“…This is consistent with previous studies in which higher levels of internalizing problems were associated with recurrent abdominal pain and headache in children . On the other hand, an earlier study in children undergoing tonsillectomy found no association between preoperative CBCL scores and postoperative pain, which may be related to the small study size (n = 43) …”

Preoperative internalizing problems and parental need for information were independently associated with increased pain at home. Screening for these problems can help to identify vulnerable children and adapt the perioperative analgesic strategy accordingly (which includes preparation, information, and prescription of pain analgesics).

“…Our findings do not support findings of an early deterioration in behavior on the PHBQ and are therefore in contrast to much of the published literature and accepted views on the subject. However, it is of interest that other studies, using the well‐established and validated Child Behavior Checklist, have found no evidence for a change in emotional or behavioral functioning 1 week following surgery (17) and improvements in emotional and behavioral functioning at 3 ‐week postsurgery (17,18).…”

“…Improvement in general emotional and social status was observed at three weeks posttonsillectomy.

The recovery period would be hastened, the hospital stay shortened, use of medications reduced and the psychological effects on patient and family minimized.…”
