CRD SUMMARY: The authors concluded that the addition of acetaminophen to intravenous patient-controlled analgesia with morphine reduces the need for morphine in patients undergoing major surgery, but does not affect morphine-related side-effects. The authors' conclusions appear to be supported by the data presented, but limited reporting of review methods means it is not possible to confirm their reliability.
