Acute Pain & Chronic Pain Chronic pain is a pain without apparent biological value that has persisted beyond the normal tissue healing time (taken to be three months), whereas acute pain tends to have shorter duration, as well as it is connected with tissue lesions [2].

Objective To review systematically the literature regarding risk factors which influence the evolution of acute pain into chronic pain
Methods Inclusion criteria: • Cohort studies that refer to the factors which influence the evolution of acute pain into chronic pain. Exclusion criteria: • Language restriction: only studies in English or Portuguese would be included. • Studies that are not related with the context of our review. • Studies that do not include cohort studies. • Studies that do not refer the evolution of acute pain into chronic.
Assessment Protocol Organization of reviewer groups: 4 Reviewer Groups: three groups of 2 elements and one group of 3 elements Revision by abstract: All groups with 6 articles Two groups with 93 articles and two groups with 92 articles Revision by full text: Three groups with 17 articles and one group with 18 articles
Results Main features of the studies used in the review
Risk factors studied in each article and trheir influence in the evolution of acute pain into chronic pain
Discussion Comparison of articles according to the following items: • Types of pain • Population • Sample’s size • Follow-up period • Year of publication • Definition of chronic pain • Inclusion/Exclusion criteria of study’s participants • Risk factors studied
Conclusion Risk factors which inflence the evolution from acute pain into chronic pain
