Abstract
BACKGROUND Limited evidence exists regarding the influence of mental health disorders (MHDs) on opioid use and complications after total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). We aimed to identify the prevalence of common MHDs among patients undergoing anatomic TSA (aTSA) and reverse TSA (rTSA). MATERIALS AND METHODS The Premier Healthcare Database was queried for patients undergoing primary aTSA and rTSA from 2016 to 2020. International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision, diagnosis codes were used to identify MHDs. Primary outcomes included the prevalence of MHDs, perioperative opioid consumption, and 90-day risk of postoperative complications, revision, and readmission. Bivariate and multivariate regression analyses were performed to assess 90-day risk of primary endpoints while controlling for potential confounders. Statistical significance was defined as P<.05. RESULTS From 2016 to 2020, 49,997 of 144,725 (34.55%) patients undergoing primary TSA had at least one diagnosed MHD. The most prevalent were depression (17.03%), anxiety (16.75%), and substance use disorder (10.20%). Patients with a MHD had higher mean hospital costs ($75,984±$43,129 vs $73,316±$39,046, P<.0001), longer mean length of stay (1.95±2.25 days vs 1.61±1.51 days, P<.0001), and higher mean total postoperative opioid use (72.00±231.55 morphine milligram equivalents [MMEs] vs 59.32±127.31 MMEs, P<.0001). Periprosthetic fractures (odds ratio, 1.20; P=.041), dislocation (odds ratio, 1.12; P=.042), and 90-day readmission rates (odds ratio, 1.26; P<.001) were significantly higher among patients with a MHD. CONCLUSION This study found that MHDs are associated with significantly increased perioperative opioid consumption, medical and surgical complication rates, and risk of readmission after TSA. Recognition and optimization of MHDs is critical to minimizing complications and opioid consumption after TSA. [Orthopedics. 202x;4x(x):xx-xx.].

Abstract
BACKGROUND Resiliency is the ability to recover from stressful events and has been shown to correlate with patient outcomes following certain orthopaedic procedures. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between resiliency and outcomes following TAA. METHODS A retrospective analysis of patients undergoing primary TAA between April 2015 and September 2022 was performed (N = 83). Data included demographics, comorbidities, complications, preoperative and postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) pain and Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) functional scores, Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) scores, and surgical satisfaction. Patients were defined as having low resilience (LR), normal resilience (NR), or high resilience (HR) based on a BRS score of <3, 3-4.30, and >4.3, respectively. RESULTS High resilience patients had significantly higher postoperative FAAM ADL, Sports, and Overall scores as well as a significantly greater increase from preoperative scores compared with LR and NR patients. Low resilience patients had significantly lower FAAM Sports and Overall scores compared with normal and high resilience patients. BRS scores positively correlated with postoperative FAAM scores. We found no difference in satisfaction or VAS between the 3 cohorts. Multivariate regression analysis identified BRS scores to be an independent predictor for greater changes in FAAM scores following TAA. CONCLUSION Although functional improvements following TAA are expected, patients with higher resilience at baseline are more likely to experience greater improvements in functional outcomes following surgery.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION After rotator cuff repair (RCR), return to work and return to sports is affected by various psychosocial factors. The role of one of these factors - mood and anxiety disorders (MAD) - is still not clear. The primary objective of this study was to determine the influence of prior MAD on the return to work and return to sports after RCR. Our hypothesis was that patients with a history of MAD would take longer to return to work and to sports after RCR, and the rate of return would be lower, than for patients without MAD. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective single-center study of patients who underwent arthroscopic RCR (distal supraspinatus tear). Patients who were employed and those who participated in sports before the surgery were included in the "working" and "sports" groups, respectively. The primary outcomes were the time to return to work and return to sports after surgery. The secondary outcomes were the ratio of patients returning to work and to sports at 3, 6 and 12 months; rate of return to same level of sports; need to change or stop working or sports. The effects of prior MAD on these various outcomes were determined using Bayesian multivariate analysis. RESULTS The "working" group consisted of 158 patients (of which 16.5% had MAD) and the "sports" group consisted of 118 patients (of which 17.8% had MAD). In those with a history of MAD, return to work was 21±11 weeks later and the return to sports was 17±8 weeks later than in those without MAD. There was a 98% probability that return to work or return to sports was delayed by at least 4 weeks in patients with history of MAD. The likelihood that patients with prior MAD who undergo RCR will completely abandon their sport was 2.8 times higher (OR=2.8 [1; 7.8]). CONCLUSION We found a negative influence of prior MAD on the return to work and return to sports after RCR. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III; retrospective case-control study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of mental health attributes, such as the presence of psychiatric comorbidities or psychological comorbidities (low resilience), on outcomes after rotator cuff repair (RCR) and total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). METHODS PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar (results pages 1-20) were searched up to November 2023. Mental health problems of interest included the presence of psychiatric comorbidities (depression, anxiety) or indicators of poor psychological functioning, such as low resilience or the presence of distress. Patients were assigned to poor or good mental health groups in this study based on their grouping in the original study. RESULTS Fourteen studies were included in the meta-analysis. Patients with good mental health had greater improvements in postoperative American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons and Simple Shoulder Test scores in the TSA cohort (P=0.003 and P=0.01), RCR cohort (P<0.001), and the combined TSA and RCR cohort (P<0.001). No difference was found in visual analog scale score, satisfaction, external rotation, or flexion between the two mental health groups. Patients with poor mental health undergoing RCR experienced higher rates of adverse events and transfusions (P<0.001). Patients with poor mental health also had greater rates of revision and emergency department visits in the TSA cohort (P<0.001), RCR cohort (P=0.05 and P=0.03), and combined cohort (P<0.001). Patients with poor mental health undergoing TSA had a higher rate of re-admission (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS Patients with poor preoperative mental health showed inferior patient-reported outcome scores and increased rates of adverse events, revisions, and re-admissions. Level of evidence: III.

Abstract
Background Shoulder arthroplasty (SA) has been shown to improve quality of life, though outcomes may vary between individuals. Multiple factors may affect outcomes, including preoperative mental health conditions (MHCs). The goal of this systematic review was to evaluate the clinical and functional outcomes after SA in patients with MHC compared to patients without MHC. Methods This systematic review was performed in adherence to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines outlined by Cochrane Collaboration. A search of PubMed, the Medline Library, and EMBASE was conducted from inception until September 2023 to obtain studies reporting outcomes after total shoulder arthroplasty and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty in patients with and without MHC. Study characteristics and information on clinical and functional outcomes were collected. All included studies were case-control studies. The methodological quality of the included primary studies was appraised using the methodological index for nonrandomized studies scoring. Results Eleven articles published between 2016 and 2023 met inclusion criteria. In total, 49,187 patients, 49,289 shoulders, and five different MHC were included. 8134 patients in the cohort had a diagnosed MHC. The mean patient age was 67.8 years (range, 63.5-71.6 years), and 52.6% of the patients were female. The mean follow-up time was 35.5 months (range, 16.2-58.3 months). Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty was the most common type of procedure (25,543 shoulders, 51.8%). Depression and anxiety were the most reported psychiatric diagnoses (7990 patients, 98.2%). Patients with versus without MHC reported mean improvements of 38 and 42 in American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons shoulder score and mean Visual Analog Scale pain improvements of 4.7 and 4.9, respectively. Mean complication rates of 31.4% and 14.2% were observed in patients with versus without MHC, respectively. The most prevalent surgical complication in patients with MHC was infection (1.8%), followed by prosthetic complication (1.7%), and adhesive capsulitis (1.6%). Conclusions Patients with MHC may have lower preoperative range of motion, worse postoperative shoulder function, and higher postoperative pain levels than patients without MHC. Patients with MHC demonstrated improvements in range of motion and functional outcomes after SA but had higher reported complication and revision rates when compared to patients without MHC. Depression and anxiety were the leading conditions correlated with lower outcomes in patients with MHC after SA. Preoperative physical therapy, mental health counseling, and expectation setting may help these patients reach the maximal achievable benefit from SA.

Abstract
Considering the fact that mental health illnesses increase with age, and that shoulder arthroplasty procedures are often indicated in the older population, exploring the relationship between mental health and shoulder arthroplasty outcomes can have pivotal implications for shoulder surgeons and patients worldwide. The literature has shown that patients with poor mental health report lower patient-reported outcomes, higher peri-operative complications (such as anemia, infection, delirium, and others), lengthier hospital stays, and higher readmission rates than the normal patient. Employing a holistic approach when managing shoulder arthroplasty patients is necessary for optimizing outcomes and setting up recovery expectations.

Abstract
PURPOSE Much of the current literature on total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) has assessed the impact of preoperative medical comorbidities on postoperative clinical outcomes. The literature concerning the impact of psychological disorders such as depression on TSA has increased in popularity in recent years, but there lacks a thorough review of the influence of depression on postoperative pain and functional outcomes. METHODS We queried PubMed/MEDLINE and identified six clinical studies that evaluated the influence of a psychiatric diagnosis of depression on patient outcomes after TSA. Studies that discussed the impacts of depression on TSA, including PROs or adverse events in adults, were included. Studies focused on other psychologic pathology, non-TSA shoulder treatments, or TSA not for primary osteoarthritis were excluded. Non-clinical studies, systematic reviews, letters to the editor, commentaries, dissertations, books, and book chapters were excluded. RESULTS Three cohort studies described patient-reported pain and functional outcomes and three database studies assessed the risk of postoperative complications. Cohort studies demonstrated that the prevalence of depression in patients undergoing TSA decreased from preoperatively to 12-months postoperatively. Two studies demonstrated that depression is an independent predictor of less pre- to postoperative improvement in the ASES score at minimum 2-year follow-up; however, one study found the difference between patients with and without depression did not exceed the minimum clinically important difference. Database studies demonstrated that depression was associated with higher rates of blood transfusion (n = 1, OR = 1.8), anemia (n = 1, OR = 1.65), wound infection (n = 2, OR = 1.41-2.09), prosthetic revision (n = 1, OR = 1.92), and length of hospital stay (n = 3, LOS = 2.5-3 days). CONCLUSION Although patients with a preoperative diagnosis of depression undergoing TSA can achieve satisfactory relief of shoulder pain and restoration of function, they may experience poorer patient-reported outcomes and a higher risk of postoperative adverse events compared to their peers. Surgeons should be cognizant of the influence of depression in their patients to facilitate proper patient selection that maximizes patient satisfaction, function, and minimizes the risk of adverse events following TSA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Primary aim; to determine the feasibility of implementation of the INTERMED Self-Assessment (IM-SA) in adult patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Secondary aim; to measure biopsychosocial complexity, referral to psychiatry or psychology in cases of complexity and to gain insight into the relation between biopsychosocial complexity and length of stay (LOS), method of discharge (MOD) and polypharmacy. METHODS A feasibility study was conducted with 76 participants in a general hospital in the Netherlands. Feasibility was determined by the number of completed questionnaires, time spent completing the questionnaire and the attitude of staff and patients towards the IM-SA. A cut off point ≥19 on the IM-SA was used to determine the prevalence of biopsychosocial complexity. A case file study was performed to check if referral to psychiatry or psychology had taken place. The Spearman's Rank Correlation Coefficient or Phi was used to determine if there was a relation between biopsychosocial complexity and LOS, MOD and polypharmacy. RESULTS All participants completed the IM-SA. The average time spent completing the questionnaire was 11.46 min (SD 5.74). The attitude towards the IM-SA was positive. The prevalence of biopsychosocial complexity was 11.84%. Referral to psychiatry or psychology did not take place. There was no relation between complexity and LOS (Spearman's rho (r) = 0.079, p = 0.499, MOD (Phi = 0.169, p = 0.173) and polypharmacy (Phi = 0.007, p = 0.953). CONCLUSION Biopsychosocial complexity can be identified in TKA patients during the pre-operative phase by using the IM-SA. Implementation of the IM-SA in a Dutch general hospital is feasible.

