Does psychological distress predict risk of orthopaedic surgery and postoperative opioid prescribing in patients with hip pain? A retrospective study. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2024; 25:304. [PMID: 38643071 PMCID: PMC11031887 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-024-07418-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/07/2023] [Accepted: 04/05/2024] [Indexed: 04/22/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Clinicians and public health professionals have allocated resources to curb opioid over-prescription and address psychological needs among patients with musculoskeletal pain. However, associations between psychological distress, risk of surgery, and opioid prescribing among those with hip pathologies remain unclear. METHODS Using a retrospective cohort study design, we identified patients that were evaluated for hip pain from January 13, 2020 to October 27, 2021. Patients' surgical histories and postoperative opioid prescriptions were extracted via chart review. Risk of hip surgery within one year of evaluation was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression. Multivariable linear regression was employed to predict average morphine milligram equivalents (MME) per day of opioid prescriptions within the first 30 days after surgery. Candidate predictors included age, gender, race, ethnicity, employment, insurance type, hip function and quality of life on the International Hip Outcome Tool (iHOT-12), and psychological distress phenotype using the OSPRO Yellow Flag (OSPRO-YF) Assessment Tool. RESULTS Of the 672 patients, n = 350 (52.1%) underwent orthopaedic surgery for hip pain. In multivariable analysis, younger patients, those with TRICARE/other government insurance, and those with a high psychological distress phenotype had higher odds of surgery. After adding iHOT-12 scores, younger patients and lower iHOT-12 scores were associated with higher odds of surgery, while Black/African American patients had lower odds of surgery. In multivariable analysis of average MME, patients with periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) received opioid prescriptions with significantly higher average MME than those with other procedures, and surgery type was the only significant predictor. Post-hoc analysis excluding PAO found higher average MME for patients undergoing hip arthroscopy (compared to arthroplasty or other non-PAO procedures) and significantly lower average MME for patients with public insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) compared to those with private insurance. Among those only undergoing arthroscopy, older age and having public insurance were associated with opioid prescriptions with lower average MME. Neither iHOT-12 scores nor OSPRO-YF phenotype assignment were significant predictors of postoperative mean MME. CONCLUSIONS Psychological distress characteristics are modifiable targets for rehabilitation programs, but their use as prognostic factors for risk of orthopaedic surgery and opioid prescribing in patients with hip pain appears limited when considered alongside other commonly collected clinical information such as age, insurance, type of surgery pursued, and iHOT-12 scores.

Arthroplast Today 2024; 25:101298. [PMID: 38313191 PMCID: PMC10834461 DOI: 10.1016/j.artd.2023.101298] [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: 02/21/2023] [Revised: 07/18/2023] [Accepted: 11/05/2023] [Indexed: 02/06/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Complications following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) that necessitate revision cause considerable psychological distress and symptoms of depression, which are linked to poorer postoperative outcomes, increased complications, and increased healthcare utilization. We aimed to identify the prevalence of mental health disorders and symptoms preoperatively and postoperatively in patients undergoing aseptic revision TKA and to stratify these patients based on their mechanism of failure. Methods All patients undergoing aseptic revision TKA from 2008 to 2019 with a minimum 1-year follow-up were retrospectively reviewed at a single institution. Patients (n = 394) were grouped based on 7 failure modes previously described. Patients were considered to have depressive symptoms if their Veterans RAND-12 mental component score was below 42. Preoperative and postoperative Veterans RAND-12 mental component scores at the latest follow-up were evaluated. Results Overall comparative prevalence of preoperative to postoperative depressive symptoms was 23.4%-18.8%. By mode of failure are as follows: arthrofibrosis (25.8%-16.7%), aseptic loosening (25.3%-18.9%), extensor mechanism disruption (25%-50%), failed unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (8.6%-14.3%), instability (25.7%-17.1%), osteolysis or polyethylene wear (23.1%-23.1%), and patellar failure (11.8%-23.5%). There was no difference in depressive symptoms among failure modes preoperatively (P = .376) or at the latest postoperative follow-up (P = .175). Conclusions The prevalence of depressive symptoms in revision TKA patients appears to be independent of failure mode. Surgeon awareness and screening for depressive symptoms in this patient population preoperatively with referral for potential treatment may improve early postoperative outcomes.

