摘要

This prespecified secondary analysis of a randomized controlled trial investigated event-related dynamics of the Nociception Level (NOL) index during tracheal intubation and initiation of pneumoperitoneum in patients undergoing robot-assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy. Continuous NOL values recorded every 5 s were analyzed within 5-min windows before and after each event using segmented regression models within a comparative interrupted time series (ITS) framework incorporating a contemporaneous control group. Forty-nine patients were included (NOL-guided, n = 25; control, n = 24). At intubation, the NOL-guided group showed a lower pre-event baseline (12.2 vs 19.2; group difference − 6.97, p = 0.003) and a reduced post-event peak (32.9 vs 44.1; − 11.2, p = 0.034), whereas immediate level changes did not differ (p = 0.82). Similar findings were observed at pneumoperitoneum, with lower baseline (8.09 vs 12.0; − 3.93, p = 0.024) and peak NOL values (12.9 vs 23.6; − 10.8, p = 0.013) but no difference in immediate level change (p = 0.47). By integrating a prespecified secondary analysis within a comparative ITS framework, this study offers a time-resolved perspective on intraoperative NOL dynamics beyond conventional event-based analyses.
