Mixed effects logistic regression was used to compare the odds of CPSP\/NP between EP and PNB. Cox PH model with adjustment for clustering due to multiple surgeries on patients was used to quantify rate of pain relief between surgery groups (LA vs. LS) and RA groups (EP vs. PNB). The incidence of CPSP\/NP was 36 (23.8%) after 165 surgeries (150 patients). The odds of CPSP\/NP after PNB were 2.5 times those of CPSP\/NP after EP (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.11). The rate of pain relief at any instant after the EP was 1.2 times that after PNB (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.3). The rate of pain relief for LS with EP was 1.9 times that of pain relief for LA with EP, a statistically significant difference (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a0.03).
