Patients completed a preoperative survey querying chronic pain history, narcotic usage, and postoperative pain expectation. Demographics, surgical data, postoperative narcotic use defined by morphine milligram equivalents (MME), pain scores, and Overall Benefit of Analgesia Score (OBAS) were analyzed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Seventy\u2010six patients, 44 (57.9%) females and 32 (42.1%) males with a mean age of 54.0 years, met inclusion criteria. The most common procedures were parotidectomy (27.6%) and total thyroidectomy (19.7%). Average cumulative 24\u2010hour postoperative MME and calculated MME per hospital day (MME\/HD, cumulative MME for hospitalization divided by length of stay) were 40.5 \u00b1 30.6 and 60.8 \u00b1 60.1, respectively. Average pain score throughout the initial 24 hours after surgery was 3.7\/10 \u00b1 2.0.

Female sex and prior chronic pain diagnosis may be associated with higher postoperative OBAS, a validated assessment of pain and opioid\u2010related side effects.
