Abstract
Background Mental and emotional health can affect outcomes after orthopaedic surgery, and patient resilience has been found to be significantly related to postoperative functional outcomes. Purpose To evaluate the relationship between preoperative patient resilience and 2-year postoperative patient-reported outcomes after rotator cuff repair (RCR). It was hypothesized that patients with low preoperative resilience will have worse patient-reported outcomes at 2 years after RCR versus those with high resilience. Study Design Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods Patients who underwent primary arthroscopic RCR in 2020 at a single institution and completed the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) preoperatively were identified. Other inclusion criteria were American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) and Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) scores at the 2-year follow-up. Outcomes were compared in patients as divided into low resilience (BRS score >1 SD below the mean), normal resilience (BRS score ≤1 SD of the mean), and high resilience (BRS score >1 SD above the mean) groups. Results Overall, 100 patients (52 male, 48 female; mean age, 60 ± 9 years) were included in this study. Mean BRS scores did not change significantly from preoperative to 2-year follow-up (3.8 ± 0.7 vs 3.9 ± 0.8, P = .404). All patients had preoperative ASES scores. Low-resilience patients (n = 17) had significantly lower preoperative ASES scores compared with normal (n = 64) and high resilience (n = 19) patients (35 vs 42 vs 54, respectively; P = .022). There were no significant group differences in postoperative outcomes (revision rate, ASES score, ASES score improvement from preoperative to 2-year follow-up, or SANE score). Multivariate analysis indicated that preoperative resilience was not significantly associated with ASES score improvement (β estimate = -5.64, P = .150), while resilience at 2-year follow-up was significantly related to ASES score improvement (β estimate = 6.41, P = .031). Conclusion Patient-reported outcomes at 2-year follow-up did not differ based on preoperative patient resilience for arthroscopic RCR patients. Multivariate analysis also showed that preoperative resilience was not associated with improvement in ASES scores; however, resilience at 2-year follow-up was associated with ASES score improvement.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2024; 33:S9-S15. [PMID: 38548096 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2024.03.008] [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: 11/15/2023] [Revised: 03/21/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 05/18/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Recovery from anatomic shoulder arthroplasty may be enhanced in patients with good mental health and the resilience to participate in the prescribed postoperative rehabilitation program. To test this concept, we utilized validated and reliable scales in determining whether resilience and mental health are associated with the outcome of anatomic arthroplasty. METHODS Three hundred ninety-nine patients (195 ream and run [RnR] and 204 anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty [aTSA]) were surveyed at a mean follow-up of 6.3 ± 3.3 years. Preoperative variables included age, sex, body mass index, history of prior shoulder surgery, diabetes, visual analog scale for pain, Simple Shoulder Test (SST) scores, and Veteran's RAND 12 Mental Component Score (VR-12 MCS). Outcomes collected included the SST, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, revision rate, and patient satisfaction. Resilience was documented using the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 10 (CD-RISC 10) at latest follow-up. Univariable and multivariable regression analyses were used to identify factors significantly associated with follow-up postoperative SST, ASES, and satisfaction. RESULTS In the univariable analysis, CD-RISC 10 was positively correlated with postoperative SST, ASES, and satisfaction after both RnR and aTSA. The mean CD-RISC 10 scores were higher in the RnR cohort (34.3 ± 4.8 vs. 32.5 ± 6.2 for aTSA, P < .001). Male sex and lower preoperative visual analog scale for pain were correlated with higher ASES after RnR; VR-12 MCS was positively correlated with all outcomes except SST after RnR. In the multivariable linear regression analysis, CD-RISC 10 was independently associated with postoperative SST, ASES and satisfaction scores in aTSA patients. In the RnR cohort, CD-RISC 10 was only correlated with satisfaction. VR-12 MCS was correlated with ASES and satisfaction after RnR. DISCUSSION In this study of anatomic arthroplasties, increased resilience and better mental health were correlated with better outcomes. RnR patients had higher resilience than aTSA patients. Greater resilience was associated with better outcomes after aTSA. Better mental health was associated with superior outcomes after the ream and run procedure.

Abstract
Recent studies have shown that low preoperative resilience may lead to inferior outcomes following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Therefore, the purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate whether preoperative patient resilience is associated with outcome measures, including patient-reported outcome measurements (PROMs) and sleep quality, following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. To perform the review, a literature search was conducted according to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines using the PubMed and Embase databases to gather studies related to the influence of preoperative resilience on postoperative outcomes of rotator cuff repair. Methodological quality and risk of bias were assessed using the Methodological Index for Non-randomized Studies (MINORS). Seven studies with 584 patients were included. Of 36 total reported postoperative outcomes, including PROMs and sleep quality, 14 had a significant positive correlation with higher preoperative resilience. One study reported that higher resilience was significantly correlated with worse sleep quality at a two-week follow-up but not at further follow-ups of up to 24 weeks. Significant differences in outcomes between patients with varying levels of resilience were assessed in five studies, all of which found that patients with higher resilience had significantly better outcomes or no significant differences in outcomes between patients with varying levels of preoperative resilience. In no study was it reported that patients with low resilience had better outcomes. Overall, approximately half of all reported postoperative outcome data was found to be significantly associated with preoperative resilience. Therefore, clinicians should preemptively identify those with low resilience and administer psychological interventions to limit inferior outcomes following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

