Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the relationship between C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and pain severity in patients following total knee arthroplasty, hypothesizing that higher CRP levels correlate with increased pain.
- Researchers analyzed CRP levels and pain through a visual analog scale in 160 patients who underwent the surgery between 2017 and 2019, categorizing them based on different pain relief methods used post-operatively.
- Results indicated a significant correlation between elevated CRP levels and worse pain experienced both shortly after surgery and on the first post-operative day, suggesting CRP may be a useful indicator of pain severity in these patients.
