Outcomes included maximum numerical rating scale (NRS, scale:0\u201310) score at the recovery room, prevalence of post-procedural pain (defined as NRS score\u2009\u2265\u20094), duration of anesthesia, length of stay at recovery, and complications.

Results showed higher average maximum NRS scores in women patients compared to men (mean:3.88 versus 2.73), but not after adjustments (a\u00df:0.75, 95%CI:\u22120.13\u20131.64). Women suffered more from acute post-procedural pain (59% versus 35%; aOR:2.50, 95%CI:1.16\u20135.39), and needed analgesics more often at the recovery room (aOR:2.43, 95%CI:1.07\u20135.48) compared to men. NRS score at recovery arrival did not significantly differ (a\u00df:0.37, 95%CI:-0.48\u20131.22). No differences were seen in the length of stay at the recovery, duration of anesthesia, procedure time, and complication rate. Location of the tumor (subcapsular or deep), total tumors per patient, and distinction between primary and secondary tumors had no influence on the NRS.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This retrospective single-center study shows higher post-procedural pain rates after thermal liver ablation in women, resulting in higher analgesics use at the recovery room.
