Cao P, Jia ZY, Zheng T, Mei T. Correlation of preoperative inflammatory factors and emotional disorders with postoperative delirium in patients with craniocerebral trauma. World J Psychiatry 2024; 14:1043-1052. [PMID: 39050199 PMCID: PMC11262927 DOI: 10.5498/wjp.v14.i7.1043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/10/2024] [Revised: 05/14/2024] [Accepted: 06/17/2024] [Indexed: 07/12/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Traumatic brain injury (TBI) imposes a substantial societal and familial burden due to its high disability and fatality rates, rendering it a serious public health problem. Some patients with TBI have poor treatment outcomes and are prone to postoperative delirium (POD), which affects their quality of life. Anxiety has been linked to increased POD incidence in some studies, while others have found no correlation. AIM To investigate the correlation of POD risk factors, preoperative inflammatory factors, and mood disorders in patients with TBI. METHODS We retrospectively collected data on the treatment of 80 patients with TBI from November 2021 to September 2023. Patients were grouped as POD and non-POD, according to their POD status, and the general data of the two groups were compared. Inflammatory factor levels were detected preoperatively, and the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD) and Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) were used to investigate the risk factors associated with POD in these patients. Logistic regression was used to identify the independent risk factors. RESULTS Twenty-one patients (26.25%) developed POD, including 7, 10, and 4 cases of the excitatory, inhibitory, and mixed types, respectively. There were 59 cases (73.75%) in the non-POD group. Compared with the non-POD group, the POD group had a significantly higher proportion of patients with low Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores before admission, unilateral mydriasis, preoperative hemorrhagic shock, intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), and postoperative hyperglycemic hyperosmolar disease (P < 0.05). In the POD group, interleukin-6 (IL-6), human tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), myeloperoxidase levels, HAMA, and HAMD scores were higher than those in the non-POD group (all P < 0.05). Logistic multivariate analysis showed that GCS score at admission, IVH, IL-6, TNF-α, HAMA, and HAMD were independent risk factors for POD in patients with TBI (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION Low GCS score at admission, IVH, elevated IL-6 and TNF-α, other inflammatory indicators, anxiety, and depression, can increase the risk of POD in patients with TBI after surgery.

Abstract
Artificial intelligence (AI) has increased in popularity in neurosurgery, with recent interest in generative AI algorithms such as the Large Language Model (LLM) ChatGPT. Sora, an innovation in generative AI, leverages natural language processing, deep learning, and computer vision to generate impressive videos from text prompts. This new tool has many potential applications in neurosurgery. These include patient education, public health, surgical training and planning, and research dissemination. However, there are considerable limitations to the current model such as physically implausible motion generation, spontaneous generation of subjects, unnatural object morphing, inaccurate physical interactions, and abnormal behavior presentation when many subjects are generated. Other typical concerns are with respect to patient privacy, bias, and ethics. Further, appropriate investigation is required to determine how effective generative videos are compared to their non-generated counterparts, irrespective of any limitations. Despite these challenges, Sora and other iterations of its text-to-video generative application may have many benefits to the neurosurgical community.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients receiving a brain cancer diagnosis may face cognitive decline and a poor prognosis. In addition, they suffer from a high symptom burden in a complex cancer pathway. The aim of this study was to investigate the early hospital experiences of brain tumour patients during the diagnostic and surgical treatment phase. METHODS A descriptive longitudinal single-case study design was used, and data were analysed via systematic text condensation. RESULTS The patients' experiences of being diagnosed with and treated for brain cancer were interpreted in terms of the central theme: a fast transition into an unknown journey. This theme consisted of the following subthemes: emotionally overwhelmed, putting life on hold and an unfamiliar dependency. CONCLUSIONS Patients diagnosed with brain cancer struggle with overwhelming emotions due to this sudden life-threatening diagnosis, their fear of brain surgery and their progressing dependence. Patients did not voice their feelings, fears or needs, so these may easily be overlooked and unmet. A proactive and continuous care approach throughout the diagnostic phase is needed to support these patients.

