Analyses were based on multiple logistic regression. Multiple logistic regression analysis of factors associated with low or high NRS within 24 h and 48 h postoperatively, with model containing seven variables: age, gender, weight, surgical mode, systematic classification of surgical sites, medication classification, and total volume of infusion

OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval, NRS Numerical Rating Scale