Abstract
Background Anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (ATSA) and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) reliably alleviate pain and restore shoulder function for a variety of indications. However, these procedures are not well-studied in patients with neurocognitive impairment. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether patients with dementia or mild cognitive impairment (MCI) have increased odds of surgical or medical complications following arthroplasty. Methods The PearlDiver database was queried from 2010 through October 2021 to identify a cohort of patients who underwent either ATSA or RTSA and had a minimum 2-year follow-up. Current Procedural Terminology and International Classification of Diseases codes were used to stratify this cohort into three groups: (1) patients with dementia, (2) patients with MCI, and (3) patients with neither condition. Surgical and medical complication rates were compared among these three groups. Results The overall prevalence of neurocognitive impairment among patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty was 3.0% in a cohort of 92,022 patients. Patients with dementia had increased odds of sustaining a periprosthetic humerus fracture (odds ratio [OR] = 1.46, P < .001), developing prosthesis instability (OR = 1.72, P < .001), and undergoing revision arthroplasty (OR = 1.55, P = .003) after RTSA compared to patients with normal cognition. ATSA patients with dementia did not have an elevated risk of surgical complications or revision. Conversely, RTSA patients with MCI did not have an elevated risk of complications or revision, although ATSA patients with MCI had greater odds of prosthesis instability (OR = 2.51, P = .008). Additionally, patients with neurocognitive impairment had elevated odds of medical complications compared to patients with normal cognition, including acute myocardial infarction and cerebrovascular accident. Conclusion Compared to patients with normal cognition, RTSA patients with preoperative dementia and ATSA patients with preoperative MCI are at increased risk for surgical complications. Moreover, both ATSA and RTSA patients with either preoperative MCI or dementia are at increased risk for medical complications. As the mean age in the U.S. continues to rise, special attention should be directed towards patients with neurocognitive impairment to minimize postoperative complications aftertotal shoulder arthroplasty, and the risks of this surgery more carefully discussed with patients and their families and caretakers.

[PMID: 37981972 PMCID: PMC10656966 DOI: 10.1177/17585732221137555] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2022] [Accepted: 10/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/21/2023]
Abstract
Background The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations between each mental health patient-reported outcome measure with postoperative functional outcomes following shoulder arthroplasty, and to compare psychometric properties of patient-reported outcomes measurement information system depression to the legacy (VR-12 Mental) patient-reported outcome measure. Methods Patients who underwent primary shoulder arthroplasty from July 2018 to February 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Patient-reported outcomes measurement information system depression and VR-12 Mental were administered preoperatively; American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons and Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation were administered at 6-month and 1-year postoperatively. Rasch partial credit modeling analysis was used to compare psychometric properties of legacy versus patient-reported outcomes measurement information system instruments in assessing mental health. Results Ninety-three patients who underwent total shoulder arthroplasty (n = 52), reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (n = 39), or hemiarthroplasty (n = 2) were included. Preoperative VR-12 Mental scores were moderately associated with American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons at 6-months (coefficient: 0.52, P = 0.026) and 1-year (coefficient: 0.65, P = 0.002), while preoperative patient-reported outcomes measurement information system depression scores were not. Patient-reported outcomes measurement information system depression demonstrated significant floor effects (16%); VR-12 Mental demonstrated minimal floor and ceiling effects (1.1% for both). VR-12 Mental demonstrated broader coverage of mental outlook on Rasch modeling than patient-reported outcomes measurement information system depression and had adequate model fit after one round of reiterative item elimination. Discussion Patient-reported outcomes measurement information system depression was poorly associated with postoperative American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons scores, demonstrated significant floor effects, and had limited coverage of mental health on Rasch modeling with reiterative elimination. Level of Evidence IV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A pre-existing mood and anxiety disorder (MAD) is often present in patients with rotator cuff pathology, but its presumed negative effect on the outcomes has not been demonstrated. AIM OF STUDY AND HYPOTHESIS The primary objective of this study was to evaluate how a history of MAD affects the clinical outcomes 1 year after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR). The secondary objectives were to evaluate how a history of MAD affects tendon healing, analgesic consumption and the occurrence of complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study population consisted of 219 patients (mean age 54.5±6.6 years) who underwent arthroscopic repair for a distal supraspinatus tendon tear, with 17% (38/219) presenting an history of MAD (depression, unspecified mood disorder, anxiety, and bipolar disorder). Using univariate and multivariate analyses, the joint range of motion, Constant score, analgesic consumption, occurrence of complications during the first postoperative year and tendon healing at 1 year (MRI or CT arthrography) were compared between the two groups (with or without MAD). RESULTS The Constant score was lower preoperatively in patients with history of MAD (-4 points, p=.04) but there were no significant differences between the two groups at the various postoperative follow-up time points (p>.05). No significant difference was found between the two groups of patients in their analgesic consumption at the various postoperative time points (p>.05), tendon healing at 1 year (p=.17) or the occurrence of postoperative complications (p=.59). DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION Pre-existing MAD had no effect on the clinical outcomes after arthroscopic RCR at 1 year and no effect on tendon healing, analgesic consumption or the occurrence of complications in our study population.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2023; 32:1886-1892. [PMID: 37044306 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2023.03.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/10/2022] [Revised: 02/19/2023] [Accepted: 03/11/2023] [Indexed: 04/14/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Current literature shows that the prevalence of depressive disorders (DD) is increasing in the United States. Patients with DD have worse outcomes after shoulder arthroplasty; however, properly defined inclusion and exclusion criteria evaluating the effects of DD on primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) are limited. The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of patients with and without DD undergoing primary RSA, evaluating: (1) in-hospital length of stay (LOS), (2) medical complications, (3) emergency department (ED) utilizations, and (4) cost of care. METHODS A retrospective query was performed using a nationwide administrative claims database from 2010 to 2020 for all patients who underwent primary RSA for the treatment of glenohumeral osteoarthritis. The query yielded a total of 24,326 patients within the study (DD, n = 4084) and comparison (without DD, n = 20,242) cohorts. The primary end points were in-hospital LOS, 90-day medical complications, and total 90-day episode of care costs. Subanalyses compared whether DD diagnosis and preoperative ED utilization within 6 months of RSA were associated with increased incidence and odds of postoperative ED utilization within 90 days. P values less than .004 were considered statistically significant. RESULTS Patients with DD undergoing primary RSA had significantly longer LOS (3 vs. 2 days, P < .0001) compared with patients without DD. The study group also had higher frequency and odds ratio (OR) of complications (47.40% vs. 17.63%; OR: 2.27, P < .0001) such as pneumonia (10.04% vs. 2.15%; OR: 2.88, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.47-3.35, P < .0001), cerebrovascular accidents (3.13% vs. 0.86%; OR: 2.69, 95% CI: 2.09-3.46, P < .0001), myocardial infarctions (1.98% vs. 0.51%; OR: 2.54, 95% CI: 1.84-3.50, P < .0001), and other adverse events. Among patients who had a diagnosis of DD, preoperative ED utilization within 6 months of RSA was associated with increased odds of postoperative ED utilization within 90 days compared with those without ED utilization preoperatively (15.08% vs. 13.64%; OR: 1.16, 95% CI: 1.04-1.28, P = .003). Controlling for preoperative ED utilization and comorbidities, patients with DD experienced a 2- to 3-fold increase in postoperative ED use within 90 days after surgery (P < .0001). Patients with DD also incurred significantly higher episode of care costs ($19,363.10 vs. $17,927.55, P < .0001). CONCLUSION This retrospective study shows that patients with DD undergoing primary RSA for the treatment of glenohumeral osteoarthritis have longer in-hospital LOS, higher rates of complications, and increased costs of care. Preoperative health care utilization among patients with DD may be associated with increased utilization postoperatively.