[PMID: 37576284 PMCID: PMC10415873 DOI: 10.1016/j.heliyon.2023.e18813] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/08/2022] [Revised: 07/08/2023] [Accepted: 07/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Background The devastating opioid epidemic in the United States has been exacerbated by health care practices as well as underlying individual factors. Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) is one of the most common surgical procedures performed annually and patients frequently require opioids for pain control. Patient anxiety and depression has been shown to be associated with increased pain and poorer outcomes after TJA. Our study sought to determine if there was an association between depression/anxiety and postoperative opioid use following TJA. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, postoperative outcomes after TJA were compared among three cohorts of patients: 1) no depression; 2) mild depression; or 3) moderate or severe depression at our institution from 2017 to 2019. Our primary outcome was persistent opioid use ≥3 months after surgery. Secondary outcomes included postoperative day 1 opioid consumption and hospital length of stay (LOS). Multivariable regression modeling was performed to control for various potential confounders. Results Of the 542 total patients that met inclusion criteria for this study, 53 (9.8%) had mild depression and 67 (12.4%) had moderate or severe depression. Persistent opioid use ≥3 months after surgery was found in 132 (24.3%) patients. Mild depression was associated with increased odds of persistent opioid use (odds ratio 4.11, 95% confidence interval 1.65-10.18, P = 0.002). Depression was not associated with immediate postoperative opioid use or hospital LOS. Conclusion Mild depression was associated with persistent opioid use after surgery. Future studies should investigate if better management of this comorbidity could improve outcomes in patients undergoing joint arthroplasty.

Abstract
Introduction Given the challenges health systems face in providing effective nonpharmacologic treatment for pain and psychological distress, clinical effectiveness studies of evidence-based strategies such as music therapy (MT) are needed. Objectives This study examined changes in patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after MT and explored variables associated with pain reduction of ≥2 units on a 0 to 10 numeric rating scale (NRS). Methods A retrospective review was conducted on initial MT interventions provided to adults receiving community hospital care between January 2017 and July 2020. Sessions were included if participants reported pre-session pain, anxiety, and/or stress scores of ≥4 on the NRS. Data analysis included a bootstrap analysis of single-session changes in PROs and a logistic regression exploring variables associated with pain reduction (ie, ≥2 units vs <2 units). Results Patients (n = 1056; mean age: 63.83 years; 76.1% female; 57.1% White; 41.1% Black/African American) reported clinically significant mean reductions in pain (2.04 units), anxiety (2.80 units), and stress (3.48 units). After adjusting for demographic, clinical, and operational characteristics in the model (c-statistic = 0.668), patients receiving an MT session in which pain management was a goal were 4.32 times more likely (95% confidence interval 2.26, 8.66) to report pain reduction of ≥2 units than patients receiving an MT session in which pain management was not a session goal. Conclusion This retrospective study supports the clinical effectiveness of MT for symptom management in community hospitals. However, additional research is needed to determine which characteristics of MT interventions and patients influence pain change.

Healthcare-related correlates of preoperative psychological distress among a mixed surgical and cancer-specific sample. J Psychosom Res 2022; 162:111036.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Preoperative distress is commonly experienced by surgical patients and is associated with adverse health-related outcomes. Research suggests preoperative distress may be elevated among cancer surgery patients relative to other surgical groups and there appears to be greater recognition of the adverse impacts of distress for these patients. This study examined associations between preoperative distress and postoperative healthcare-related correlates (e.g., length of stay, re-hospitalization) among a large, mixed surgical sample, and separately among cancer surgery patients with active cancer. METHODS We analyzed secondary data from the Vascular Events In Non-cardiac Surgery Patients Cohort Evaluation (VISION) study - Mental Health Supplement (N = 997; n = 370 active cancer/cancer surgery). The Kessler 6-item Psychological Distress Scale assessed preoperative distress on the day of surgery. Multivariable regressions examined associations between distress and healthcare-related correlates. For significant relationships, we examined associations between anxiety and depressive subscales of distress with the correlates of interest. RESULTS Among the full surgical sample, after adjustment, preoperative distress was associated with a greater length of stay (b = 0.01, 95% CI [0.00-0.02], R2 = 0.15, f2 = 0.18) and increased odds of re-hospitalization (AOR = 1.07, 95%CI [1.01-1.13]). Results were comparable among cancer surgery patients (length of stay: b = 0.02, re-hospitalization: AOR = 1.11). Post-hoc analyses revealed associations between anxiety symptoms and re-hospitalization (AOR range: 1.13-1.26) and between depressive symptoms and length of hospital stay (b range: 0.02-0.04, R2 range: 0.07-0.15, f2 range: 0.07-0.18). CONCLUSIONS Findings suggest preoperative distress may be associated with greater postoperative healthcare needs. Results support the importance of screening for distress in the perioperative period.

