Table 5 Correlation between length of hospitalization in the post-op period and PoRI scores

From: The effect of local anaesthetic agents on opioid use and recovery in patients undergoing open heart surgery: a randomized controlled study

 

Groups

PoRI scores

Length of Hospitalization in the Post-Op Period

Control Group

r = 0.432* (p = 0.017)

Experimental Group

r = 0.155 (p = 0.412)

  1. *Correlation is significant at the 0.05 level (2-tailed).While the correlation between the length of stay and total scale score of the patients in the control group was statistically significant, the correlation between the decreased length of stay due to the effect of local anesthetic agents applied to the patients in the experimental group and the total scale score was found to be insignificant (p > 0.005) (Table 5)