Abstract
Many surgeons seek to optimize their patients' comorbid conditions preoperatively to reduce postoperative complications. To effectively optimize patients before total shoulder arthroplasty, the surgeon should be familiar with recognizing and treating common medical comorbidities found in an orthopedic patient including anemia, diabetes, malnutrition, cardiovascular conditions, and history of deep venous thrombosis. Screening for depression or other mental illness should also be conducted preoperatively and managed accordingly before surgery. Preoperative opioid use and smoking have significant effects on postoperative outcomes and should be addressed before surgery.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate factors associated with postoperative anterior shoulder pain following arthroscopic suprapectoral biceps tenodesis (ABT) and to determine the clinical impact of postoperative anterior shoulder pain. Methods A retrospective study of patients that underwent ABT between 2016 and 2020 was conducted. Groups were categorized by the presence (ASP+) or absence (ASP-) of postoperative anterior shoulder pain. Patient-reported outcomes (American Shoulder and Elbow score [ASES], visual analog scale [VAS] for pain, subjective shoulder value [SSV]), strength, range of motion, and complication rates were analyzed. Differences between continuous and categorical variables were tested with two-sample t-tests and chi-squared or Fisher's exact tests, respectively. Variables collected at different postoperative timepoints were analyzed using mixed models with post hoc comparisons when significant interactions were detected. Results A total of 461 (47 ASP+, 414 ASP-) patients were included. A statistically significant lower mean age was observed in the ASP+ group (P < .001). A statistically significant higher prevalence of major depressive disorder (MDD) (P = .03) or any anxiety disorder (P = .002) was observed in the ASP+ group. Prescription medication with psychotropic medications (P = .01) was significantly more prevalent in the ASP+ group. No significant differences were observed in the proportion of individuals reaching the minimal clinical important difference (MCID) for ASES, VAS, or SSV between groups. Conclusions A pre-existing diagnosis of major depressive disorder or any anxiety disorder, as well as the use of psychotropic medications was associated with postoperative anterior shoulder pain following ABT. Other factors associated with anterior shoulder pain included younger age, participation in physical therapy before surgery, and lower rate of concomitant rotator cuff repair or subacromial decompression. Although the proportion of individuals reaching MCID did not differ between groups, the presence of anterior shoulder pain after ABT resulted in prolonged recovery, inferior PROs, and a higher incidence of repeat surgical procedures. The decision to perform ABT in patients diagnosed with MDD or anxiety should be carefully considered, given the correlation to postoperative anterior shoulder pain and inferior outcomes.

A Systematic Review Evaluating Outcomes, Healthcare Use, and Patient-reported Outcome Measures. Clin Orthop Relat Res 2023; 481:947-964. [PMID: 36730492 PMCID: PMC10097587 DOI: 10.1097/corr.0000000000002481] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2022] [Accepted: 10/12/2022] [Indexed: 02/04/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies evaluating the effects of a psychiatric illness on orthopaedic surgical outcomes have yielded mixed results. Because awareness of patient comorbid mental health disorders has become increasingly important to tailor treatment plans, the aim of our systematic review was to present the findings of all studies reporting on the association between clinically diagnosed psychiatric illnesses and total joint arthroplasty (TJA) outcomes and evaluate the quality of evidence to provide a comprehensive summary. QUESTION/PURPOSE Is there a consistently reported association between comorbid psychiatric illness and (1) complication risk, (2) readmission rates, (3) healthcare use and discharge disposition, and (4) patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after TJA? METHODS The PubMed, EBSCO host, Medline, and Google Scholar electronic databases were searched on April 9, 2022, to identify all studies that evaluated outcomes after TJA in patients with a comorbid clinically diagnosed mental health disorder between January 1, 2000, and April 1, 2022. Studies were included if the full-text article was available in English, reported on primary TJA outcomes in patients with clinically diagnosed mental health disorders, included patients undergoing TJA without a psychiatric illness for comparison, and had a minimum follow-up time of 30 days for evaluating readmission rates, 90 days for other perioperative outcomes such as length of stay and complications, and 1-year minimum follow-up if assessing PROMs. Studies that used a mental health screening examination instead of clinical diagnoses were excluded to isolate for verified psychiatric illnesses. Additionally, systematic reviews, case reports, duplicate studies between the databases, and gray literature were excluded. Twenty-one studies were included in our final analysis comprising 31,023,713 patients with a mean age range of 57 to 69 years. Mental health diagnoses included depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, major personality disorder, and psychosis as well as concomitant mental disorders. Two reviewers independently evaluated the quality of included studies using the Methodological Index for Nonrandomized Studies (MINORS) tool. The mean MINORS score was 19.5 ± 0.91 of 24, with higher scores representing better study quality. All the articles included were retrospective, comparative studies. Given the heterogeneity of the included studies, a meta-analysis was not performed, and results are instead presented descriptively. RESULTS Patients with schizophrenia were consistently reported to have higher odds of medical and surgical complications than patients without psychiatric illness, particularly anemia and respiratory complications. Among studies with the largest sample sizes, patients with depression alone or depression and anxiety had slightly higher odds of complications. Most studies identified higher odds of readmission among patients with depression, schizophrenia, and severe mental illness after TJA. However, for anxiety, there was no difference in readmission rates compared with patients without psychiatric illness. Slightly higher odds of emergency department visits were reported for patients with depression, anxiety, concomitant depression and anxiety, and severe mental illness across studies. When evaluating healthcare use, articles with the largest sample sizes reporting on depression and length of stay or discharge disposition found modestly longer length of stay and greater odds of nonhome discharge among patients with depression. Although several studies reported anxiety was associated with slightly increased total costs of hospitalization, the most robust studies reported no difference or slightly shorter average length of stay. However, the included studies only reported partial economic analyses of cost, leading to relatively superficial evidence. Patients with schizophrenia had a slightly longer length of stay and modestly lower odds of home discharge and cost. Likewise, patients with concomitant depression and anxiety had a slightly longer average length of stay, according to the two articles reporting on more than 1000 patients. Lastly, PROM scores were worse in patients with depression at a minimum follow-up of 1 year after TJA. For anxiety, there was no difference in improvement compared with patients without mental illness. CONCLUSION Our systematic review found that individuals with psychiatric illness had an increased risk of postoperative complications, increased length of stay, higher costs, less frequent home discharge, and worse PROM scores after TJA. These findings encourage inclusion of comorbid psychiatric illness when risk-stratifying patients. Attention should focus on perioperative interventions to minimize the risk of thromboembolic events, anemia, bleeding, and respiratory complications as well as adequate pain management with drugs that do not exacerbate the likelihood of these adverse events to minimize emergency department visits and readmissions. Future studies are needed to compare patients with concomitant psychiatric illnesses such as depression and anxiety with patients with either diagnosis in isolation, instead of only comparing patients with concomitant diagnoses with patients without any psychiatric illnesses. Similarly, the results of targeted interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy are needed to understand how orthopaedic surgeons might improve the quality of care for patients with a comorbid psychiatric illness.

Abstract
Background: Limited literature examines the relationship between surgical outcomes in
chronic foot and ankle conditions and concurrent psychiatric care. The
present study aimed to investigate patient-reported and surgical outcomes of
patients treated for a psychiatric disorder undergoing first
metatarsophalangeal (MTP) fusion for hallux rigidus. We hypothesized that
patients on psychotropic medications would have greater subjective pain
preoperatively and less improvement in physical and mental functionality
postoperatively when compared with nonmedicated patients. Methods: A single-center, retrospective review of prospectively collected data was
conducted on 92 patients undergoing first MTP fusion with a preoperative
diagnosis of hallux rigidus from 2015 to 2019. At their preoperative,
6-month postoperative, and 1-year postoperative visits, patients were
administered visual analog pain scale (VAS) and 36-Item Short Form Health
Survey (SF-36) functionality surveys. Patients were subsequently identified
by chronic use of psychotropic medication preoperatively and grouped for
analysis (MED, n = 42; NO MED, n = 50). Results: Postoperative mean VAS pain scores were lower for all studied patients at 6
months (VAS = 1.6 ± 2.3) and 1 year postoperatively (VAS = 1.1± 1.8)
relative to the preoperative visit (VAS = 4.7 ± 2.8)
(P ≤ .0001 and P ≤ .0001, respectively).
No differences in mean VAS pain scores nor SF-36 physical component summary
scores were detected at preoperative, 6-month, or 1-year visits between NO
MED and MED groups. Mean SF-36 mental component summary scores for those in
the MED group were lower at preoperative (NO MED = 83.8, MED = 71.8,
P = .006) and 6-month postoperative (NO MED = 86.1,
MED = 72.7, P = .037) visits than those in the NO MED
group, a trend not observed at the 1-year postoperative mark (NO MED = 84.1,
MED = 76.8, P = .228). There were no observed differences
in operative time (P = .219), tourniquet time
(P = .359), nor time to full weightbearing
(P = .512) between MED and NO MED groups. Additionally,
no differences in postoperative complication rates were observed between
groups. Conclusion: In patients treated with psychotropically active medications with hallux
rigidus, MTP Fusion appears to be a reasonable treatment choice with similar
outcomes for patients requiring psychotropically active medications to the
outcomes of those patients not requiring psychotropically active
medications. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective comparative study.

Effect of documented and undocumented psychiatric conditions on length of stay and discharge destination after total knee arthroplasty. Arch Orthop Trauma Surg 2023; 143:1571-1578. [PMID: 35318485 DOI: 10.1007/s00402-022-04415-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2021] [Accepted: 03/01/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Length of stay (LOS) and readmissions are quality metrics linked to physician payments and substantially impact the cost of care. This study aims to evaluate the effect of documented and undocumented psychiatric conditions on LOS, discharge location, and readmission following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS Retrospective review of all primary, unilateral TKA from 2015 to 2020 at a high-volume, academic orthopedic hospital was conducted. Patients were separated into three cohorts: patients with a documented psychiatric diagnosis (+Dx), patients without a documented psychiatric diagnosis but with an actively prescribed psychiatric medication (-Dx), and patients without a psychiatric diagnosis or medication (control). Patient demographics, LOS, discharge location, and 90 days readmissions were assessed. RESULTS A total of 2935 patients were included; 1051 patients had no recorded psychiatric medications (control); 1884 patients took at least one psychiatric medication, of which 1161 (61.6%) were in the-Dx and 723 (38.4%) were in the +Dx cohort. Operative time (+Dx, 103.4 ± 29.1 and -Dx, 103.1 ± 28.5 vs. 93.6 ± 26.2 min, p < 0.001 for both comparisons) and hospital LOS stay (+ Dx, 3.00 ± 1.70 and -Dx, 3.01 ± 1.83 vs. 2.82 ± 1.40 days, p = 0.021 and p = 0.006, respectively) were greater for patients taking psychiatric medications when compared to the control group. Patients taking psychiatric medication with or without associated diagnosis were significantly more likely to be discharged to a secondary facility-22.8% and 20.9%, respectively-compared to controls, at 12.5% (p < 0.001). Ninety-day readmission rates did not differ between the control and both psychiatric groups (p = 0.693 and p = 0.432, respectively). CONCLUSION TKA patients taking psychiatric medications with or without a documented psychiatric diagnosis have increased hospital LOS and higher chances of discharge to a secondary facility. Most patients taking psychiatric medication also had no associated diagnosis. Payment models should consider the presence of undocumented psychiatric diagnoses when constructing metrics. Surgeons and institutions should also direct their attention to identifying, recording, and managing these patients to improve outcomes. LEVEL III EVIDENCE Retrospective Cohort Study.

