TL;DR: The simplified risk scores provided better discrimination and calibration properties compared with the more complex risk scores and can be recommended for antiemetic strategies in clinical practice as well as for group comparisons in randomized controlled anti-emetic trials.

TL;DR: The data suggest that PV can be predicted with an acceptable accuracy using a four-item simplified risk score, and a simple score to predict PV in children (POVOC-score) is developed and validated.

TL;DR: Evidence of effect for intravenous lidocaine on the reduction of postoperative pain is found at 'early time points' in participants undergoing laparoscopic abdominal surgery and at 'intermediate time points (24 hours)' after surgery, but no evidence of effect was found for lidocane to reduce pain at 'late time points '(48 hours) after surgery.

TL;DR: The effects (benefits and risks) of perioperative intravenous (IV) lidocaine infusion compared to placebo/no treatment or compared to epidural analgesia on postoperative pain and recovery in adults undergoing various surgical procedures are assessed.

TL;DR: A comparison of three different scores to predict postoperative vomiting or postoperative nausea and vomiting using logistic regression analysis found that sex, age, history of previous PONV, motion sickness, duration of anaesthesia, and use of postoperative opioids are similar.
