Pain scores after awakening.

Groups	30 min			60 min			120 min			240 min
	Mean	Inf	Sup	Mean	Inf	Sup	Mean	Inf	Sup	Mean	Inf	Sup
CG	3.09	1.99	4.19	2.48	1.61	3.34	2.25	1.62	2.88	1.79	1.33	2.26
CWG	1.05	0.58	1.51	1.67	1.10	2.23	1.79	1.54	2.04	1.96	1.67	2.25
RWG	1.00	0.20	1.80	1.25	0.85	1.65	1.60	1.39	1.81	1.88	1.63	2.13

Means and confidence intervals of pain scores (0, no pain; 10, worst imaginable pain) were recorded at four postoperative time points (in min). CG, control group; CWG, corrected ideal weight group; RWG, real weight group; Inf, lower limit; Sup, upper limit. One-way ANOVA. (Bonferroni comparisons): CWG < CG. (Bonferroni comparisons)–RWG < CG.
