Abstract

Satisfaction measures such as Press Ganey (PG) scores are increasingly used to determine reimbursement. To investigate the relationship between PG satisfaction scores and perioperative opioid use in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Patients undergoing ACLR were retrospectively identified. Perioperative opioid prescription data were collected using the electronic medical record. Positive correlations existed between immediate preoperative total morphine equivalents (TMEs) and PG scores. There was a negative correlation between "Pain Control" and preoperative TMEs. PG scores were correlated with preoperative and intraoperative opioid administration but not postoperative opioid administration.
