effects [2000-2016]

    Type of side effect (respiratory arrest after use, hypoxemia, desaturation (SpO2<90%), dead)

  2. Frequency of side effects [2000-2016]

    Frequency of side effects (frequency of side effect/n=total number of analgesic use; very common>=1/10, common>=1/100 and<1/10, uncommon >=1/1000 and <1/100, rare >=1/10000 and <1/1000, very rare <1/10000)

  3. Severity of side effect [2000-2016]

    severity of side effect (0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 3=severe, 4=potentially life threatening)