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
Because of the increasing global trend of patients with mental disorders, orthopedic surgeons are more likely to encounter orthopedic patients with mental disorders in clinical settings. Identifying the characteristics of these patients and implementing psychiatric management can affect the clinical outcome of orthopedic treatment. Thus, orthopedic surgeons need to assess the psychiatric medical history of orthopedic patients with mental disorders before surgery and understand the psychological and behavioral patterns of patients with mental disorders. In addition, appropriate psychiatric consultations and evaluations are necessary to prevent worsening of mental disorders before and after surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Implant malalignment may be a risk factor for poor patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS Postoperative surveys were administered to assess PROMs regarding satisfaction, pain, and function in 262 patients who underwent surgery at 4 centers in the U.S. and U.K (average age, 67.2) at a mean 5.5 years after primary TKA. Postoperative distal femoral angle (DFA), proximal tibial angle (PTA), and posterior tibial slope angle (PSA) were radiographically measured, and outliers were recorded. PROMs were compared between patients with aligned versus malaligned knees using univariate analysis. RESULTS Patients with DFA, PTA, and PSA outliers were more likely to experience similar or decreased activity levels postoperatively than patients with no alignment outliers, as were patients with 1 or 2 outliers of any kind (P < .05). Patients with DFA, PTA, and PSA outliers were significantly more likely to be dissatisfied with their ability to perform activities of daily living (ADLs), as were patients with 1 or 2 outliers of any kind (P < .05). Patients with DFA and PSA outliers were more likely to be dissatisfied with their degree of pain relief, as were patients with 2 outliers of any kind (P < .05). Finally, patients with DFA and PSA outliers, as well as those with 1 outlier of any kind, were more likely to be dissatisfied with their overall knee function (P < .05). CONCLUSION DFA, PTA, and PSA outliers represent a significant risk factor for decreased satisfaction with activities of daily living(ADLs), pain relief, and knee function, as well as decreased activity levels.

Patients Obtain Meaningful Clinical Benefit After Hip Arthroscopy Despite Preoperative Psychological Distress: A Propensity-Matched Analysis of Mid-Term Outcomes. Arthroscopy 2022; 38:773-782. [PMID: 34019982 DOI: 10.1016/j.arthro.2021.05.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/08/2021] [Revised: 04/20/2021] [Accepted: 05/05/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023]
Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the influence of baseline psychological distress on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) after arthroscopic hip surgery for femoroacetabular impingement at a minimum of 5 years. METHODS Demographic and intraoperative data were prospectively collected from patients who underwent primary arthroscopic hip surgery for femoroacetabular impingement and labral tears after failure of conservative management between June 2012 and December 2014. Included patients had preoperative and minimum 5-year postoperative PROs and visual analog scale scores for pain and satisfaction. The 12-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12) Mental Component Summary (MCS) score was used to stratify patients into 2 cohorts: Patients with an average or above-average score (SF-12 MCS score ≥ 50) were considered psychologically non-distressed, whereas those who scored below average (SF-12 MCS score < 50) were considered to have psychological distress. Distressed patients were propensity matched by age, sex, and body mass index to an equal number of non-distressed patients. RESULTS Of the 153 hips that met the inclusion criteria, 117 (76.5%) had minimum 5-year follow-up. Eighty-two hips were included in the final analysis after propensity matching, with 41 in both the distressed and non-distressed cohorts. Preoperatively, patients in the distressed cohort reported inferior scores for all PROs. There was a significant difference in the SF-12 MCS score between groups at 2 years, but similar scores were observed for all other PROs. At minimum 5-year follow-up, there were no differences between groups for any PRO. There were no differences in the rates of achieving the minimal clinically important difference for all PROs or in achieving the patient acceptable symptomatic state for the modified Harris Hip Score. CONCLUSIONS Patients with baseline psychological distress may have a lower functional status at the time of presentation but still gain meaningful clinical benefit and pain improvement from arthroscopic hip surgery, with mid-term outcomes comparable to those obtained by patients without preoperative psychological distress. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective comparative study.

