Postoperative Pain Management Among Native and Non-native Israeli Citizens-Data From the European PAIN-OUT Registry.

CONCLUSIONS: In this study, immigration status was not a predictor of inferior postoperative analgesia. In contrast, non-natives benefited more from analgesic care. We suggest this stems from differing patient expectations and attitudes toward pain management between the groups, with higher expectations for analgesia on the part of native patients accounting for these observations.