BACKGROUND There is limited literature exploring how nonmedical factors such as social determinants of health (SDOHs) are associated with postoperative outcomes following shoulder arthroplasty. METHODS A retrospective cohort review of the Pearl Diver Database was used to capture patients undergoing either primary anatomic total or reverse shoulder arthroplasty from the fourth quarter of 2015 to the third quarter of 2019 with at least 1 year of active longitudinal follow-up. Patients with proximal humeral fractures, stress fractures, or septic arthritis were excluded. The included patients were then divided into 2 cohorts based on the presence of current SDOHs or a history of SDOHs. The SDOH cohort comprised 4 non-mutually exclusive categories: economic, educational, social, and environmental disparities. Subsequently, a control cohort was matched at a 1:1 ratio to the SDOH cohort. Primary outcome measures were assessed using a logistic regression and consisted of the following 90-day postoperative complications: minor and major medical complications and infection. Emergency department (ED) visits and readmissions for any cause were also assessed. Additionally, the following 1-year outcomes were assessed: aseptic loosening, instability, and revision arthroplasty. Surgical costs and 90-day postoperative costs were collected using averaged insurance reimbursements for both the control and SDOH cohorts. RESULTS There were 5190 patients in each cohort. Economic disparities made up the largest portion of the SDOH cohort (n = 4631, 89.2%), followed by social (n = 741, 14.3%), environmental (n = 417, 8.0%), and educational (n = 99, 1.9%) disparities. Compared with the control cohort, SDOHs were associated with an increased risk of major complications (2.3% vs. 1.4%; odds ratio [OR], 1.55; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.29-1.87; P < .001), minor complications (5.7% vs. 3.8%; OR, 1.62; 95% CI, 1.21-1.95; P = .001), readmissions (4.3% vs. 2.8%; OR, 1.56; 95% CI, 1.26-1.84; P < .001), and ED visits (15.2% vs. 11.0%; OR, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.29-1.63; P < .001) within 90 days following surgery. Additionally, SDOHs were associated with an increased risk of aseptic loosening (1.1% vs. 0.6%; OR, 1.85; 95% CI, 1.20-2.65; P = .006), instability (4.0% vs. 2.2%; OR, 1.80; 95% CI, 1.43-2.28; P < .001), and ipsilateral revision (9.2% vs. 7.6%; OR, 1.24; 95% CI, 1.08-1.43; P < .001) at 1 year postoperatively compared with the control cohort. CONCLUSION SDOHs are associated with increased rates of adverse outcomes following shoulder arthroplasty including revision surgery, ED visits, length of stay, and overall cost compared with matched controls without SDOHs. Specifically, economic and educational disparities are associated with increased rates of adverse outcomes following surgery including revision surgery, ED visits, length of stay, and overall cost.

Perioperative risk stratification tools for shoulder arthroplasty: a systematic review. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2023; 32:e293-e304. [PMID: 36621747 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2022.12.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2022] [Revised: 11/14/2022] [Accepted: 12/09/2022] [Indexed: 01/07/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Risk stratification tools are being increasingly utilized to guide patient selection for outpatient shoulder arthroplasty. The purpose of this study was to identify the existing calculators used to predict discharge disposition, postoperative complications, hospital readmissions, and patient candidacy for outpatient shoulder arthroplasty and to compare the specific components used to generate their prediction models. METHODS This review was conducted in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis protocol. PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and OVID Medline were searched for studies that developed calculators used to determine patient candidacy for outpatient surgery or predict discharge disposition, the risk of postoperative complications, and hospital readmissions after anatomic or reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). Reviews, case reports, letters to the editor, and studies including hemiarthroplasty cases were excluded. Data extracted included authors, year of publication, study design, patient population, sample size, input variables, comorbidities, method of validation, and intended purpose. The pros and cons of each calculator as reported by the respective authors were evaluated. RESULTS Eleven publications met inclusion criteria. Three tools assessed patient candidacy for outpatient TSA, 3 tools evaluated the risk of 30- or 90-day hospital readmission and postoperative complications, and 5 tools predicted discharge destination. Four calculators validated previously constructed comorbidity indices used as risk predictors after shoulder arthroplasty, including the Charlson Comorbidity Index, Elixhauser Comorbidity Index, modified Frailty Index, and the Outpatient Arthroplasty Risk Assessment, while 7 developed newcalculators. Nine studies utilized multiple logistic regression to develop their calculators, while 1 study developed their algorithm based on previous literature and 1 used univariate analysis. Five tools were built using data from a single institution, 2 using data pooled from 2 institutions, and 4 from large national databases. All studies used preoperative data points in their algorithms with one tool additionally using intraoperative data points. The number of inputs ranged from 5 to 57 items. Four calculators assessed psychological comorbidities, 3 included inputs for substance use, and 1 calculator accounted for race. CONCLUSION The variation in perioperative risk calculators after TSA highlights the need for standardization and external validation of the existing tools. As the use of outpatient shoulder arthroplasty increases, these calculators may become outdated or require revision. Incorporation of socioeconomic and psychological measures into these calculators should be investigated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There is limited evidence exploring the relationship between mental health disorders and the readmissions following total joint arthroplasty (TJA). Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the relationship between mental health disorders and the risk of readmission following TJA. METHODS We searched PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar from their inception till April 19, 2022. Studies exploring the association of mental health disorders and readmission risk following TJA were selected. The outcomes were divided into 30-day readmission, 90-day readmission, and readmission after 90 days. We also performed subgroup analyses based on the type of arthroplasty: total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A total of 12 studies were selected, of which 11 were included in quantitative analysis. A total of 1,345,893 patients were evaluated, of which 73,953 patients suffered from mental health disorders. RESULTS The risk of 30-day readmission (odds ratio = 1.43, 95% CI 1.14-1.80, P = .002, I2 = 87%) and 90-day readmission (OR = 1.35, 95% CI 1.22-1.49, P < .00001, I2 = 89%) was significantly associated with mental health disorders. On subgroup analyses, 30-day readmission was significantly associated with THA (OR = 1.29, 95% CI 1.04-1.60, P = .02), but not with TKA (OR = 1.44, 95% CI 0.51-4.06, P = .50). Similarly, 90-day readmission was significantly associated with both THA (OR = 1.21, 95% CI 1.14-1.29, P < .00001) and TKA (OR = 1.33, 95% CI 1.17-1.51, P < .0001). CONCLUSION Mental health disorders are significantly associated with increased 30-day and 90-day readmissions. Increasing awareness regarding mental health disorders and readmission in arthroplasty will help in efficient preoperative risk stratification and better postoperative management in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anxiety and depression are the 2 most commonly diagnosed psychiatric disorders in the United States. The effect of these disorders on total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) outcomes must be appreciated. The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between a preoperative diagnosis of anxiety and depression and postoperative outcomes after TSA. The secondary goals were to determine whether patients contemporaneously treated with medication for their mental health diagnosis fared better than a cohort treated without medication and to examine the degree to which Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Mental Health (PROMIS-MH) scores correlate with patient outcomes. Our hypothesis was that a history of anxiety and/or depression would negatively impact patient outcomes after TSA. METHODS We performed a retrospective analysis of a prospectively collected cohort at a single institution. Patients undergoing anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (rTSA) with anxiety and/or depression were identified and compared with a cohort of patients without a mental health diagnosis enrolled in an institutional registry from 2011 to 2020. Demographic characteristics, diagnoses, implant types, range of motion, adverse events, and clinical outcome metric scores-PROMIS-MH score, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, Constant score, Shoulder Arthroplasty Smart Score-were recorded. Outcomes between cohorts were analyzed using conventional statistics, as well as stratification by the minimal clinically important difference and substantial clinical benefit thresholds where applicable. RESULTS The study comprised 218 patients (114 rTSA and 95 aTSA patients) with a diagnosis of either anxiety and/or depression and 378 patients (153 rTSA and 217 aTSA patients) with no history. Although both cohorts achieved the minimal clinically important difference and substantial clinical benefit thresholds for the postoperative American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score, the cohort with anxiety and/or depression showed lower postoperative outcome scores (P < .05), higher AE rates, and significantly lower preoperative-to-postoperative differences in all variables when compared with the cohort without anxiety and/or depression. There were no differences in outcome scores after rTSA or aTSA between patients being treated for anxiety and/or depression and those not receiving treatment. The PROMIS-MH score was positively correlated with postoperative outcomes and patient satisfaction. CONCLUSION This study shows that patients with anxiety and/or depression who underwent TSA had inferior postoperative outcomes and higher rates of AEs compared with a cohort without a mental health diagnosis. In addition, patients taking medication for treatment of depression and/or anxiety did not gain any significant benefit in terms of their postoperative shoulder outcomes or satisfaction rate compared with those with this diagnosis but not taking medication. Additionally, we found that, independent of a patient's underlying shoulder pathology or psychiatric diagnosis, lower PROMIS-MH scores were correlated with worse postoperative outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE To assess the relationship between pre-operative psychological state, postoperative pain and function one year after total shoulder, hip or knee arthroplasty. METHODS Patients undergoing shoulder, hip or knee arthroplasty between March 2014 and November 2015 were included. Pain catastrophizing score (PCS) was determined preoperatively, at six months and at one year follow-up. Joint pain at rest was quantified using a Visual Analogue Scale (0‒100). Depressive symptoms were measured using the Beck Depression Inventory or Geriatric Depression Score, situational anxiety and dispositional anxiety were measured using the State-Trait Inventory and joint function was assessed using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index for the hip and knee and Oxford Shoulder Score for the shoulder. RESULTS A total of 266 patients were included (65% female; mean (± SD) age: 71.8 ± 10.3 years; mean body mass index: 27.5 ± 5.0 kg/m2). Pre-operative PCS was significantly correlated with pain > 30/100 at one year and with functional scores, for all joints. Multivariate analysis identified the following variables as risk factors for pain intensity > 30/100 at one year: pre-operative PCS > 20/52 (OR = 3.5 ± 1.1 [95% CI: 1.9‒6.6]; p = 0.0001), trait-anxiety score ≥ 46 (OR = 2.4 ± 0.9 [95% CI: 1.1‒5.2]; p = 0.03), pre-operative pain ≥ 60/100 (OR = 3.2 ± 1 [95% CI: 1.8‒6.1]; p = 0.0001) and pain for at least 3 years (OR = 1.8 ± 0.6 [95% CI: 1‒3.4]; p = 0.04). CONCLUSION Pre-operative pain catastrophizing and trait-anxiety are risk factors for post-operative pain after shoulder, hip and knee arthroplasty. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER www.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Chronic pain is a multifaceted disorder genuinely entangled with psychic and psychosomatic symptoms, which are typically involved in the processes of chronification. The impingement syndrome of the shoulder is no exception to this rule, but several studies have shown respective peculiarities among those with pain and impingement of the shoulder. Notably, chronic pain is a lateralized experience, and, similarly, its psychosomatic correlates may be attached to the hemispheres functionally. AIM The present review therefore gives an overview of the respective findings, with regard not only to psychopathology, but also to personality factors and psychologic trauma, since the latter are reportedly associated with chronic pain. Moreover, we acknowledge symmetry as a possible pathogenic factor. METHODS This narrative review followed the current standards for conducting narrative studies. Based on prior findings, our research strategy included the relevance of psychotraumatologic and symmetrical aspects, as well as comorbidity. We retrieved the relevant literature reporting on the impact of psychopathology as well as personality features on shoulder pain, as published up to January 2022 from the Medline database (1966-2022). Study selecton: We included numerous studies, and considered the contextual relevance of studies referring to the neuropsychosomatics of chronic pain. RESULTS Pain-specific fears, depression, and anxiety are important predictors of shoulder pain, and the latter is generally overrepresented in those with trauma and PTSD. Moreover, associations of shoulder pain with psychological variables are stronger as regards surgical therapies as compared to conservative ones. This may point to a specific and possibly trauma-related vulnerability for perioperative maladaptation. Additionally, functional hemispheric lateralization may explain some of those results given that limb pain is a naturally lateralized experience. Not least, psychosocial risk factors are shared between shoulder pain and its physical comorbidities (e.g., hypertension), and the incapacitated state of the shoulder is a massive threat to the function of the human body as a whole. CONCLUSIONS This review suggests the involvement of psychosomatic and psychotraumatologic factors in shoulder impingement-related chronic pain, but the inconclusiveness and heterogeneity of the literature in the field is possibly suggestive of other determinants such as laterality.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite improving diagnostic and surgical techniques, some patients do not respond as well as others following hip arthroscopy. In most musculoskeletal studies, predictors for surgical outcomes focus solely on physical health prior to surgery. However, there likely exists a relationship between a patient's mental health and their postoperative patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). METHODS 40 patients who met indications for hip arthroscopy were enrolled in this prospective cohort study. All patients completed a baseline Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) and 4validated PROMs: modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), visual analogue scale for pain (VAS), Hip Outcomes Score for Activities of Daily Living (HOS-Daily), and Hip Outcomes Score for Sports-Related Activities (HOS-Sport). For a secondary measure of psychometric evaluation, past medical histories of anxiety/depression were recorded. Patients were stratified into Low Resilience (LR < 21), Normal Resilience (NR 22-24), and High Resilience (HR > 25) by tertile to determine differences in PROMs. Comparisons and correlations of pre- and postoperative outcomes between resilience groups were performed. RESULTS In comparing the LR and HR groups, there was a significant relationship between resilience and all PROMs both preoperatively and 6 months postoperatively (p < 0.05), with the exception of the HOS-Sports. Pearson Correlation Coefficients confirmed this trend in the mHHS and the HOS-Daily. Additionally, there were sixteen patients who were discharged prior to 6-month follow-up with an average resilience above the mean of total population (p < 0.0001). Resilience was associated with return to activity (p = 0.017). A past history of anxiety/depression was associated with lower resilience (p = 0.039). CONCLUSIONS This study showed that HR hip arthroscopy patients had better PROMs than LR patients both preoperatively and postoperatively. HR patients were able to return to activity earlier and had lower rates of preoperative anxiety/depression. The BRS is a simple in-office screening tool, which may help guide patient and doctor communication and expectations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) is increasing in incidence. While preoperative depression is known to affect outcomes following other procedures, its effect on outcomes following TAA are unknown. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate this relationship. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study using the Nationwide Readmission Database (NRD). All patients undergoing TAA were included. Two cohorts (those with and without preoperative depression) were created. Logistic regression was then performed to assess the contribution of a preoperative diagnosis of depression on rates of 90-day complications, while controlling for patient demographic and comorbid data. RESULTS Overall, 8047 patients were included, of whom, 11.4% (918) were depressed. Compared to patients without depression, patients with depression had increased odds of the following: nonhome discharge (OR 1.61, 95% CI 1.31-1.98), extended length of stay (>2 days; OR 1.34, 95% CI 1.15-1.57), prosthetic complication (OR 1.39, 95% CI 1.10-1.74), wound complication (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.11-2.29), prosthetic joint infection (OR 1.82, 95% CI 1.06-3.15), superficial surgical site infection (OR 1.62, 95% CI 1.02-2.58), and medical complication (OR 1.32, 95% CI 1.03-1.68). DISCUSSION Depression in patients undergoing TAA is common and is associated with increased health care utilization and complications following surgery. The modifiability of depression should be investigated with future studies. LEVELS OF EVIDENCE Prognostic, Level III: Comparative study.

