BACKGROUND: Pain trajectories have been described in numerous surgical settings where preoperative characteristics used to predict trajectory membership. Suboptimal pain intensity linked poor longitudinal outcomes. However, biopsychosocial modulators of postoperative may also distinct that inform additional targets improve recovery. METHODS: Patients undergoing total joint arthroplasty, thoracic surgery, spine major abdominal or mastectomy completed Patient Reported Outcome Measurement...