Arthroplast Today 2022; 13:69-75. [PMID: 34977309 PMCID: PMC8685908 DOI: 10.1016/j.artd.2021.09.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2021] [Revised: 08/16/2021] [Accepted: 09/20/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication after total joint arthroplasty. Patients undergoing revision for PJI may experience psychological distress and symptoms of depression, both of which are linked to poor postoperative outcomes. We, therefore, aim to identify the prevalence of depression and depressive symptoms in patients before treatment for PJI and their link to functional outcomes. Methods Patients undergoing either debridement with implant retention (DAIR) or 2-stage exchange for PJI with minimum 1-year follow-up were retrospectively reviewed. The 2-stage (n = 37) and single-stage (n = 39) patients that met inclusion criteria were matched based off age (±5 years), gender, and body mass index (±5) to patients undergoing aseptic revisions. Outcomes evaluated included a preoperative diagnosis of clinical depression and preoperative and postoperative Veterans RAND 12 Item Health Survey mental component score and physical component score. Results Compared to matched controls, the prevalence of depressive symptoms was significantly greater in patients undergoing 2-stage exchange preoperatively (40.5% vs 10.8%, P < .01) but not postoperatively (21.6% vs 10.8%, P = .20). Patients undergoing DAIR with either preoperative depressive symptoms (31.3 vs 40.9, P = .05) or a preoperative diagnosis of depression (27.7 vs 43.1, P < .01) had significantly lower physical component scores postoperatively. Conclusions Patients undergoing 2-stage exchange for PJI have a four times higher prevalence of preoperative depressive symptoms than patients undergoing aseptic revision. Patients undergoing DAIR with depression or preoperative depressive symptoms have lower functional scores postoperatively. Orthopedic surgeon screening of PJI patients with referral for treatment of depression may help improve outcomes postoperatively.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to compare the prevalence of mental health conditions among patients undergoing (1) primary total knee arthroplasty (pTKA), (2) septic revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA), and (3) aseptic revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The State Inpatient Databases were queried for all TKAs from 2005 to 2014 yielding 563,144 patients. Patients were separated into the following cohorts: primary, septic revision, and aseptic revision. Diagnoses of any mental health condition and the following specific conditions were compared between the three cohorts: schizophrenia/delusion, bipolar disorder, depression/mood disorder, personality disorder, anxiety/somatic/dissociative disorder, eating disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder/conduct/impulse control, alcohol abuse, and drug abuse. Throughout the study period, an increase in the prevalence of mental health conditions was observed in septic and aseptic revision patients. Overall, there was a significantly higher prevalence of mental health conditions in the septic revision cohort (22.7%) compared with the primary (17.8%, p < 0.001) and aseptic revision (20.0%, p < 0.001) cohorts. Specifically, septic revision TKA patients had a higher prevalence of depression (p < 0.001), alcohol abuse (p < 0.001), drug abuse (p < 0.001), schizophrenia (p = 0.0007), and bipolar disorder (p < 0.001), compared with primary TKA patients. Additionally, there was a significantly higher prevalence of depression (p < 0.001), alcohol abuse (p < 0.001), and drug abuse (p < 0.001) among septic revision patients compared with aseptic revision patients. Mental health conditions were significantly higher among septic revision patients. Alcohol and drug abuse were approximately twice as prevalent in septic revision patients compared with primary and aseptic revision patients. These findings should serve as a call to action for mental health support for patients suffering from PJI.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To date, no meta-analysis of the relationship between hospital readmission after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) and preoperative depression has been conducted. Hence, this systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the association of preoperative depression with the readmission rate following TJA. METHODS We systematically searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library for studies published before March 28, 2021, which compared readmission rates in patients with or without preoperative depression who underwent TJA. The primary outcome was the relationship between preoperative depression and 30-day and 90-day readmission rates after TJA. We also performed surgery type subgroup analyses for total hip arthroplasty, total knee arthroplasty (TKA), total shoulder arthroplasty, and total ankle arthroplasty. RESULTS We included 9 studies with 395,815 TJA cases, of which 49,402 were diagnosed with preoperative depression and 346,413 were not. In pooled TJA analysis, the 30-day and 90-day readmission rates were significantly higher in the depression group than in the no-depression group (odds ratio [OR] 1.86, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.26-2.73, P = .002 and OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.14-1.43,; P < .001, respectively). In the subgroup analyses, the 90-day readmission rate was higher in the depression group than in the no-depression group after TKA (OR 1.28, 95% CI 1.15-1.42, P < .001). There were no differences in other surgery types. CONCLUSION Based on available evidence, preoperative depression increases the readmission rate after TJA, particularly TKA. As depression is a modifiable risk factor, screening for depression and referring patients for proper psychiatric management are important. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, meta-analysis.