Abstract
Background This study investigated the utility of depression and anxiety symptom screening in patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty to examine differences in active symptoms according to patients' mental health diagnoses and associated prescription medications. Material and methods This cross-sectional study analyzed 594 patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty at a tertiary practice between June 2018 and December 2018. Patients completed Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurements Information System (PROMIS) Depression and Anxiety Computerized Adaptive Tests in clinic quantifying active symptoms. Mental health diagnoses and associated medications were extracted from health records. Statistical analysis assessed between-group differences in mean PROMIS scores and the prevalence of heightened depressive and anxiety symptoms. Results Multivariable linear regression modeling demonstrated that being diagnosed with depression without medication (β 7.1; P < .001) and with medication (β 8.6; P < .001) were each associated with higher PROMIS Depression scores. Similar modeling demonstrated that patients diagnosed with anxiety and prescribed an anxiolytic (β 8.4; P < .001) were associated with higher PROMIS Anxiety scores than undiagnosed patients. Eighty-six (15%) patients experienced heightened anxiety and/or depressive symptoms. Heightened depressive symptoms were more prevalent among those diagnosed with depression (19% without medication, 24% with antidepressant vs 5% undiagnosed: P < .001). Heightened anxiety symptoms were most prevalent among those diagnosed with anxiety and on anxiolytic medication (25% vs 7% diagnosed with anxiety without medication, 8% undiagnosed: P < .001). Conclusion One in seven arthroplasty patients screened reported heightened depressive and/or anxiety symptoms. Despite the majority of arthroplasty patients on antidepressants and anxiolytics having symptoms controlled, these patients remain at increased risk of heightened active symptoms.

Abstract
Background: Resilience is the ability to recover after stressful events and has been shown to correlate with surgical outcomes. However, there has been minimal research on the impact of patient resiliency on foot and ankle surgical outcomes. This study aims to determine the predictive value of preoperative resiliency scores on surgical outcomes and investigate how this compares with the predictive value of pain scores. Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of adult patients who completed a preoperative Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) and underwent surgery between November 2019 and November 2020 with a fellowship-trained foot and ankle surgeon (N=184). Data included demographics, comorbidities, surgical details, complication and reoperation rates, pre- and postoperative opioid and benzodiazepine use, and additional patient-reported outcome measures (ie, visual analog scale [VAS], Pain Catastrophizing Scale [PCS], Pain Disability Index [PDI], Foot and Ankle Outcome Score [FAOS] pain subscale). Mean follow-up duration was 4.49 (range, 1.10-14.17) months. Results: BRS weakly correlated with decreased postoperative benzodiazepine use ( P=.007). PCS magnification ( P=.050) and helplessness ( P=.047) subscales weakly correlated with increased follow-up duration. PDI total score and most subscores significantly correlated with an increase in at least 1 of the following: follow-up duration, or postoperative opioid or benzodiazepine use. Neither the VAS nor FAOS pain subscore correlated with any outcome. PDI total score was the strongest predictor of postoperative opioid (β=0.334) and benzodiazepine (β=0.315) use. Preoperative opioid users had significantly higher PDI total score (user=39.3, nonuser=24.9; P=.012) and subscores (ie, social activity, sexual behavior, self-care, life-support activities). Conclusion: BRS is an unreliable tool for predicting outcomes in foot and ankle surgery, as it only weakly correlated with decreased benzodiazepine use. Rather, given the PDI’s strong associations with postoperative measures in this study, physicians should consider the value of preoperative PDI completion when predicting how foot and ankle surgery recipients will fare postoperatively. Level of Evidence: Level III, retrospective cohort study.

