Notes: n = 211. Age, sex (0: male, 1: female), postoperative days, and surgery procedure (0: with fusion; 1: with fusion) were used as controlling variables. The values in parentheses represent the 95% confidence interval. *The total score was calculated by reversing the scores for item 16. **The total score was calculated by deleting item 16.