Abstract
There is growing interest in awake craniotomies, but some clinicians are concerned that such procedures are poorly tolerated by patients. Therefore, we conducted a study to assess this phenomenon. In this prospective qualitative study, 68 patients who qualified for awake craniotomy were asked to complete the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)-two days before the surgery and visual analogue scales (VAS) for pain and stress, two days before the surgery and again about two days after. In addition, after their surgery, they took part in a structured interview about what helped them prepare for and cope with the surgery. Most patients tolerated the awake surgery well, scoring low on stress and pain scales. They reported a lower level of stress during the surgery (when questioned afterwards) than before it. Intensity of stress before the surgery correlated negatively with age, positively with HADS anxiety score and positively with stress subsequently experienced during surgery. The level of stress during surgery was associated with stress experienced before the surgery, pain and HADS anxiety and depression scores. Severity of pain during the surgery was positively correlated with stress during surgery and HADS depression and anxiety scores before the surgery. There was no correlation between stress, pain, anxiety and depression and the location of the lesion. Patients have a high tolerance for awake craniotomy. Various factors have an impact on how well patients cope with the operation. Extensive preoperative preparation should be considered a key part of the procedure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Virtual reality (VR) is a promising non-pharmacologic tool for managing health care anxiety. We assessed the feasibility and acceptability of a pre-operative VR intervention by adult patients and medical staff and measured anxiety in adult patients pre- and post-VR intervention. STUDY DESIGN We recruited 30 patients scheduled to undergo oral surgery and 8 medical staff as participants. The patients completed a verbal demographic survey and rated their anxiety before the VR intervention and at 1 minute and 2 minutes post-intervention. We administered the Acceptability of Intervention Measure to the patients to measure their perceptions of the VR intervention and the Feasibility of Intervention Measure to the medical staff to assess their perception of VR implementation. We performed an analysis of variance to compare pre-operative anxiety over time and assess demographic differences. RESULTS The patients showed high and consistent acceptability of the pre-operative use of VR among patients, but acceptability varied among medical staff. The patients experienced a statistically significant reduction of pre-operative anxiety (P = .003). CONCLUSION A brief VR pre-intervention is highly accepted by and very beneficial for patients undergoing oral surgery, positively affecting anxiety reduction. The perception of VR by health care providers needs to be explored to increase acceptability.

Abstract
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Resilience is the ability of patients to adapt effectively when given a diagnosis of an illness. While awaiting brain tumor surgery, patients often experience uncertainty from brain tumor-related symptoms resulting in inducing depressive symptoms, having physical disability, and reducing quality of life. Resilience studies have been widely conducted in the postoperative phase with a limited knowledge on the preoperative phase. This study aimed to identify predictors of resilience while awaiting brain tumor surgery. METHODS: This cross-sectional predictive study includes 100 participants 18 years and older, with diagnosis of brain tumors, and waiting for brain tumor surgery at the outpatient department of 1 tertiary hospital in Bangkok between August 2022 and February 2023. Multiple linear regression was used to examine the predictors of resilience. RESULTS: Most of the sample (77%) were female with a mean age of 52.71 (13.17) years. The most common type of brain tumor was meningioma (38%). The median waiting time since brain tumor diagnosis until the date of preadmission for operation was 18 (3-1464) days. Symptom severity, social support, and treatment plan were able to explain 37.3% of the variance of resilience in patients awaiting brain tumor surgery ( F = 19.077, P < .01, R2 = 0.373, adjusted R2 = 0.354). CONCLUSION: Resilience is an important skill for patients with brain tumor to manage uncertainty events that occur in their lives. The preoperation phase needs to assess both physical and mental tumor-related symptoms, and include caregivers as part of the care, to promote resilience skill for patients awaiting brain tumor surgery.

