Clinical Trial Data on Erector Spinae Plane Block for Pediatric Appendectomy

Supplementary file 2 from a randomized controlled trial evaluating the opioid-sparing effects of erector spinae plane block in children undergoing laparoscopic appendectomy. The dataset, authored by Ming-wen Yang and published on figshare in 2026, contains the manuscript describing the trial's background, methods, results, and conclusions. It reports outcomes for 80 randomized children, with 75 completing follow-up.

Use Cases

• Analyzing opioid consumption reduction based on 24-hour hydromorphone usage data
• Comparing postoperative pain scores based on reported visual analog scale (VAS) or similar metrics
• Evaluating patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) parameters based on reported demand times and press counts
• Assessing block safety profiles based on reported adverse event rates

Strengths

• Data originates from a single-center, double-blind, randomized, superiority trial design
• Reports specific, statistically significant results, including a 55% reduction in 24-hour hydromorphone consumption
• Includes multiple secondary outcomes such as pain scores, PCA parameters, and parental satisfaction

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The 61.5 KB file size suggests the dataset likely contains summary text and results rather than raw patient-level data
