Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Clinical guidelines and reviews consistently indicate that inadequate management or undertreatment of acute pain serves as a significant risk factor for the development of chronic pain.

The analysis

The retrieved literature, particularly major perioperative pain guidelines and reviews (e.g., American Society of Anesthesiologists guidelines and clinical overviews), explicitly identifies the development of chronic pain as a known adverse outcome and consequence of undertreated acute pain.