Abstract
TACE has become one of the main methods for the treatment of liver cancer. The study aimed to investigate the effects of preoperative interview and prospective nursing in patients with hepatic carcinoma undergoing transcatheter chemoembolization (TACE). Eighty-six patients with hepatocellular carcinoma who underwent TACE intervention treatment at our hospital between 2020 and 2023 were selected and randomly assigned to 2 groups using computerized randomization. The control group (n = 43) received routine nursing care, while the study group (n = 43) received preoperative interviews in combination with prospective nursing during the procedure. The patients' heart rate, mean arterial pressure, and blood pressure variations were recorded, along with their mood changes after intervention. The postoperative pain and satisfaction levels were compared between the 2 groups of patients, and the incidence of postoperative complications was observed. The heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure of the 2 groups of patients were compared 1 day before the operation (P > .05). Compared to 1 day before the operation, there was no significant change for the study group at 10 minutes after entering the room. However, the control group showed an increase. Both groups showed an increase in heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and diastolic blood pressure after the operation, with the study group having lower values than the control group (P < .05). The levels of tension, fatigue, anxiety, energy, anger, depression, self-esteem, and POMS index were compared between the 2 groups before intervention (P > .05). After intervention, there were significant differences between the 2 groups(P < .05). Immediately after the operation, the NRS scores of the 2 groups of patients were compared (P > .05). Compared to the control group, the study group showed a decrease in NRS scores at 12, 24, and 48 hours after the operation (P < .05). The nursing satisfaction rate of the study group patients was 97.67% (42/43), which was higher than the nursing satisfaction rate of the control group of 76.74% (33/43) (P < .05). Compared to routine nursing, preoperative visits and prospective nursing interventions can effectively alleviate patients' psychological stress reactions, relieve pain, reduce the incidence of complications, and improve patients' satisfaction with nursing care.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative anxiety is common among patients, particularly in neurosurgical patients. The aim of the study was to evaluate the incidence and predictive factors of preoperative anxiety using the state anxiety scale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI-S) among patients undergoing elective craniotomy for a supratentorial neoplasm. This study also determined the optimal Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS) score for the identification of preoperative anxiety in this cohort. METHODS Sixty patients aged 18 to 65 years with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status score I/II scheduled for elective craniotomy for a supratentorial neoplasm were recruited into this prospective, observational study. Preoperative anxiety was assessed using STAI-S and APAIS questionnaires. Using STAI-S ≥37 to define preoperative anxiety, the optimal APAIS to identify preoperative anxiety was determined using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. Logistic regression was performed to identify independent predictive factors for preoperative anxiety. RESULTS Sixty percent of patients had preoperative anxiety (STAI-S ≥37). An APAIS score of 10 identified preoperative anxiety with a sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value of 97%, 96%, and 97%, respectively. Right-sided tumor location ( P =0.047) and need-for-information on surgery ( P =0.007) were independent predictors of preoperative anxiety. CONCLUSIONS Patients with supratentorial neoplasms have a high incidence of preoperative anxiety; an APAIS score of 10 is the optimal cutoff to identify anxious patients in the preoperative period. Need-for-information about surgery and right-sided tumor laterality are independent predictors of preoperative anxiety.

Abstract
PURPOSE Further studies are needed in line with the Enhanced Recovery for Cardiac Surgery (ERCS) protocols with a view to reducing anxiety and opioid use in cardiac surgery patients. The present study investigates the effects of preoperative visits by operating room nurses to patients scheduled for cardiac surgery on postoperative anxiety, pain severity and frequency, and the type and dose of analgesic medication. DESIGN This is a quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design involving nonrandomized groups. METHODS The study was conducted in the Department of Cardiovascular Surgery of a Foundation University Hospital in Turkey between August 20, 2020 and April 15, 2021. Included in the study were patients selected based on a nonprobability sampling approach who met the study inclusion criteria (aged 18-75 years, no psychiatric diagnosis or drug use, first cardiovascular surgery experience, scheduled for elective surgery, up to five coronary anastomoses, literate and able to speak and understand Turkish, undergoing cardiovascular surgery with Cardiopulmonary Bypass (CPB)) determined by the researcher. The treatment group was visited preoperatively by operating room nurses, and followed-up for the first 72 hours after surgery. FINDINGS The intervention was effective in reducing postoperative state anxiety levels (P < .05). In the control group, each one-point increase in the preoperative state-anxiety level caused a 9% increase in the length of stay in the intensive care unit (P < .05). Pain severity increased as the preoperative state-anxiety and trait-anxiety levels, and the postoperative state-anxiety levels, increased (P < .05). While there was no significant difference in pain severity, the intervention proved to be effective in reducing pain frequency (P < .05). It was further noted that the intervention reduced the use of opioid and nonopioid analgesics for the first 12 hours (P < .05). The probability of using opioid analgesics increased 1.56 times (P < .05) with each one-point increase in pain severity reported by the patients. CONCLUSIONS The participation of operating room nurses in preoperative patient care can contribute to the management of anxiety and pain and the reduction of opioids. It is recommended that such an approach be implemented as an independent nursing intervention given the potential contribution to ERCS protocols.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Little is known about mental health following advanced cardiac procedures in the oldest patients. AIMS To study changes in anxiety and depression from baseline to one- and six-month follow-up in older patients following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) or surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). METHODS Prospective cohort study of patients ≥ 80 years undergoing elective TAVI or SAVR in a tertiary university hospital. Anxiety and depression were assessed with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Differences between TAVI/SAVR were analyzed using Welch's t test or chi-squared. Changes over time and group differences were established with longitudinal models using generalized least squares. RESULTS In 143 patients (83.5 ± 2.7 years), 46% (n = 65) received TAVI. Anxiety was identified in 11% of TAVI patients at baseline. One- and six-months later, percentages were 8% and 9%. In SAVR patients, 18% had baseline scores indicating anxiety. One and six-months later, percentages were 11% and 9%. Depression was identified in 15% of TAVI patients. One- and six-months later, percentages were 11% and 17%. At baseline, 11% of SAVR patients had scores indicating depression. One- and six-months after SAVR, percentages were 15% and 12%. Longitudinal analyses showed reductions (P < 0.001) in anxiety from baseline to one-month, and stable scores between one- and six-months for both treatment groups. There was no change over time for depression among treatment groups (P = 0.21). DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS SAVR or TAVI in patients ≥ 80 years was associated with anxiety reduction between baseline and follow-up. For depression, there was no evidence of change over time in either treatment group.

