Table 3

Consumption of tramadol according to various parameters (VAS at admission, phenotype, CRP at admission, haemoglobin, GR count, and treatment administered).

ParametersTramadol uptake

CRP
 <123 (2–4)
 ≥124 (3–5)0.1918 NS
Arms
 Group 05 (4–7)0.0049 S
 Group 13 (3–4)
 Group 22.5 (1–3)

CRP, C-reactive protein; NS, not significant; VAS, visual analogue score; , value with significance set at less than 0.05 Bold values imply that the tramadol uptake was significantly different between the three study arms. P = 0,004 (<0.05).