Comparison of patient-demographics, causes, and costs of 90-day readmissions following primary total shoulder arthroplasty for glenohumeral osteoarthritis. J Orthop 2022; 31:52-56. [PMID: 35392136 PMCID: PMC8980302 DOI: 10.1016/j.jor.2022.03.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/15/2022] [Revised: 03/28/2022] [Accepted: 03/29/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022] Open
Abstract
Introduction Readmissions following orthopaedic surgery are associated with worse outcomes and increased healthcare costs. Studies investigating trends, causes, and costs of readmissions following primary total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) for the indication of glenohumeral osteoarthritis (OA) are limited. The objective was to compare: 1) patient-demographics of those readmitted and not readmitted within 90-days following primary TSA for OA; 2) causes of readmissions and 3) associated costs. Methods A retrospective query from 2005 to 2014 was performed using a nationwide administrative claims database. The study group consisted of patients readmitted within 90-days following primary TSA for glenohumeral OA, whereas patients not readmitted served as controls. Causes of readmission were stratified into the following groups: cardiovascular, hematological, endocrine, gastrointestinal (GI), musculoskeletal (MSK), neoplastic, neurological, pulmonary, infectious, renal, and miscellaneous causes. Patient demographics were compared, in addition to the frequency of the causes of readmissions, and their associated costs. Chi-square analyses compared demographics between groups. Analysis of variance was utilized to determine differences in 90-day costs for the causes of readmission. A p-value less than 0.001 was significant. Results The overall 90-day readmission rate was 2.4% (3432/143,878). Patients readmitted following primary TSA were more likely to be over the age of 75, female, and higher prevalence of comorbid conditions, including psychiatric and medical conditions. Readmitted patients had a higher overall comorbidity burden per mean Elixhauser-Comorbidity Index (ECI) scores (10 vs. 7,p < .0001). The leading cause of readmissions were due to MSK (17.34%), cardiac (16.28%), infectious (16.26%), and gastrointestinal (11.64%) etiologies. There were differences in the mean 90-day costs of care for the various causes of readmissions, with the leading cost of readmissions being cardiac causes ($10,913.70) and MSK ($10,590.50) etiologies. Conclusion Patients with greater comorbidities experienced increased incidence of readmission following TSA for glenohumeral OA. Cardiac and MSK etiologies were the primary cause of readmissions. Level of evidence III.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The number of revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedures is increasing in the US. Revision THA is associated with higher complication rates compared with primary THA. We describe patterns in incidence and risk factors for perioperative death after revision THA. METHODS Using the National Hospital Discharge Survey, we identified nearly 700,000 cases of revision THA from 1990 through 2010. Procedure incidence, perioperative mortality rates, comorbidities, discharge disposition, and duration of hospital stay were analysed. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify independent risk factors for perioperative death. Alpha = 0.01. RESULTS Population-adjusted incidence of revision THA per 100,000 people increased from 9.2 cases in 1990 to 15 cases in 2010 (p < 0.001). The rate of perioperative death was 0.9% during the study period and decreased from 1.5% during the "first" period (1990-1999) to 0.5% during the "second" period (2000-2010) (p < 0.001), despite an increase in comorbidity burden over time. Factors associated with the greatest odds of perioperative death were acute myocardial infarction (odds ratio [OR], 37; 95% confidence interval [CI], 33-40; p < 0.001), pneumonia (OR, 16; 95% CI, 15-18; p < 0.001), and pulmonary embolism (OR, 13; 95% CI, 11-15; p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS The rate of perioperative death in patients undergoing revision THA in the US decreased from 1990 to 2010 despite an increase in comorbidities. Acute myocardial infarction, pneumonia, and pulmonary embolism were associated with the highest odds of perioperative death after revision THA.

Psychological dysfunction associated with calcaneal fractures. Injury 2021; 52:2475-2478. [PMID: 34059323 DOI: 10.1016/j.injury.2021.05.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2021] [Revised: 04/18/2021] [Accepted: 05/06/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The calcaneus is the most commonly fractured hindfoot bone, accounting for over 60% of all tarsal fractures. The aim of this study was to compare the mechanism of injury and psychological health status in patients presenting with calcaneal fractures to an age- and sex-matched control group with ankle fractures. PATIENTS AND METHODS This retrospective study was undertaken within an orthopaedic unit at a tertiary hospital. An electronic medical record chart review was performed to identify eligible patients. Descriptive statistics were used to summarise the demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients. Between-group differences were analysed with the Mann-Whitney U test and Fisher's exact test for continuous and categorical variables, respectively. Multivariable binary logistic regression was used to determine the relationship between fracture type and underlying psychopathology, adjusting for mechanism of injury. RESULTS Two-hundred and fifteen patients met the eligibility criteria for calcaneal fractures and these patients were subsequently matched to 215 ankle fracture patients. Men accounted for 154 (71.6%) of the patients in each group. Over half (51.2%) of all calcaneal fractures were due to an uncontrolled fall above one-metre, as opposed to 26.0% of ankle fractures, p < 0.001. Falling from a standing height was more common in the ankle fracture group, 37 (17.2%) versus 10 (4.7%), p < 0.001. Patients with calcaneal fractures were more likely to have a diagnosed psychological health complaint, 63 (29.3%) versus 32 (14.9%), p < 0.001. Suicidal ideation was significantly more common in the calcaneal fracture group 14 (6.5%) versus 3 (1.4%), p = 0.011. The presence of premorbid psychopathology was associated with calcaneal fracture, after adjusting for mechanism of injury (odds ratio 2.20, 95% confidence interval 1.32 to 3.65, p = 0.003). CONCLUSION Calcaneal and ankle fractures display differences in both the mechanism of injury and the history of psychological health conditions. However, after adjusting for the mechanism of injury, diagnosed premorbid psychopathology remains twice as likely in someone with a calcaneal fracture as opposed to an ankle fracture. It may be prudent for orthopaedic surgeons to consider further investigations of psychological health when managing patients with a calcaneal fracture.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Vascular surgery can be common among people with serious mental illness (SMI) given the high prevalence of cardiovascular disease. However, post-operative outcomes following vascular surgery have received little investigation, particularly in a subpopulation of SMI. METHODS We conducted a retrospective observational study using data from the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust (SLaM) via its Clinical Record Interactive Search (CRIS) platform and linkage with Hospital Episode Statistic (HES). Vascular surgery recipients were identified using OPCS version 4 codes. Length of stay (LOS) was modelled using Incidence Rate Ratios (IRRs), and 30-day emergency hospital readmissions using Odds Ratios (ORs) for people with SMI compared with the general population. RESULTS Vascular surgery was received by 152 patients with SMI diagnoses (schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, bipolar disorder) and 8821 catchment residents without any mental health conditions. People with active SMI symptoms more likely to be admitted to hospital via emergency route OR: 1.80 (95% CI: 1.06, 3.07) and more likely to stay longer in the hospital for vascular surgery IRR: 1.35 (1.01, 1.80) and more likely to be readmitted to hospital via emergency route within 30 days OR: 1.53 (1.02, 2.67). People with SMI who had major open vascular surgery and peripheral endovascular surgery more likely to have worse post-operative outcomes. CONCLUSION Our study highlights the risks faced by people with SMI following vascular surgery. These suggest tailored guidelines and policies are needed, based on the identification of pre-operative risk factors, allowing for focused post-vascular surgery care to minimise adverse outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective was to assess the association of mental health disorders with in-hospital complication and mortality rates in patients undergoing head and neck cancer surgery. METHODS In this exploratory retrospective study, the Nationwide Inpatient Sample was queried from 2003 to 2014 for all patients with a diagnosis of head and neck cancer who underwent surgery. Univariate cross-tabulation, logistic regression, and propensity score matching (PSM) were used to compare demographics, procedure-related variables, and in-hospital postoperative complications and mortality between patients with and without selected comorbid mental health disorders. RESULTS Of 39 600 included patients, 3390 (8.6%) had a selected comorbid mental health disorder diagnosis. After PSM, patients with selected mental health disorders had increased risk of overall medical complications on multivariable analysis (OR 1.28 [CI 1.12-1.46], P < 0.001) but not overall surgical complications or mortality. CONCLUSIONS Patients with a mental health disorder diagnosis have increased risk of in-hospital medical, certain surgical, and total complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE To establish thresholds for improvement in patient-reported outcome scores that correspond with clinically significant outcomes (CSOs) including the minimal clinically important difference (MCID), substantial clinical benefit (SCB), and patient acceptable symptomatic state (PASS) for Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) upper extremity (UE) computer adaptive testing (CAT) and pain interference (PIF) CAT after biceps tenodesis (BT) and to assess patient variables that are associated with achieving these outcomes. METHODS After institutional review board approval was obtained, a prospectively maintained institutional database was queried for patients undergoing BT between December 2017 and August 2019. Patients undergoing BT in isolation or BT in conjunction with rotator cuff debridement, SLAP repair, subacromial decompression, or distal clavicle excision were included in the analysis. Anchor- and distribution-based methods were used to calculate the MCID whereas an anchor-based method was used to calculate SCB and the PASS for PROMIS UE CAT and PIF CAT. RESULTS A total of 112 patients (86.8% follow-up) who underwent BT were included for analysis. The MCID, net SCB, absolute SCB, and PASS for PROMIS UE CAT were 4.02, 9.25, 43.4, and 41.1, respectively. The MCID, net SCB, absolute SCB, and PASS for PROMIS PIF CAT were -4.12, -10.7, 52.4, and 52.4, respectively. Higher preoperative UE CAT and PIF CAT scores, preoperative opioid use, depression, and living alone were negative predictors of CSO achievement. Male sex and regular participation in exercise were positive predictors of CSO achievement. CONCLUSIONS Patients with higher preoperative UE scores were less likely to achieve the MCID (odds ratio [OR], 0.84), whereas patients with higher preoperative PIF scores were less likely to achieve absolute SCB and the PASS (OR, 0.83-0.89). Most patients achieved the MCID for PIF CAT (70.5%) and UE CAT (62.5%) at final follow-up. Male sex (OR, 4.38-9.15) and regular exercise participation (OR, 6.45-18.94) positively predicted CSO achievement, whereas preoperative opioid use (OR, 0.06), depression (OR, 0.23), and living alone (OR, 0.90) were negative predictors of CSO achievement.

