Barthel Activity of Daily Living (ADL) score at postoperative days 1–7.

	CPVB (n = 40)	CWI (n = 40)	value
The Barthel ADL scores
1^st day	75.00 (65.00–80.00)	67.50 (60.00–70.00)	0.002
2^nd day	90.00 (80.00–95.00)	75.00 (70.00–90.00)	<0.001
3^rd day	95.00 (90.00–95.00)	90.00 (85.00–95.00)	0.005
7^th day	95.00 (95.00–100.00)	95.00 (95.00–100.00)	0.379

Categorical variables are presented as n (%). CPVB, continuous paravertebral block; CWI, continuous wound infiltration; ADL, activities of daily living.
