The objectives of the study were to assess perioperative pain intensity and to assess predictors of pain post-cardiac surgery, including clinical characteristics and depression.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A total of 98 cardiac surgery patients were included in the study. Pain intensity was assessed using a Numerical Rating System. Pain was measured one day pre-operatively and recorded daily from Post-operative Day 2 to Day 7. Clinical data were recorded and depression scores were assessed using the Center for Epidemiological Study of Depression (CES-D).<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Pain intensity increased significantly during hospitalization from pre-operative levels, surging at 2\u00a0days post-operatively. Predictors of high pain intensity were high pre-operative CES-D scores, female gender, cardiac function, smoking and high body mass index (BMI). Significantly higher pre-operative CES-D scores were found in patients with severe pain compared to patients with no pain to moderate pain (18.23\u2009\u00b1\u20091.80 vs 12.84\u2009\u00b1\u20091.22, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.01 pre-operatively). Patients with severe pain (NRS 7\u201310) had significantly higher levels of white blood cells (WBC) compared to patients with no pain-moderate pain (NRS 0\u20136), (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.01). However, CES-D scores were only weakly correlated maximum WBC levels perioperatively.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Pain intensity significantly increased following surgery, and was associated with depressive symptoms, female sex, cardiac function, BMI, and smoking. These factors may serve as a basis for identification and intervention to help prevent the transition from acute pain to chronic pain.\n<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12871-022-01740-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,4]],"date-time":"2022-07-04T11:14:13Z","timestamp":1656933253000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Clinical factors and pre-surgical depression scores predict pain intensity in cardiac surgery patients"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Jacob","family":"Gohari","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liza","family":"Grosman-Rimon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mattan","family":"Arazi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Noa","family":"Caspi-Avissar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dina","family":"Granot","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sagi","family":"Gleitman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jawdat","family":"Badarny","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Alla","family":"Lubovich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Doron","family":"Sudarsky","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jordan","family":"Rimon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shemy","family":"Carasso","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Edo Y.","family":"Birati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Erez","family":"Kachel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,7,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"1740_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Caspi-Avissar N, Grosman-Rimon L, Gohari J, Arazi M, Granot D, Ghanim D, Carasso S, Shalabi A, Sudarsky D, Eilat-Adar S, et al: Clinical, Surgical, and Socio-Psychological Factors and Depression Post-Cardiothoracic Surgery.