Abstract
» Acetaminophen is an effective addition to a multimodal pain regimen; however, evidence to support intravenous versus oral administration requires further evaluation. » While nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are a valuable addition to a multimodal pain strategy, concerns regarding their effect on healing after certain procedures (i.e., rotator cuff repair) in select patients may preclude their use. » The use of perioperative gabapentinoids have varied results for pain control, and additional research is warranted to support their use after certain shoulder procedures. » Opioid-prescribing should be limited and reserved for severe postoperative pain. When prescribed, opioids should be taken at the lowest possible dose and for the shortest period. » Centrally acting analgesics such as tramadol have been shown to be as effective as opioids and have a lower risk of complications. » Nerve blocks are an excellent addition to multimodal pain management strategies. Longer-lasting formulations of perioperative single-shot injections and indwelling catheters may reduce rebound pain.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the association between having a serious mental illness and surgical outcomes for adults, including in-hospital and 30-day mortality, post-operative complications, and hospital length of stay. STUDY DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis of publications in English to 30 July 2018 of studies that examined associations between having a serious mental illness and surgical outcomes for adults who underwent elective surgery. Primary outcomes were in-hospital and 30-day mortality, post-operative complications, and length of hospital stay. Risk of bias was assessed with the Quality in Prognosis Studies (QUIPS) tool. Studies were grouped by serious mental illness diagnosis and outcome measures. Odds ratios (ORs) or mean differences (MDs), with 95% confidence intervals (CIs), were calculated in random effects models to provide pooled effect estimates. DATA SOURCES MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsychINFO, and the Cochrane Library. DATA SYNTHESIS Of the 3824 publications identified by our search, 26 (including 6 129 806 unique patients) were included in our analysis. The associations between having any serious mental illness diagnosis and having any post-operative complication (ten studies, 125 624 patients; pooled effect: OR, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.15-1.79) and a longer stay in hospital (ten studies, 5 385 970 patients; MD, 2.6 days; 95% CI, 0.8-4.4 days) were statistically significant, but not those for in-hospital mortality (three studies, 42 926 patients; OR, 1.21; 95% CI, 0.69-2.12) or 30-day mortality (six studies, 83 013 patients; OR, 1.85; 95% CI, 0.86-3.99). CONCLUSIONS Having a serious mental illness is associated with higher rates of post-operative complications and longer stays in hospital, but not with higher in-hospital or 30-day mortality. Targeted pre-operative interventions may improve surgical outcomes for these vulnerable patients. SYSTEMATIC REVIEW REGISTRATION PROSPERO, CRD42018080114 (prospective).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to investigate whether patients with depressive disorders undergoing primary total shoulder arthroplasty have higher rates of (1) in-hospital lengths of stay, (2) readmission rates, (3) medical complications, and (4) implant-related complications. METHODS A retrospective query was performed using a national claims database. Study group patients were matched to controls in a 1:5 ratio according to age, sex, and medical comorbidities. The query yielded 113,648 patients who were with (n = 18,953) and without (n = 94,695) depressive disorders. Pearson's χ2 analyses were used to compare patient demographics. Logistic regression analyses were used to calculate odds-ratios of complications and readmission rates. Welch's t-tests were used to test for significance for in-hospital lengths of stay. A p-value less than 0.003 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Study group patients had significantly longer in-hospital lengths of stay (2.7 days versus 2.3 days; p < 0.0001). Patients who have depressive disorders had higher incidences and odds of readmissions (9.4 versus 6.15%; odds-ratio: 1.6, p < 0.0001), medical complications (2.7 versus 0.9%; odds-ratio: 3.0, p < 0.0001), and implant-related complications (6.1 versus 2.4%; odds-ratio: 2.59, p < 0.0001) compared to controls. CONCLUSION Depressive disorder patients have longer in-hospital lengths of stay and increased odds of readmissions and complications following primary total shoulder arthroplasty.

Abstract
Operations on patients with hemophilia A and B are complex. Studies evaluating postoperative outcomes and costs following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients with hemophilia are limited. A retrospective review of the entire Medicare dataset from 2005 to 2014 was performed. International Classification of Disease 9th revision codes were used to identify patients with hemophilia A and B and they were matched to controls using a 1:1 random matching process based on age, gender, Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI), and select comorbidity burden. The 90-day preoperative period was evaluated for comorbidities and the 90-day postoperative period was analyzed for outcomes and reimbursements. Logistic regression models were generated to compare outcomes between cases and controls. A total of 4,034 patients with hemophilia were identified as having undergone TKA. About 44.8% were between the ages of 65 and 74 and 62.4% were female. Although the CCI was identical in both cohorts, individual comorbidities not controlled for varied significantly. Medical complications were more frequent among the patients with hemophilia: postoperative bleeding (odds ratio [OR]: 1.7; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.2-2.3), deep venous thrombosis (OR: 2.3; 95% CI: 1.8-2.8), pulmonary embolism (OR: 2.9; 95% CI: 2.1-3.9), and blood transfusions (OR: 1.8; 95% CI: 1.6-1.9). Hemophilia was associated with higher odds of periprosthetic infection (1.78 vs. 0.98%, OR: 1.8 95% CI: 1.2-2.7). The 90-day reimbursements were higher for patients with hemophilia (mean: $22,249 vs. $13,017, p < 0.001). Medicare beneficiaries with a diagnosis of hemophilia experience more frequent postoperative complications and incur greater 90-day costs than matched controls following TKA. Surgeons should consider this when optimizing patients for TKA and payors should consider this for risk-adjusting payment models.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2021; 30:258-264. [PMID: 32838952 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2020.05.004] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/27/2019] [Revised: 05/01/2020] [Accepted: 05/04/2020] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Bone grafting during primary reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is a technique used to restore poor glenoid bone, increase lateralization, and restore abnormal inclination or version. The purpose of this article is to analyze early outcomes of bone grafting during RSA, assessing the influence of technical and patient considerations. METHODS In a 4.5-year time period, 137 RSAs with glenoid bone grafting were performed with a minimum 3 months' follow-up. The mean follow-up was 17 months (range, 3-38). The mean age was 71 years (range, 45-89), and body mass index was 28 (range, 19-44). The source of the autografts were humeral head (n = 113) and iliac crest autograft (ICBG; n = 24). The humeral components included 84 onlay and 53 inlay designs. RESULTS Overall, there were 16 complications (12%), of which 6 were major (5%) (3 graft nonunions and 3 infections) and 10 minor (8%) (1 carpal tunnel syndrome and 9 transient axillary neuropraxias). Of the 9 axillary neuropraxias, 8 resolved by the most recent follow-up, whereas 1 patient was lost to follow-up. There were 4 reoperations (3%): 2 for glenoid baseplate loosening, 1 for severe notching associated with severe glenoid bone loss, and 1 for deep periprosthetic infection. One additional patient had a baseplate failure and is undergoing further treatment. There was no difference in the occurrence of graft nonunions, revision surgery, or glenoid component loosening when comparing type of graft or humeral component used. There was an association of revision surgery (P = .02) with ICBG and older age at the time of surgery (P = .02) and an association of transient neuroapraxia with onlay humeral components (P = .01) and workers' compensation cases (P = .04). CONCLUSIONS There is a high union rate and low complication rate after bone grafting of the glenoid performed with RSA. Transient neuropraxias are the most frequent complication, but the majority resolve within the first postoperative year. These early findings can serve as the basis for future long-term, comprehensive analysis of complications and outcomes after bone grafting during RSA.

The effect of operative time on early postoperative complications in total shoulder arthroplasty: An analysis of the ACS-NSQIP database. Shoulder Elbow 2021; 13:79-88. [PMID: 33717221 PMCID: PMC7905503 DOI: 10.1177/1758573219876573] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2019] [Revised: 06/30/2019] [Accepted: 08/21/2019] [Indexed: 11/15/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total shoulder arthroplasty has been demonstrated to be an effective treatment for arthritis of the glenohumeral joint. Prior studies have identified longer operative times as a risk factor for complications after numerous types of procedures. We hypothesized that increased operative time, in 20-min intervals, would be associated with complications following total shoulder arthroplasty. METHODS Patients undergoing total shoulder arthroplasty from 2006 to 2015 were identified from the ACS-NSQIP database. Patient demographic information, perioperative parameters, and 30-day outcomes were retrieved. Pearson's Chi-square test and multivariate Poisson regression with robust error variance were used to analyze the relationship of operative time and outcomes. RESULTS A total of 10,082 patients were included. Multivariate analysis revealed that for each increase in 20 min of operative time, there were significantly increased rates of any complication (relative risk (RR) 1.24, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.19-1.26), anemia requiring transfusion (RR 1.33, 95%CI 1.26-1.4), peripheral nerve injury (RR 1.88, 95%CI 1.53-2.31), and urinary tract infection (RR 1.24, 95%CI 1.09-1.41). DISCUSSION This study indicates that increasing operative time confers increased risk for postoperative complications following total shoulder arthroplasty. We anticipate the results of this manuscript will be used for provider education, policy decision-making, and potentially to derive algorithms that can improve safety and efficiency in total shoulder arthroplasty.

Abstract
PURPOSE We aimed to test the utility of screening for depressive symptoms in the hand surgical office focusing on chances of heightened depressive symptoms in patients with no history of diagnosed depression and by quantifying ongoing depressive symptoms among patients diagnosed with depression accounting for antidepressant use. The clinical importance of this study was predicated on the documented negative association between depressive symptoms and hand surgical outcomes. METHODS This cross-sectional study analyzed 351 patients presenting to a tertiary hand center between April 21, 2016, and November 22, 2017. Adult patients completed self-administered Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Depression computer adaptive tests at registration. Health records were examined for a past medical history of diagnosed depression and whether patients reported current use of prescription antidepressants. Mean PROMIS Depression scores were compared by analysis of variance (groups: no diagnosed depression, depression without medication, depression with medication). Four points represented a clinically relevant difference in PROMIS Depression scores between groups and Depression scores greater than 59.9 were categorized as having heightened depressive symptoms. RESULTS Sixty-two patients (18%) had been diagnosed with depression. Thirty-four of these patients (55%) reported taking antidepressant medications. The PROMIS Depression scores indicated greater current depressive symptoms among patients with a history of diagnosed depression when not taking antidepressants (11 points worse than unaffected) and also among patients taking antidepressants (7 points worse than unaffected). Heightened depressive symptoms were detected in all groups but were more prevalent among those diagnosed with depression (36% with no medication, 29% with antidepressant medication) compared with unaffected patients (7%). CONCLUSIONS Depression screening for heightened depressive symptoms identifies 1 in 14 patients without diagnosed depression and 1 in 3 patients diagnosed with depression as having currently heightened depressive symptoms. Hand surgeons can use PROMIS Depression screening in all patients and using this to guide referrals for depression treatment to ameliorate one confounder of hand surgical outcomes.