However, limited data exists on the cognition, emotional states, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with glioma who undergo awake craniotomy. This study aims to describe 1) perioperative cognitive function and emotional states in a multilingual Asian population, 2) associations between perioperative cognitive function and follow-up HRQoL, and 3) associations between preoperative emotional states and follow-up HRQoL. METHODS This is a case series of 14 adult glioma patients who underwent awake craniotomy in Singapore. Cognition was assessed with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment and the Repeatable Battery for the Assessment of Neuropsychological Status, emotional states with the Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale-21 Items, and HRQoL using the EuroQol-5D-5L, the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-C30, and the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) QLQ-BN20. RESULTS Patients with better preoperative cognitive scores on all domains reported better HRQoL. Better postoperative immediate memory and language scores were associated with better HRQoL. Moderate preoperative depression scores and mild and moderate preoperative stress scores were associated with poorer HRQoL compared to scores within the normal range. Mild preoperative anxiety scores were associated with better HRQoL compared to scores within the normal range. CONCLUSION This descriptive case series showed that patients with higher preoperative cognitive scores reported better follow-up HRQoL, while patients who reported more preoperative depressive and stress symptomatology reported worse follow-up HRQoL. Future analytical studies may help to draw conclusions about whether perioperative cognition and emotional states predict HRQoL on follow-up.

Wu M, Dai S, Wang R, Yang S. The relationship between uncertainty and acute procedure anxiety among surgical patients in Chinese mainland: the mediating role of resilience. BMC Psychiatry 2023; 23:796. [PMID: 37915033 PMCID: PMC10619271 DOI: 10.1186/s12888-023-05315-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/11/2023] [Accepted: 10/27/2023] [Indexed: 11/03/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Surgery, as one of the main diagnostic and treatment methods, is a routine work in medical settings. Patients undergoing surgery often experience acute procedure anxiety due to uncertainty. There is ample evidence showing that uncertainty is a risk factor for the acute procedure anxiety in surgical patients. However, little is known about the psychological processes mediating this relationship. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate resilience as a mediator of the association between uncertainty and anxiety. METHODS A population-based cross-sectional survey with a convenience sampling method was conducted, involving 243 surgical patients in Jiaxing, Zhejiang province of China was carried out. Relevant data were collected by self-reporting questionnaires, including demographic characteristics questionnaire, Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS-C), Mishel's Illness Uncertainty Scale (MUIS), Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). Pearson correlation analysis was employed to examine correlations between various variables. A path model was used to assess the mediation effect of resilience with respect to uncertainty and acute procedure anxiety. RESULTS In the path model, uncertainty have an indirect effect on acute procedure anxiety through resilience. The results suggest that resilience has a mediating role in uncertainty and acute procedure anxiety among surgical patients. CONCLUSIONS These findings call for the development of interventions targeting the role of resilience in effectively predicting and preventing acute procedure anxiety and uncertainty among surgical patients.

