Journal Article
Persistent postoperative nonanginal pain after cardiac surgery
2014
Overview
As the two principal research investigators, we are pleased that our large, longterm, multicentre study on persistent postcardiac surgery pain was published in CMAJ.1 However, we strongly take issue with the Editor's comment in the April 15 print synopsis version regarding the data in the full-text article. We point out the editor's misunderstanding referring to persistent preoperative nonanginal pain: \"If the measurement scales were comparable, this suggests a great improvement from 6 months after surgery onward rather than a persisting problem.\" We think that this merits a correction in CMAJ. Pain measurement before surgery related to an already existing persistent nonanginal pain from common health problems such as arthritis, headache or backache, while this study measured surgery- related pain that remained for about 10% of patients at two years later.