Inpatient Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair Is Associated With Higher Postoperative Complications Compared With Same-Day Discharge: A Matched Cohort Analysis. Arthroscopy 2021; 37:42-49. [PMID: 32721541 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2020.07.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/05/2020] [Revised: 07/14/2020] [Accepted: 07/16/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To compare 90-day postoperative complications between patients undergoing outpatient versus inpatient arthroscopic rotator cuff repairs (RCR) and identify risk factors associated with postoperative complications. METHODS An administrative claims database was used to identify patients undergoing arthroscopic RCR from 2007 to 2015. Patients were categorized based on length of hospital stay (LOS) with inpatient RCR defined as patients with ≥1 day LOS, and outpatient RCR as patients discharged day of surgery (LOS = 0). Inpatient and outpatient RCR groups were matched based on age, sex, Charlson comorbidity index (CCI), and various medical comorbidities using 1:1 propensity score analysis. Patient factors, concomitant procedures, total adverse events (TAEs), medical adverse events (MAEs), and surgical adverse events (SAEs) were compared between the matched groups. Multiple logistic regression analysis was performed to identify risk factors associated with increased complications. RESULTS After matching, there were 2812 patients (50% outpatient) included in the study. Within 90 days following arthroscopic RCR, the incidence of TAEs (8.9% vs 3.6%, P < .0001), SAEs (2.7% vs 0.9%, P = .0002), and MAEs (6.4% vs 3.0%, P < .0001) were significantly greater for the inpatient RCR group. The multivariate model identified inpatient RCR (LOS ≥1 day), greater CCI, and anxiety or depression as independent predictors for TAEs after arthroscopic RCR. Open biceps tenodesis and inpatient RCR were independent predictors of SAEs, whereas greater CCI, anxiety or depression, and inpatient RCR were independent predictors for MAEs within 90 days after arthroscopic RCR. CONCLUSIONS Inpatient arthroscopic RCR is associated with increased risk of 90-day postoperative complications compared with outpatient. However, there is no difference for all-cause or pain-related emergency department visits within 90 days after surgery. In addition, the multivariate model identified inpatient RCR, greater CCI, and diagnosis of anxiety or depression as independent risk factors for 90-day TAEs after arthroscopic RCR.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) continues to increase. Although researchers expect preoperative depression to influence outcomes following primary hip and knee arthroplasty, there is a paucity of data on this relationship after primary TSA. The purpose of this study was to define the relationship between a preoperative diagnosis of depression and postoperative outcomes following TSA. METHODS This was a level III retrospective cohort study. We identified patients undergoing TSA between 2009 and 2017 from the Truven MarketScan database and created 2 cohorts, patients with and without depression. We included patients who were continuously enrolled in the database for 1 year preoperatively and postoperatively. We collected demographic data, complication data, and health care utilization factors and then performed statistical analysis comparing complication and health care utilization between cohorts. This analysis controlled for baseline patient demographic, comorbid, and surgical factors. RESULTS We included 22,623 patients undergoing TSA in this study. Of these, 3209 (14%) had a preoperative diagnosis of depression. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that the following were more common in patients with depression: sepsis (odds ratio [OR], 2.04; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.14-3.65; P = .022), revision within 1 year (OR, 1.92; 95% CI, 1.45-2.55; P < .001), prosthetic joint infection within 1 year (OR, 1.41; 95% CI, 1.04-1.90; P = .025), return to the operating room for irrigation and débridement (OR, 2.72; 95% CI, 1.67-4.42; P < .001), prosthetic complication (OR, 1.54; 95% CI, 1.26-1.88; P < .001), and wound complication (OR, 1.84; 95% CI, 1.2-2.79; P = .004). Similarly, patients with depression had greater health care utilization including higher odds of non-home discharge (OR, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.3-1.57; P < .001), 90-day readmission (OR, 1.55; 95% CI, 1.3-1.86; P < .001), 90-day emergency department visit (OR, 1.39; 95% CI, 1.23-1.57; P < .001), and extended length of stay (≥3 days; OR, 1.23; 95% CI, 1.12-1.36; P < .001). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS Depression prior to TSA is common and is associated with increased risk of complications and increased health care utilization following TSA. Determining whether this is a modifiable risk factor requires further investigation.

Abstract
Psychiatric diagnoses (PD) present a significant burden on elective surgery patients and may have potentially dramatic impacts on outcomes. As ailments of the spine can be particularly debilitating, the effect of PD on outcomes was compared between elective spine surgery patients and other common elective orthopedic surgery procedures. This study included 412,777 elective orthopedic patients who were concurrently diagnosed with PD within the years 2005 to 2016. 30.2% of PD patients experienced a post-operative complication, compared to 25.1% for non-PD patients (p < 0.001). Mood Disorders (bipolar or depressive disorders) were the most commonly diagnosed PD for all elective Orthopedic procedures, followed by anxiety, then dementia (p < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis found PD to be a significant predictor of higher cost to charge ratio (CCR), length of stay (LOS), and death (all p < 0.001). Between, hand, elbow, and shoulder specialties, spine patients had the highest odds of increased CCR and unfavorable discharge, and the second highest odds of death (all p < 0.001).

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The ability to predict successful outcomes is important for patient satisfaction and optimal results after shoulder arthroplasty. We hypothesize that a medical-social scoring tool will predict resource requirements in doing total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). METHODS A retrospective analysis of 453 patients undergoing TSA was undertaken. Preoperatively, medical and social surveys were completed by each patient. Demographics, comorbidity scores, hospital course, postdischarge disposition, and readmissions were collected. RESULTS The average length of stay was 1.6 days (0 to 7). There was an association with utilization of home care or inpatient rehabilitation and both the medical (7.3 versus 3.9; P = 0.0002) and social (7.1 versus 3.4; P < 0.0001) components of the survey. There was a weak correlation between hospital length of stay and the social component of the survey (R = 0.29; P < 0.001), but not the medical component (R = 0.04; P = 0.38). No variable was predictive of readmission. Social score of eight was found to be predictive of postoperative requirement of home care or rehabilitation. CONCLUSION This study found that Medical and Social Survey Scores can stratify patients who are at risk of requiring more advanced postdischarge care and/or a longer hospital stay. With this, we can match patients to the most appropriate level of postoperative care.

Abstract
Many studies have reported the relevance of depression on clinical outcomes after knee or hip arthroplasty. However, no study has investigated this relationship in total ankle arthroplasty (TAA). This study aimed to study the relationship between depressive symptoms and clinical outcomes after TAA. This retrospective comparative study investigated 40 patients who underwent TAA for end-stage ankle arthritis. Depressive symptoms were evaluated using the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale and Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Preoperative and postoperative clinical outcomes were compared using the visual analog scale (VAS) and American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot scores by classifying the subjects into depressive and nondepressive groups. The mean follow-up duration was 24.3 ± 7.3 (range 14 to 37) months. There were 13 and 27 subjects in the depressive and nondepressive groups, respectively. There were no significant differences in the baseline characteristics and preoperative VAS and AOFAS scores between them. The postoperative VAS score was significantly higher in the depressive group (3.1 ± 2.4) than in the nondepressive group (1.4 ± 2.3; p < .001). The postoperative AOFAS scores in the depressive and nondepressive groups were 89.3 ± 13.4 and 95.0 ± 8.1, respectively, showing a significantly superior result in the latter group (p < .001). The clinical outcomes after TAA were poorer in the patients with depressive symptoms than in those without. Depressive symptoms are patient-specific factors or independent predictors that show less improvement after TAA. Therefore, clinical considerations of these symptoms are essential before TAA.

Abstract
Background: Hammertoe deformities can seriously affect activity level and footwear. The use of prescription, mood-altering medications is very common, with some estimates as high as 25% of the population. Mood disorders, especially depression, negatively affect the results of medical and operative treatments. This study assessed the relationship of mood-altering medication use with the outcomes and complications of operative reconstruction of hammertoes. Methods: Data were prospectively collected from 116 patients who underwent hammertoe reconstruction, including demographic information, medical history, the use of mood-altering psychotropic medications (antidepressants, anxiolytics, hypnotics, and mood stabilizers), and postoperative complications. Preoperative patient-reported outcomes were measured using the visual analog scale (VAS) for pain and Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), which were repeated at 1-year follow-up. Results: A total of 36.2% of patients were taking psychotropic medications. Medication and nonmedication groups had similar pain VAS and SF-36 Physical Component Summary (PCS) scores before and after surgery. Compared with nonmedication patients, patients on psychotropic medications had significantly lower SF-36 Mental Component Summary (MCS) scores preoperatively (P = .001) and postoperatively (P = .006), but no significant difference in the change in MCS (ΔMCS) from preoperative to postoperative. Psychotropic medication use was associated with superficial wound infections (P = .048), but not other complications. Conclusions: Patients taking psychotropic medications were equally likely to benefit from forefoot reconstruction as nonmedication patients. Preoperative and postoperative PCS and VAS were not significantly different between medication and nonmedication groups. Although the medication group had lower absolute MCS, they reported the same magnitude of improvement in MCS (ΔMCS) as the nonmedication group. Level of Evidence: Level II, prospective cohort study.

Psychosocial factors affecting outcomes after shoulder arthroplasty: a systematic review. J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2020; 29:e175-e184. [PMID: 31899094 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2019.09.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 31] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/22/2019] [Revised: 09/24/2019] [Accepted: 09/30/2019] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Both anatomic and reverse total shoulder arthroplasty are considered successful surgeries to treat a variety of painful shoulder conditions. Although implant survivorship for both is good to excellent in the long term, a variety of factors-clinical, technical, and psychosocial-may affect patient-reported outcomes after shoulder arthroplasty. METHODS A comprehensive review of the literature was performed systematically using keywords "shoulder arthroplasty outcomes," "psychosocial factors shoulder," "shoulder replacement outcomes," "depression shoulder arthroplasty," "satisfaction shoulder arthroplasty," "factors shoulder replacement," "expectations shoulder arthroplasty," and "predictors shoulder arthroplasty." Studies meeting the inclusion criteria were screened and analyzed. Type of surgery performed, sample size, outcome measures, and other factors influencing patient outcomes were recorded and analyzed. RESULTS Sixteen studies met the inclusion criteria. Six reviewed mental health disorders as predictors of postoperative outcome after shoulder arthroplasty. Of these, 4 found that disorders such a depression and anxiety were associated with increased risk of perioperative complications and lower final functional outcome scores. Two studies evaluated workers' compensation status as a possible predictor of outcomes and found that patients with claims had lower satisfaction and outcome scores at final follow-up compared with those without claims. Two studies showed that preoperative opioid use was associated with lower outcome scores and overall satisfaction rate after shoulder arthroplasty. Three studies showed that higher patient confidence and preoperative expectations were correlated with better outcomes. CONCLUSION Our review shows that psychosocial factors may play just as important role in affecting patient outcomes after total shoulder arthroplasty as technical factors.
