Abstract
The General Health Questionnaire, a 30-item, self-response inventory, identified individuals who required significantly more pain medication after elective cholecystectomy. The questionnaire is well tolerated by surgical patients and is easy to score. It can identify those individuals prone to request excessive narcotic medication postoperatively.
