Summary

Perioperative pain is one of the most significant complaints and problems for patients undergoing major open surgery. Pain after surgery carry an abundance of consequences such as reduced mobilization, reduced nutrition intake, reduced pulmonary capacity and increased risk of complications and length of hospitalization. The literature does not supply much information on short- or longer-term outcomes of pain treatment for emergency surgery. The investigators know that for planned surgery in general around 10-50 percentage suffer from persistent postoperative pain. It is therefore important to follow-up on the longer-term outcomes after the standardized analgesic pain treatment. Based on a predefined patient group called OMEGA (Optimizing Major EMergency Abdominal surgery) the investigators hypothesize that OMEGA patients will present a significant incidence rate of patients with persistent postoperative pain and/or continued opioid/non-opioid usage. Therefore this study is to investigate the incidence of prolonged postoperative pain and opioid/non-opioid consumption in OMEGA patients at 3 month after major emergency abdominal surgery.