Abstract
➤ There is a growing body of evidence implicating psychosocial factors, including anxiety, depression, kinesiophobia, central sensitization, and pain catastrophizing, as negative prognostic factors following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). ➤ Symptoms of anxiety and depression likely represent risk factors for negative outcomes in patients undergoing TKA. However, few studies have assessed the impact of preoperative interventions for these conditions on postoperative outcomes. ➤ The Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia and the Central Sensitization Inventory have demonstrated value in the diagnosis of kinesiophobia and central sensitization. Higher preoperative indices of kinesiophobia and central sensitization predict worse patient-reported outcomes postoperatively. ➤ Although evidence is limited, cognitive-behavioral therapy for kinesiophobia and duloxetine for central sensitization may help to diminish the negative impact of these preoperative comorbidities. It is important to note, however, that outside the realm of TKA, cognitive-behavioral therapy has been recognized as a more effective treatment for central sensitization than medical treatment. ➤ Awareness of these issues will allow surgeons to better prepare patients regarding postoperative expectations in the setting of a comorbid psychosocial risk factor. Further research into the role of preoperative assessment and possible treatment of these conditions in patients undergoing TKA is warranted.

Abstract
AIMS The goal of the current systematic review was to assess the impact of implant placement accuracy on outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS A systematic review was performed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines using the Ovid Medline, Embase, Cochrane Central, and Web of Science databases in order to assess the impact of the patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) and implant placement accuracy on outcomes following TKA. Studies assessing the impact of implant alignment, rotation, size, overhang, or condylar offset were included. Study quality was assessed, evidence was graded (one-star: no evidence, two-star: limited evidence, three-star: moderate evidence, four-star: strong evidence), and recommendations were made based on the available evidence. RESULTS A total of 49 studies were identified for inclusion. With respect to PROMs, there was two-star evidence in support of mechanical axis alignment (MAA), femorotibial angle (FTA), femoral coronal angle (FCA), tibial coronal angle (TCA), femoral sagittal angle (FSA), femoral rotation, tibial and combined rotation/mismatch, and implant size/overhang or offset on PROMs, and one-star evidence in support of tibial sagittal angle (TSA), impacting PROMs. With respect to survival, there was three- to four-star evidence in support FTA, FCA, TCA, and TSA, moderate evidence in support of femoral rotation, tibial and combined rotation/mismatch, and limited evidence in support of MAA, FSA, and implant size/overhang or offset impacting survival. CONCLUSION Overall, there is limited evidence to suggest that PROMs are impacted by the accuracy of implant placement, and malalignment does not appear to be a significant driver of the observed high rates of patient dissatisfaction following TKA. However, FTA, FCA, TCA, TSA, and implant rotation demonstrate a moderate-strong relationship with implant survival. Efforts should be made to improve the accuracy of these parameters in order to improve TKA survival. Cite this article: Bone Joint J 2021;103-B(9):1449-1456.