JAMA Netw Open 2023; 6:e2340588. [PMID: 37906193 PMCID: PMC10618840 DOI: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2023.40588] [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: 06/15/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 11/02/2023] Open
Abstract
IMPORTANCE Preoperative anxiety is common among adult patients undergoing elective surgery and is associated with negative outcomes. Virtual reality (VR)-based interventions have been considered simpler, safer, and more effective for reducing anxiety in patients undergoing surgery than conventional care. OBJECTIVE To examine the effectiveness of a VR-based intervention with preoperative education in reducing preoperative anxiety among adult patients undergoing elective surgery. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS An assessor-blinded prospective randomized clinical trial was conducted to recruit adult patients aged 18 years or older who were scheduled for their first elective surgery procedure under general anesthesia within the next 2 to 4 weeks at a preanesthesia assessment clinic in Hong Kong from July to December 2022. INTERVENTIONS Participants were randomly assigned to either an intervention group (an 8-minute immersive 360° VR video tour in the operating theater via a head-mounted display console) or a control group (standard care). MAIN OUTCOMES AND MEASURES The primary outcome of preoperative anxiety was measured using the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (range, 6-30; higher scores indicate greater anxiety), and the secondary outcomes (ie, stress, preparedness, and pain) were assessed by Visual Analog Scale at 3 time points: baseline at beginning of clinical session (T0), at the end of the clinical session immediately after the intervention (T1), and before the surgery (T2). Pain, satisfaction levels, and postoperative length of stay were evaluated after the surgery (T3). Simulation sickness was assessed after the intervention by use of the Simulation Sickness Questionnaire. A generalized estimating equations model was applied to compare changes in outcomes over time. RESULTS A total of 74 participants (mean [SD] age, 46.34 [14.52] years; 38 men [51.4%] and 36 women [48.6%]) were recruited and randomized to the control group (37 participants) and intervention group (37 participants). Compared with the control group, the VR-based intervention group showed significantly decreased preoperative anxiety at T1 (β, -5.46; 95% CI, -7.60 to -3.32; P < .001) and T2 (β, -5.57; 95% CI, -7.73 to -3.41; P < .001), lower stress at T1 (β, -10.68; 95% CI, -16.00 to -5.36; P < .001) and T2 (β, -5.16; 95% CI, -9.87 to -0.45; P = .03), and higher preparedness at T1 (β, 6.60; 95% CI, 0.97 to 12.19; P = .02). Satisfaction levels were significantly increased in the intervention group vs the control group (mean [SD] score, 81.35 [9.24] vs 65.28 [8.16]; difference, 16.07; 95% CI, 12.00 to 20.15; P < .001). No significant differences in pain and postoperative length of stay were found. CONCLUSIONS AND RELEVANCE The findings of this study suggest that a VR-based intervention is a feasible and effective way to reduce preoperative anxiety in adult patients undergoing elective surgery. Given the promising results of this study, further study in the form of large-scale, multicenter, randomized clinical trials with broader implementation is warranted.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to investigate preoperative anxiety in patients with lung cancer scheduled for video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) and explore the influence of demographic factors, information needs, illness perception, and patient trust in preoperative anxiety. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary referral center in China from August 14 to December 1, 2022. Patients with lung cancer (N = 308) scheduled for VATS were evaluated using the Amsterdam Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS), Brief Illness Perception Questionnaire (BIPQ), and Wake Forest Physician Trust Scale (WFPTS). Multivariate linear regression was employed to determine the independent predictors of preoperative anxiety. RESULTS The average total APAIS anxiety score was (10.6 ± 4.2). Of the sample, 48.4% reported high preoperative anxiety (APAIS-A: ≥10). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that preoperative anxiety was higher in women (B = 0.860); and that preoperative length of stay ≥24 h (B = 0.016), more information needs (B = 0.988), more severe illness perceptions (B = 0.101) and more patient trust (B = -0.078) may lead to higher preoperative anxiety levels. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative anxiety is common in patients with lung cancer scheduled for VATS. Therefore, more attention should be paid to women and patients with a preoperative length of stay of ≥24 h. Meeting information needs, transforming positive disease perceptions, and strengthening the doctor-patient trusting relationship are key protective factors for preoperative anxiety.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative anxiety is a health concern among patients scheduled for surgical interventions. Little is known about the prevalence of preoperative anxiety among patients in different healthcare systems of developing countries. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of preoperative anxiety among patients undergoing surgery in Palestine. Another objective was to identify the factors associated with preoperative anxiety. METHODS This study was conducted in a cross-sectional descriptive design. Patients scheduled for surgical interventions were interviewed using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. The questionnaire collected the demographic, clinical, and surgical variables of the patients. The questionnaire also contained the Amsterdam preoperative anxiety and information scale (APAIS), and a short version of the Spielberger state-trait anxiety inventory (STAIS-5/STAIT-5). RESULT A total of 280 patients were included. The mean APAIS total score was 13.6 ± 5.9, the mean APAIS anxiety domain score was 8.3 ± 4.3, and the mean APAIS need for information domain was 1.6 ± 0.50. Of the patients, 76 (27.1%) had high anxiety and 160 (57.1%) expressed a high need for information. The higher APAIS anxiety scores were predicted by being female, having chronic diseases, being scheduled to be operated on within 24 h, and having experienced surgical complications. The mean STAIS-5 score was 10.0 ± 4.2 and the mean STAIT-5 was 10.3 ± 3.8. Of the patients, 140 (50.0%) had high state anxiety and 56 (20.0%) had high trait anxiety. Higher STAIS-5 scores were predicted by being female, younger than 42 years, and scheduled to be operated on within 24 h. Higher STAIT-5 scores were predicted by being female. A positive correlation was identified between APAIS total, APAIS anxiety, APAIS need for information, STAIS-5, and STAIT-5 scores. CONCLUSION Preoperative anxiety was prevalent among patients scheduled for surgical operations in Palestinian hospitals. Anesthesiologists and other providers of perioperative care should screen preoperative patients who are female, have chronic diseases, are scheduled to be operated on within 24 h, and having had experienced surgical complications for preoperative anxiety. More studies are still needed to investigate the effects of the implemented measures on the prevalence of preoperative anxiety.

