We also measured pre\u2010operative pain, opioid intake and psychological factors, such as depressiveness or pain catastrophising.

Certain socio\u2010demographic characteristics, pre\u2010operative chronic pain and depressive symptoms also correlated with perceived social support. Using multiple linear regression, we could confirm known risk factors for high intensity acute postsurgical pain, for example, younger age and pre\u2010operative pain. Perceived social support, however, was not a significant predictor of neither postsurgical pain intensity nor postsurgical opioid requirements.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Perceived social support measured by MSPSS does not add to the prediction of acute postsurgical pain in our study.
