This study will use group-based trajectory modeling to identify the different postoperative pain trajectory groups that exist in a mixed surgical population (non-cardiac surgery) of elderly patients during the first seven days after surgery. The aim of this study is to explore the diversity in the development of postoperative pain among elderly patients and to identify the risk factors for acute pain trajectory after surgery by investigating demographic, psychological, and clinical variables. The predictive effect of different trajectories of early postoperative acute pain on postoperative chronic pain will also be explored.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Acute pain trajectories after surgery | The acute pain trajectories are vectors of 7 numerical pain scores (ranging from 0 ,which indicates "no pain," to 10 , which indicates "pain as bad as you can imagine") taken over 7 days (days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7). | Seven days after surgery. |
| Presence of pain 3 months after surgery assessed using the Brief Pain Inventory. | Yes/No | 3 months after surgery |
| Presence of pain 6 months after surgery assessed using the Brief Pain Inventory. | Yes/No | 6 months after surgery |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| consumption of analgesic drugs | the amount of analgesic drugs will be recorded | Seven days after surgery |
| cumulative illness rating scale for geriatrics，CIR S-G | The Cumulative Illness Rating Scale (CIRS) is utilized to assess comorbidities and comprises of 14 components, each with a severity score ranging from 0 to 4. A score of 0 indicates no damage, while a score of 1 denotes minor damage that does not impede normal activity and has a positive prognosis without treatment. A score of 2 indicates moderate damage, while a score of 3 denotes severe damage that may result in disability and necessitates immediate treatment with a poor prognosis. A score of 4 indicates fatal damage that requires urgent treatment and has a severe prognosis. |

| The FRAIL Scale(Fatigue, Resistance, Ambulation, Illness and Loss of Weight Index，FRAIL) | The scale includes fatigue, resistance, ability to walk a block, concomitant illness, and weight loss. Frailty is defined by the presence of three or more of the criteria. | day1 before surgery |
| The douleur neuropathique 4 questionnaire(DN4) | This questionnaire serves as a diagnostic tool for identifying neuropathic pain. It comprises 10 options, consisting of 7 self-assessment items that evaluate symptoms. The total score is 10 points, and a score of ≥ 4 indicates the possibility of neuropathic pain, while a score < 4 rules out neuropathic pain. | day1 before surgery |
| Mini-cog | The Mini-Cog uses recall and clock-drawing tests to determine whether patients have cognitive impairments. A score of 0-2 indicates a positive dementia screening, while a score of 3-5 implies a negative screening, necessitating further evaluation. | day1 before surgery |
| The anxiety score assessed using Amsterdam preoperative anxiety and information scale | The Amsterdam preoperative anxiety and information scale is a tool utilized to assess the level of anxiety and the amount of information patients possess before undergoing surgery.The items can be categorized into three groups - anesthesia-related anxiety score (item 1+item 2), surgery-related anxiety score (item 3+item 4), and information needs score (item 5+item 6). The total anxiety score is the sum of the scores for anesthesia-related anxiety and surgery-related anxiety, with higher scores indicating greater levels of anxiety. | day1 before surgery |
| Geriatrie depression scale，GDS-15 | This scale serves as a diagnostic tool to screen for depression in the elderly population. A rating of 0 to 5 is within the normal range, while a score of 5 or above is indicative of a possible depression. If the total score exceeds 10, it may be appropriate to refer the individual to a psychiatric specialist for further assessment and diagnosis. | day1 before surgery |
