Relationship between changes for breakthrough pain in PD, VAS, SF-Mcgill, and NRSSIS at postoperative 48 hours.

	PD vs. VAS-BTP	SF-Mcgill					PD vs. NRSSIS
		PD vs. sensory score	PD vs. effective score	PD vs. total score	PD vs. VAS	PD vs. PPI
	0.64	0.548	0.323	0.526	0.522	0.0743	0.31
	0.001	0.001	0.067	0.002	0.002	0.001	0.079
	33	33	33	33	33	33	33

PD: pain degree, VAS: visual analog scale, SF-Mcgill: short form Mcgill pain questionnaire, NRSSIS: numeric rate scale sleep interference score, PPI: present pain intensity, vs.: versus, and VAS-EP: visual analog scale for breakthrough pain.