Abstract
Background In patients undergoing surgical procedures, preoperative period is one of the most worrying periods. There are only few studies which revealed that increased preoperative anxiety is associated with increased requirements of doses of anesthetic agents. Aim The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of preoperative anxiety in patients posted for surgical procedures and its relation to the doses of anesthetic drugs. Materials and Methods This is a cross-sectional, analytical study done between January 2021 and April 2021. A total of 100 patients undergoing surgery have given consent to participate in the study by filling self-designed questionnaire, Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS). Data analysis was done by SPSS version 24 using appropriate statistical tests. Results Preoperative anxiety was noted in 21% of the patients who were undergoing surgery. The association between preoperative anxiety and need for increase in the doses of anesthetic agents during intraoperative period was found to be statistically significant (P < 0.004). Conclusion A significant number of patients required increased amounts of anesthetic drugs to reduce anxiety during intraoperative period. Therefore, appropriate methods have to be introduced to address the concerns of patients undergoing surgery and thereby reducing anxiety.

Abstract
Pre-operative anxiety may adversely affect post-operative recovery and treatment satisfaction. This systematic review assessed the impact of social support on pre-operative anxiety in elective surgery patients. MEDLINE via Ovid, Embase, PsycINFO, Web of Science, CINAHL Plus, Emcare and LILACS were searched for publications (1950-2021). Fourteen studies were included for descriptive analysis and five for meta-analysis. The pooled estimate in the meta-analysis was r = -0.372 (95% CI: -0.578 to -0.122). Stronger social support was weakly associated with reduced pre-operative anxiety, but the quality of available evidence was low. The findings suggest potential benefit in enhancing utilisation of support networks before elective surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Awake craniotomy (AC) enables real-time monitoring of cortical and subcortical functions when lesions are in eloquent brain areas. AC patients are exposed to various preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative stressors, which might affect their mental health. OBJECTIVE To conduct a systematic review to better understand stress, anxiety, and depression in AC patients. METHODS PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched from January 1, 2000, to April 20, 2022, in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guideline. RESULTS Four hundred forty-seven records were identified that fit our inclusion and exclusion criteria for screening. Overall, 24 articles consisting of 1450 patients from 13 countries were included. Sixteen studies (66.7%) were prospective, whereas 8 articles (33.3%) were retrospective. Studies evaluated stress, anxiety, and depression during different phases of AC. Twenty-two studies (91.7%) were conducted on adults, and 2 studies were on pediatrics (8.3 %). Glioma was the most common AC treatment with 615 patients (42.4%). Awake-awake-awake and asleep-awake-asleep were the most common protocols, each used in 4 studies, respectively (16.7%). Anxiety was the most common psychological outcome evaluated in 19 studies (79.2%). The visual analog scale and self-developed questionnaire by the authors (each n = 5, 20.8%) were the most frequently tools used. Twenty-three studies (95.8%) concluded that AC does not increase stress, anxiety, and/or depression in AC patients. One study (4.2%) identified younger age associated with panic attack. CONCLUSION In experienced hands, AC does not cause an increase in stress, anxiety, and depression; however, the psychiatric impact of AC should not be underestimated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Hyper- and hyposensitivity in multiple modalities have been well-documented in subjects with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) but not in subjects with acquired brain injury (ABI). The purpose of this study was to determine whether subjects with ABI experience altered sensory processing in multiple sensory modalities, and to examine the relationships between impaired sensory processing and the emotional state. METHODS AND PROCEDURES Sixty-eight patients with brain or spinal cord tumors participated in the study. Cognitive ability and emotional function were tested, and subjective changes were evaluated in two directions (hyper- and hyposensitivity) and five modalities (visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, and gustatory) at two time points (after disease onset and after surgery). RESULTS One-fifth of the participants complained of hypersensitivity in the visual domain, and a similar proportion complained of hyposensitivity in the auditory and tactile domains. Additionally, one-third of participants complained of two or more sensory abnormalities after disease onset. A hierarchical regression analysis indicated that auditory and tactile sensory changes predicted a depressive state. CONCLUSION In conclusion, multimodal sensory changes occurred in patients with brain tumors, manifesting as hyper- or hyposensitivity. Sensory changes might be related to depressive state, but the results were inconclusive.

