  1. Complete-case analysis: Included observations n = 244, 19 missing observations. Estimate = Difference in NRS reduction after application of nasal Nalbuphine according to either level of the factor variable or initial pain level (absolute difference or relative difference in percentage respectively). 95% C.I. = 95% confidence interval of the estimate. Male sex and Age < 20 years served as the reference groups in both models
