The Michigan Surgical Quality Collaborative (MSQC) used categorical rating scales (CRS) from 2017 to 2020 and 2022, switching to numeric rating scales (NRS) in 2021, offering a chance to compare both.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We analyzed surgical patients \u226518\u2009years of age across 70 MSQC hospitals. We compared the 2020 CRS regarding pain in the week after surgery with 2021 NRS surgical site (primary outcome) and overall body (secondary outcome) pain questions using modified equipercentile equating. A secondary analysis equated surgical site pain for 2021 NRS and 2022 CRS.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 31\u2009362 respondents (55.4 mean age, 57.4% female, 19.5% non-white, 46.6% publicly insured), 81.1% noted \u201cminimal\u201d or \u201cmoderate\u201d pain in the 2020 CRS while 76.6% noted surgical site pain scores between 2 through 8 in the 2021 NRS. Responses from surgical site pain NRS were matched to CRS as: 0\u2009=\u2009no pain, 1 through 4\u2009=\u2009minimal pain, 5 through 8\u2009=\u2009moderate pain, and 9 through 10\u2009=\u2009severe pain. The mapping of overall body pain NRS was similar except that minimal pain included 0 through 4. The secondary analysis added 21\u2009113 cases confirming these findings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>NRS surgical site and overall body pain scores map effectively to the single-question CRS, with pain scores similar over 3 years.