Abstract
Background: Patients undergoing elective cardiac surgery often experience pre-operative anxiety. Preoperative anxiety influences surgical outcome. There are very few studies which have assessed the impact of clonidine and Gabapentin in the treatment of anxiety especially in Indian populations and its implications on major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and 30 days mortality. Materials and Methods: Adult patients aged 18 to 80 years old who were scheduled to have an elective coronary artery by-pass graft (CABG) were included in the study. Those who satisfied the inclusion criteria were given either Gabapentin (800 mg) or Clonidine (300 mcg) 90-120 minutes before the induction. State trait anxiety inventory (STAI) was used to assess anxiety in baseline and taking just before operating room. The primary endpoint was a reduction in the STAI associated with the study drug, while the secondary endpoint was the incidence of MACE in the perioperative period (30 days), which included composite episodes of non-fatal cardiac arrest, chaotic rhythm, acute myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure, cardiac arrhythmia, angina, and death. Results: A total of 75 patients were considered for the statistical analysis. The demographic and clinical features of the study participants were similar in both groups. Nearly 75-80% of participants had severe anxiety in the preoperative period while 10-20% had moderate anxiety. While both the drugs showed a reduction in the anxiety levels, the clonidine group fared better (statistically insignificant). The incidence of MACE was similar in both groups. Conclusion: The preoperative anxiety levels were high among cardiac surgery patients. Both clonidine and gabapentin were equally effective in reducing the levels of preoperative anxiety.

Abstract
A growing body of evidence supports the use of perioperative acupuncture as part of an enhanced postsurgical recovery protocol. Data from both clinical trials and animal studies has shown that the integration of acupuncture into perioperative patient care leads to a reduction of perioperative complications such as preoperative anxiety, intraoperative hemodynamic instability, postoperative pain, postoperative cognitive dysfunction, and postoperative nausea and vomiting in surgical patients. Despite these favorable outcomes, perioperative acupuncture has yet to be widely adopted in current anesthesia practice. This review summarized data from clinical perioperative acupuncture studies and cites recent discoveries regarding the anatomical location and characteristics of acupoint(s), acupuncture stimulation techniques, and treatment practice protocols, as well as identified the areas of deficiency in perioperative acupuncture applications. To facilitate acupuncture integration in perioperative care practice, the authors propose to establish a perioperative acupuncture registry which can be used for data mining as well as a resource for studying the underlying mechanisms of acupuncture. Through this acupuncture registry, clinical guidelines and research protocols can be established, additional large/multi-center clinical and pragmatic trials can be easily performed to determine if the integration and expansion of perioperative acupuncture practice is cost-effective.

