EVENDOL — Childhood pain

EVENDOL — Childhood pain

Principle

Acute or prolonged baseline pain in children from birth to under 7 years. Distinguish rest and movement; do not provoke unnecessary movement if pain is already major.

Scope

Acute or prolonged baseline pain in children from birth to under 7 years. Distinguish rest and movement; do not provoke unnecessary movement if pain is already major.

Interpretation limits

EVENDOL reference threshold ≥ 4/15: reassessment and analgesic care require clinical judgement. A lower total is insufficient to exclude pain. Observe signs without attributing a cause. No procedural pain adaptation or assessment of an intubated/sedated child. Compare only the same conditions; variation does not prove treatment efficacy. Locally reworded labels, not the official grid.

Formula and logic

Sum of explicit ratings for this observation, without imputation.
