Table 3 Logistic regression analysis of VAS in patients treated with lidocaine and controls. Controls had significantly higher VAS scores after 30 min, even after adjusting for age, sex, BMI, time of surgery, anesthesia, and risk factors (hypertension, diabetes, smoking).
| VAS at rest | OR | (95% CI) | P-value | VAS during movement | OR | (95% CI) | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0 min | 0.179 | (−0.39 to 0.78) | P=0.51 | 0 min | 2.25 | (0.95 to 3.54) | P=0.07 |
| 15 min | 0.39 | (−0.22 to 0.96) | P=0.203 | 15 min | 1.64 | (1.1 to 2.35) | P=0.006 |
| 30 min | 2.62 | (1.75 to 3.51) | P=0.007 | 30 min | 2.4 | (1.5 to 3.2) | P |
| 1 h | 9.54 | (6.59 to 12.50) | P | 1 h | 3.7 | (1.8 to 5.6) | P |
| 6 h | 3.66 | (1.69 to 5.64) | P | 6 h | 9.8 | (6.9 to 12.8) | P |
| 12 h | 4.36 | (1.53 to 4.36) | P | 12 h | 2.5 | (1.3 to 3.6) | P |
| 24 h | 3.71 | (1.70 to 5.72) | P | 24 h | 3.6 | (1.6 to 5.6) | P |
| Data are expressed as odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals. VAS – visual analog scale; BMI – body mass index. | |||||||
