Abstract:	Objectives: to analyze the relationship between preoperative emotional state and the prevalence and intensity of postoperative pain and to explore predictors of postoperative pain. observational retrospective study undertaken among 127 adult patients of orthopedic and trauma surgery. Postoperative pain was assessed with the verbal numeric scale and with five variables of emotional state: anxiety, sweating, stress, fear, and crying. The Chi-squared test, Student's t test or ANOVA and a multivariate logistic regression analysis were used for the statistical analysis. the prevalence of immediate postoperative pain was 28%. Anxiety was the most common emotional factor (72%) and a predictive risk factor for moderate to severe postoperative pain (OR: 4. 60, 95% CI 1. 38 to 15. 3, p<0. 05, AUC: 0. 72, 95% CI: 0. 62 to 0. 83). Age exerted a protective effect (OR 0. 96, 95% CI: 0. 94-0. 99, p<0. 01). preoperative anxiety and age are predictors of postoperative pain in patients undergoing orthopedic and trauma surgery.