Influence of weekday of admission and level of distress on length of hospital stay in patients with low back pain: a retrospective cohort study. BMC Musculoskelet Disord 2021; 22:656. [PMID: 34353298 PMCID: PMC8340547 DOI: 10.1186/s12891-021-04529-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/18/2020] [Accepted: 07/16/2021] [Indexed: 11/22/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Low back pain (LBP) is often a complex problem requiring interdisciplinary management to address patients' multidimensional needs. Providing inpatient care for patients with LBP in primary care hospitals is a challenge. In this setting, interdisciplinary LBP management is often unavailable during weekends. Delays in therapeutic procedures may result in a prolonged length of hospital stay (LoS). The impact of delays on LoS might be strongest in patients reporting high levels of psychological distress. Therefore, this study investigates the influence of weekday of admission and distress on LoS of inpatients with LBP. METHODS This retrospective cohort study was conducted between 1 February 2019 and 31 January 2020. In part 1, a negative binomial model was fitted to LoS with weekday of admission as a predictor. In part 2, the same model included weekday of admission, distress level, and their interaction as covariates. Planned contrast was used in part 1 to estimate the difference in log-expected LoS between group 1 (admissions Friday/Saturday) and the reference group (admissions Sunday-Thursday). In part 2, the same contrast was used to estimate the corresponding difference in (per-unit) distress trends. RESULTS We identified 173 patients with LBP. The mean LoS was 7.8 days (SD = 5.59). Patients admitted on Friday (mean LoS = 10.3) and Saturday (LoS = 10.6) had longer stays, but not those admitted on Sunday (LoS = 7.1). Analysis of the weekday effect and planned contrast showed that admission on Friday or Saturday was associated with a significant increase in LoS (log ratio = 0.42, 95% CI = 0.21 to 0.63). A total of 101 patients (58%) returned questionnaires, and complete data on distress were available from 86 patients (49%). According to the negative binomial model for LoS and the planned contrast, the distress effect on LoS was significantly influenced (difference in slopes = 0.816, 95% CI = 0.03 to 1.60) by dichotomic weekdays of admission (Friday/Saturday vs. Sunday-Thursday). CONCLUSIONS Delays in interdisciplinary LBP management over the weekend may prolong LoS. This may particularly affect patients reporting high levels of distress. Our study provides a platform to further explore whether interdisciplinary LBP management addressing patients' multidimensional needs reduces LoS in primary care hospitals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is known to be a risk factor for complication following primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), but little is known about new-onset depression (NOD) following THA. The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of NOD and identify risk factors for its occurrence after THA. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study of the Truven MarketScan database. Patients undergoing primary THA were identified and separated into cohorts based on the presence or not of NOD. Patients with preoperative depression or a diagnosis of fracture were excluded. Patient demographic and comorbid data were queried, and postoperative complications were collected. Univariate and multivariate regression analysis was then performed to assess the association of NOD with patient-specific factors and postoperative complications. RESULTS In total, 111,838 patients undergoing THA were identified and 2517 (2.25%) patients had NOD in the first postoperative year. Multivariate analysis demonstrated that preoperative opioid use, female gender, higher Elixhauser comorbidity index, preoperative anxiety disorder, drug or alcohol use disorder, and preoperative smoking were associated with the occurrence of NOD (P ≤ .001). The following postoperative complications were associated with increased odds of NOD: prosthetic joint infection (odds ratio [OR] 1.82, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.42-2.34, P < .001), aseptic revision surgery (OR 1.47, 95% CI 1.06-2.04, P = .019), periprosthetic fracture (OR 1.72, 95% CI 1.13-2.61, P = .01), and non-home discharge (OR 1.59, 95% CI 1.42-1.77, P < .001). CONCLUSIONS NOD is common following THA and there are multiple patient-specific factors and postoperative complications which increase the odds of its occurrence. Providers should use this information to identify at-risk patients so that pre-emptive prevention strategies may be employed.

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.

