CPSP: chronic postsurgical pain, PPST: pediatric pain screening tool, FDI: Functional disability index, PedsQL: pediatric quality of life measure.

p value less than 0.025 was considered to be significant

data exhibited normal distribution; shown as mean ± SD and compared using two sample t-tests;

data exhibited non-normal distribution; shown as median ± Interquartile range and compared using 2 sided Wilcoxon test;

shown as frequency and compared using Fisher’s exact tests
