Despite their growing use, conventional data collection methods limit widespread PROM implementation. In orthopedics, pain is a frequent patient complaint and a common PROM, especially following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Although TKA is generally successful, some patients still report postoperative pain, potentially due to tourniquet use. Using an improved PROM data-gathering technique may help to address tourniquet use during a TKA procedure and its impact on postoperative pain. The PainPad, an automated self-logging device, was developed to capture patient pain levels accurately.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n The aim of the study is to assess the feasibility and effectiveness of the PainPad device in quantifying in-hospital postoperative pain following TKA with or without tourniquet use.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n A retrospective study with 234 patients who underwent TKA from 2018 to 2021 at Milton Keynes University Hospital was conducted. Patients were categorized as receiving TKA with an intraoperative tourniquet (tourniquet group) or TKA without a tourniquet (nontourniquet group). Postoperative pain during the first 24 hours was self-reported every 2 hours using the PainPad device. From both groups, data on hospital length of stay, total tourniquet time, and the presence of postoperative deep vein thrombosis were also collected.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n There were 115 TKAs with tourniquets (72\/115, 62.6% female patients; mean age 69.26, SD 9.93 years) and 119 TKAs without tourniquets (91\/119, 76.4% female patients; mean age 70.97, SD 9.01 years). When assessing 24-hour mean postoperative pain scores, the PainPad device data indicated no significant difference (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =.53; 95% CI \u22120.76 to 0.39) between the tourniquet (mean pain score 3.31, SD 2.34) and nontourniquet groups (mean pain score 3.12, SD 2.15). There was no correlation between tourniquet times and the pain scores retrieved from the PainPad device. A subgroup analysis comparing longer (>90 minutes) versus shorter (<90 minutes) tourniquet times showed no significant difference in terms of pain and length of stay.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n The PainPad device is a feasible and effective method for collecting and evaluating in-hospital postoperative pain following TKA, allowing for the quantification of individual pain levels. This study aligns with the current health care trend toward leveraging innovative technologies and personalized data to enhance patient-centered care.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/65271","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,23]],"date-time":"2025-03-23T15:35:06Z","timestamp":1742744106000},"page":"e65271-e65271","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Assessing Postoperative Pain in Patients Who Underwent Total Knee Arthroplasty Using an Automated Self-Logging Patient-Reported Outcome Measure Collection Device: Retrospective Cohort Study"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8819-1347","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Prabjit","family":"Ajrawat","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2247-9804","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Blaine","family":"Price","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1936-3103","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"Gooch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3741-5544","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Rudolf","family":"Serban","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8180-936X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ruqaiya","family":"Al-Habsi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9584-1395","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Oliver","family":"Pearce","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,10]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"435","DOI":"10.1016\/j.surg.2009.03.019","article-title":"Patient-reported outcome measures: the importance of patient satisfaction in surgery","volume":"146","author":"Chow","journal-title":"Surgery"},{"issue":"14","key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1480","DOI":"10.1200\/JCO.2013.53.5948","article-title":"What is the value of the routine use of patient-reported outcome measures toward improvement of patient outcomes, processes of care, and health service outcomes in cancer care?
