Assessment of Acute Pain Management and Associated Factors among Emergency Surgical Patients in Gondar University Specialized Hospital Emergency Department, Northwest Ethiopia, 2018: Institutional Based Cross-Sectional Study

Table 3

Analgesia and timing of analgesia among participants in GUSHE, Northwest Ethiopia, 2018 (N=203).

Characteristics		Trauma ()	Non trauma ()	p-value
Analgesia received	Yes	100(49.3)	34(16.7)	< 0.001^∗
	No	34(16.7)	35(17.2)
	Total	134(66)	69(34)
Timing of analgesia ( mean ±SD)		53.2 ± 30.1	88.8 ± 33.1	< 0.001^∗∗

-square was used to analyze significant difference between two groups. P value less than 0.05 was statistically significant.
^∗∗Independent sample t-test was used to compare the mean time of analgesia between trauma and nontrauma. P value less than 0.05 was significantly significant. SD= standard deviation.