Preoperative Anxiety is Associated With Postoperative Complications in Vascular Surgery: A Cross-Sectional Study. World J Surg 2022; 46:1987-1996.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative anxiety is associated with increased morbidity and/or mortality in surgical patients. This study investigated the incidence, predictors, and association of preoperative anxiety with postoperative complications in vascular surgery. METHODS Consecutive patients undergoing aortic, carotid, and peripheral artery surgery, under general and regional anesthesia, from February until October 2019 were included in a cross-sectional study. Anesthesiologists assessed preoperative anxiety using a validated Serbian version of the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale. Patients were divided into groups with low/high anxiety, both anesthesia- and surgery-related. Statistical analysis included multivariate linear logistic regression and point-biserial correlation. RESULTS Of 402 patients interviewed, 16 were excluded and one patient refused to participate (response rate 99.7%). Out of 385 patients included (age range 39-86 years), 62.3% had previous surgery. High-level anesthesia- and surgery-related anxieties were present in 31.2 and 43.4% of patients, respectively. Independent predictors of high-level anesthesia-related anxiety were having no children (OR = 0.443, 95% CI: 0.239-0.821, p = 0.01), personal bad experiences with anesthesia (OR = 2.294, 95% CI: 1.043-5.045, p = 0.039), and time since diagnosis for ≥ 4 months (OR = 1.634, 95% CI: 1.023-5.983, p = 0.04). The female sex independently predicted high-level surgery-related preoperative anxiety (OR = 2.387, 95% CI: 1.432-3.979, p = 0.001). High-level anesthesia-related anxiety correlated with postoperative mental disorders (rpb = 0.193, p = 0.001) and pulmonary complications (rpb = 0.104, p = 0.042). Postoperative nausea (rpb = 0.111, p = 0.03) and postoperative mental disorders (rpb = 0.160, p = 0.002) correlated with high-level surgery-related preoperative anxiety. CONCLUSIONS Since preoperative anxiety affects the postoperative course and almost every third patient experiences anxiety preoperatively, routine screening might be recommended in vascular surgery.

Effect of Preoperative Anxiety on Postoperative Pain after Craniotomy. J Clin Med 2022; 11:jcm11030556.

Abstract
Pain following craniotomy is challenging. Preoperative anxiety can be one of the controllable factors for prevention of post-craniotomy pain. The main objective of this prospective observational study is to determine this relationship in patients undergoing scheduled craniotomy from February to June 2021. After excluding patients with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) ≤ 24 points, we administered a preoperative State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) questionnaire. We recorded the patient's analgesic assessment using the Numerical Rating Score (NRS) at 1, 8, 24, and 48 h after surgery. A total of 73 patients were included in the study. Twelve others were excluded due to a MMSE ≤ 24 points. The main predictors for NRS postoperatively at 1, 8, 24, and 48 h were STAI A/E score, male gender, youth, and depression. We identified a cut-off point of 24.5 in STAI A/E for predicting a NRS > 3 (sensitivity 82% and specificity 65%) at 24 h postoperative and a cut-off of 31.5 in STAI A/R (sensitivity 64% and specificity 77%). In conclusion, preoperative STAI scores could be a useful tool for predicting which patient will experience at least moderate pain after craniotomy. The identification of these patients may allow us to highlight psychological preparation and adjuvant analgesia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preoperative anxiety is associated with increased use of anesthetics and poorer postoperative outcomes. However, the prevalence of preoperative anxiety has not been characterized in Chinese patients. In this study, we aimed to estimate the overall prevalence of preoperative anxiety in Chinese adult patients and to explore the sociodemographic and clinical factors associated with preoperative anxiety in China. METHODS This study was a multicenter cross-sectional study conducted at 32 tertiary referral centers in China from September 1 to October 31, 2020. Adult patients scheduled for elective surgery were evaluated by the 7-item Perioperative Anxiety Scale (PAS-7) for preoperative anxiety after entrance to the operating zone. RESULTS A total of 5191 patients were recruited, and 5018 of them were analyzed. The prevalence of preoperative anxiety measured by PAS-7 was 15.8% (95% CI 14.8 to 16.9%). Multivariable analyses showed female sex, younger age, non-retired, first in a lifetime surgery, surgery of higher risk, and poorer preoperative sleep were associated with higher prevalence of preoperative anxiety. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative anxiety was relatively common (prevalence of 15.8%) among adult Chinese patients undergoing elective surgeries. Further studies are needed using suitable assessment tools to better characterize preoperative anxiety, and additional focus should be placed on perioperative education and intervention, especially in primary hospitals. TRIAL REGISTRATION This study was registered prospectively at www.chictr.org.cn (ChiCTR1900027639) on November 22, 2019.
