This paper aims to provide normative data for the PaedePPOC measures used by specialist paediatric pain management services. This information will provide a description of the children and adolescents referred for specialist pain management in Australia during the period from January 2014 to June 2018, allowing pain management services to compare scores for individuals seen at their service to these group values.

Objective: Despite being disproportionately affected by injury, little is known about factors associated with injury in Aboriginal children.

Nicholas and colleagues have developed an extensive normative dataset for a range of assessment tools used in pain management services. The present paper aims to provide normative data for the measures used in the ePPOC minimum dataset for a large cohort of adults referred to pain management services throughout Australia. This information will provide a description of the people seeking specialist pain management in Australia during the period 2014-17, and allow pain management services to compare scores for individuals seen at their service to these group values.
