Results

TThe mean preoperative walking pain intensity measured using the Visual Analog Scale was 48.4 mm. Postoperative walking pain intensity was 66.8 mm on postoperative day 1, 54.3 mm on postoperative day 3, 48.1 mm on postoperative day 5, 44.2 mm on postoperative day 7, and 10.6 mm at 1 year after surgery. The mean pain curve slope was minus 7.6, and the mean intercept was 72.7 .

Baseline Characteristics

A total of 221 patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty for knee osteoarthritis were included in the analysis. The mean age was 70.7 years (standard deviation, 7.4), and 108 participants (48.9%) were female. The affected limb was the right side in 98 participants (44.0%). The mean height was 153.8 cm (standard deviation, 7.9), and mean body weight was 62.2 kg (standard deviation, 10.8).

Participant flow

A total of 287 patients scheduled to undergo total knee arthroplasty for knee osteoarthritis were assessed for eligibility. Of these, 50 patients were excluded: 10 had severe uncontrolled chronic pain at a site other than the surgical knee before surgery, 4 had stroke or another central nervous system disorder, 15 had undergone another surgery within the prior 3 months, 15 had rheumatoid arthritis, and 6 had dementia. Consequently, 237 patients were enrolled in the study. After enrollment, 16 patients did not complete the evaluations, and the final analysis included 221 patients.

Adverse events

This was an observational study designed to assess walking pain and postoperative pain trajectories after total knee arthroplasty, and no additional invasive intervention beyond usual clinical care was performed for research purposes. No serious adverse events related to the study procedures were reported in the published article.

Outcome measures

The primary outcome measure was walking pain intensity at 1 year after total knee arthroplasty. Walking pain intensity was assessed using the Visual Analog Scale, with 0 mm indicating no pain and 100 mm indicating the highest possible degree of pain. Pain intensity was assessed preoperatively, on postoperative days 1, 3, 5, and 7, and at 1 year after surgery. Chronic postsurgical pain was defined as a Visual Analog Scale score greater than 30 mm for walking pain intensity at 1 year after surgery.To evaluate changes in acute postoperative pain, individual pain trajectories were calculated using walking pain intensity scores obtained on postoperative days 1, 3, 5, and 7. The pain trajectory was represented by a simple linear regression line with postoperative day on the x axis and pain intensity on the y-axis, and both the pain curve slope and intercept were calculated. Structural equation modeling was used to compare models for predicting pain intensity at 1 year after surgery. In addition, Classification and Regression Tree analysis using the CHAID method was performed to calculate clinically useful values for predicting chronic postsurgical pain. The predictor variables were pain curve slope, intercept, age, sex, body mass index, and preoperative pain intensity.Structural equation modeling showed that the pain trajectory model including both the pain curve slope and intercept had the best fit for predicting pain intensity at 1 year after surgery. In the CHAID analysis, when the pain curve slope was less than minus9.5, the probability of a Visual Analog Scale score greater than 30 mm at 1 year after surgery was 2.4%. When the pain curve slope was between minus9.5 and 2.8, the probability was 14.3%. When the pain curve slope was greater than 2.8, the probability was 33.3%. Furthermore, when the pain curve slope was between minus9.5 and 2.8 and the patient was older than 77 years, the probability was 36.0%. The cross-validated misclassification risk estimate for the decision tree model was 0.114, with a standard error of 0.022, indicating that the model predicted reduced pain intensity at 1 year after surgery with an accuracy of 88.6%.
