Table 3. Gabapentin Groups Presented Lower PAED and CHIPP Scores Than the Placebo Group at Time 30a,b.
Groups | P Valuec | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Variables | Placebo | 15 mg/kg GABA | 30 mg/kg GABA | |
PAED | 10.33 ± 6.11 A,B | 2.61 ± 4.94 A | 2.63 ± 5.06 B | < 0.001d A,B |
CHIPPS | 2.42 ± 2.45 C,D | 0.63 ± 1.43 C | 0.65 ± 1.85 D | < 0.001d C,D |
a15 and 30 mg/kg gabapentin groups had lower PAED and CHIPP mean scores than the placebo group at time 30 (p a,b < 0.001). PAED scores of above 10 were presented in the placebo group. All gabapentin patients had PAED scores of below 10. PAED and CHIPP mean scores at time 0 were not shown because patients were always sedated at this point.
bA, C Placebo versus GABA 15 mg/kg in A PAED and C CHIPP scores. B, D Placebo versus GABA 30 mg/kg in B PAED and D CHIPP scores.
cStatistical tests used were Kruskal-Wallis test followed by post hoc Dunn’s test.
dSignificant P values < 0.05.