Modifiability of Depression's Impact on Early Revision, Narcotic Usage, and Outcomes After Total Hip Arthroplasty: The Impact of Psychotherapy. J Arthroplasty 2020; 35:2904-2910.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is known to negatively influence functional recovery, patient satisfaction, narcotic requirements, implant survivorship, and perioperative resource utilization after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The degree to which this effect is modifiable is largely unknown, with mixed results on preoperative pharmacological intervention, and concomitant concerns over side effects. We aim to investigate the influence of psychotherapy before THA on surgical outcomes, medical complications, and resource utilization. METHODS A retrospective chart review of Truven MarketScan Databases was performed to generate 3 cohorts: patients without depression, patients with depression who did not receive preoperative psychotherapy, and patients with depression who received psychotherapy before surgery. Outcomes of interest were resource utilization, surgical and medical complications, narcotic requirements, and 1-year and 3-year revision rates. RESULTS On multivariate analysis, depressed patients who did not receive psychotherapy were more likely to be discharged to inpatient rehabilitation facility (odds ratio [OR] 1.28, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.10-1.48, P < .001) and require 2 or more postoperative narcotic prescriptions (OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.06-1.37, P = .004) than depressed patients who received psychotherapy. Patients who did not receive psychotherapy were more likely to have continued narcotic requirements within 1 year after surgery (OR 1.23, 95% CI 1.08-1.39, P < .001) and undergo revision at 1 year (OR 1.74, 95% CI 1.17-2.58, P = .006) and 3 years (OR 1.92, 95% CI 1.10-3.34, P = .021) than depressed patients who received psychotherapy. CONCLUSION The negative influence of depression on narcotic requirements, resource utilization, and implant survivorship after THA appears to be modifiable with preoperative psychotherapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Incidence of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is projected to rise 276% in 2030, and psychological distress affects up to 42% of people with knee osteoarthritis undergoing TKA, with demonstrated detrimental effects on postoperative outcomes. Few studies have assessed psychological treatment in people awaiting TKA, and these have been psychologist-delivered treatments. No evidence exists regarding psychologically-informed interventions delivered by health professionals currently embedded in TKA clinical pathways. The primary aim of this pilot study is to explore the safety, acceptability and feasibility of the Knee Osteoarthritis Management with Physiotherapy informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (KOMPACT) approach in people awaiting TKA. METHODS AND ANALYSIS 51 community-dwelling adults scheduled for a primary TKA at two hospitals will be recruited to this pilot, mixed-methods, prospective randomised controlled trial with assessor blinding. Participants will be randomised in a 1:2 ratio to either usual care (education class) or usual care plus KOMPACT (2 hours 20 min of preoperative physiotherapy informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy). Our primary outcome measures are safety (length of stay, complications and psychological health after KOMPACT), acceptability (treatment credibility and qualitative data) and feasibility (recruitment, retention and intervention fidelity) of the KOMPACT approach. Secondary outcomes include health service outcomes, patient-reported physical and psychological outcomes, and physical performance measures. Quantitative data collection was conducted at baseline, 1-2 weeks before TKA, 6 weeks after TKA and 6 months after TKA. Qualitative data collection is 1-2 weeks before TKA. Data analysis will take a quantitative-led approach with triangulation after thematic analysis of the qualitative data. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION This study has full ethics approval (HREC/18/WMEAD/440). Results from this study will be published in peer-reviewed journals and presented at local and international conferences. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER Australia New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry (ACTRN12618001867280p).

Wilson JM, Farley KX, Erens GA, Bradbury TL, Guild GN. Preoperative Depression Is Associated With Increased Risk Following Revision Total Joint Arthroplasty. J Arthroplasty 2020; 35:1048-1053. [PMID: 31848077 PMCID: PMC7199643 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2019.11.025] [Citation(s) in RCA: 39] [Impact Index Per Article: 9.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/23/2019] [Revised: 10/30/2019] [Accepted: 11/14/2019] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The incidence of revision total hip (rTHA) and knee (rTKA) arthroplasty continues to increase. Preoperative depression is known to influence outcomes following primary arthroplasty. Despite this, it remains unknown whether the same relationship exists for patients undergoing revision procedures. The purpose of this study, therefore, is to investigate this relationship. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study. Patients undergoing rTHA and rTKA were identified from the Truven MarketScan database. Patients with a diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection were excluded. Two cohorts were created: those with preoperative depression and those without. We included patients who were enrolled in the database for 1 year preoperatively and postoperatively. Demographic and complication data were collected, and statistical analysis was then performed comparing complications between cohorts. RESULTS A total of 10,017 patients undergoing rTHA and 13,973 patients undergoing rTKA were included in this study. Of these, 1305 (13.1%) and 2012 (14.4%) had depression, respectively. Multivariate analysis found that, after rTHA, preoperative depression was associated with extended length of stay, nonhome discharge, 90-day readmission, 90-day emergency department visit, prosthetic joint infection, revision surgery, and increased costs (P < .001). Similarly, following rTKA, depression was associated with extended length of stay, nonhome discharge, 90-day readmission, 90-day emergency department visit, revision surgery, and increased costs (P < .001). CONCLUSION Depression before revision total joint arthroplasty is common and is associated with increased risk of complication and increased healthcare resource utilization following both rTHA and rTKA. Further research will be needed to delineate to what degree this represents a modifiable risk factor.