Abstract
HYPOTHESIS We sought to determine whether patients' preoperative resilience scores predict postoperative outcomes in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair surgery. METHODS Patients were prospectively enrolled and underwent data collection preoperatively and at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. Data collected included demographic characteristics and the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) score, visual analog scale score, Veterans RAND 12-Item Health Survey scores (mental component [VR-12M] and physical component [VR-12P]), American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons Standardized Shoulder Assessment Form score, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation score, and Simple Shoulder Test (SST) score. RESULTS In total, 131 patients had complete 1- or 2-year postoperative outcome measures. Female patients comprised 56.5% of our sample, and the average age was 57.6 years. Between the low, normal, and high resilience groups, there were significant differences in the VR-12M scores at 0, 12, and 24 months postoperatively (P < .01 for all). The VR-12P scores at 12 months were 44.2, 47.4, and 49.8 in the low, normal, and high resilience groups, respectively, showing a trend upward, but this failed to reach the level of significance (P = .08). The SST scores of the low, normal, and high resilience groups at 12 months were 69.1, 79.9, and 85.1, respectively, again showing a trend upward, but this failed to reach the level of significance (P = .07). The SST scores at 0 and 24 months did not differ between groups. There were no significant differences in American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons, visual analog scale, and Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation scores at 0, 12, or 24 months postoperatively. We found a significant positive correlation between the BRS score and SST score at 12 months (R = 0.18), VR-12M score at 12 months (R = 0.38), VR-12M score at 24 months (R = 0.31), and VR-12P score at 12 months (R = 0.21). CONCLUSIONS Our study provides evidence that BRS scores in patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair are related to postoperative outcomes, measured through the VR-12M and SST scores at 2-year follow-up.

Abstract
Purpose To determine whether low resilience is predictive of worse patient-reported outcomes (PROs) or diminished improvements in clinical outcomes after joint preserving and arthroscopic surgery. Methods A comprehensive search of PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Science Direct was performed on September 28, 2022, for studies investigating the relationship between resilience and PROs after arthroscopic surgery in accordance with the Preferred Reported Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines. Results Nine articles (level II-IV studies) were included in the final analysis. A total of 887 patients (54% male, average age 45 years) underwent arthroscopic surgery, including general knee (n = 3 studies), ACLR-only knee (n = 1 study), rotator cuff repair (n = 4 studies), and hip (n = 1 study). The Brief Resilience Scale was the most common instrument measuring resilience in 7 of 9 studies (78%). Five of 9 studies (56%) stratified patients based on high, normal, or low resilience cohorts, and these stratification threshold values differed between studies. Only 4 of 9 studies (44%) measured PROs both before and after surgery. Three of 9 studies (33%) reported rates of return to activity, with 2 studies (22%) noting high resilience to be associated with a higher likelihood of return to sport/duty, specifically after knee arthroscopy. However, significant associations between resilience and functional outcomes were not consistently observed, nor was resilience consistently observed to be predictive of subjects' capacity to return to a preinjury level of function. Conclusions Patient resilience is inconsistently demonstrated to affect clinical outcomes associated with joint preserving and arthroscopic surgery. However, substantial limitations in the existing literature including underpowered sample sizes, lack of standardization in stratifying patients based on pretreatment resilience, and inconsistent collection of PROs throughout the continuum of care, diminish the strength of most conclusions that have been drawn. Level of Evidence Level IV, systematic review of level II-IV studies.

Abstract
Little research has been done to compare resilience, as measured by the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), across common sports medicine patient populations. Our purpose was to investigate resilience levels across sports medicine patient populations. All patients who underwent reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACLR), partial meniscectomy (PM), meniscal repair (MR), rotator cuff repair (RCR), or shoulder stabilization (SS) between January 1 and June 30, 2020, were screened for inclusion. At our institution, BRS scores are routinely collected during the preoperative period. Patients with preoperative BRS scores available were included for analysis. Patients who were eligible on the basis of ACLR who underwent concomitant PM or MR were included in the ACL group. A total of 655 patients with a median age of 49 years were included in analysis. The median preoperative resilience score across all patients was 3.83 (interquartile range, 3.50-4.17), and the highest scores were seen in the ACLR group (median, 4.00; interquartile range, 3.67-4.17). On multivariate regression, scores were significantly and independently lower in the PM and RCR groups. Male patients were found to have significantly higher scores than female patients overall (P=.028), but in subgroup analysis by pathology, this effect was only seen in the SS and PM groups. Psychological factors are important to consider when surgically treating patients, and resilience specifically may play a role in predicting treatment success. Patients undergoing PM and RCR tend to report lower resilience scores than patients undergoing ACLR at preoperative baseline. [Orthopedics. 2024;47(2):95-100.].

[PMID: 37844830 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2023.09.008] [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: 05/14/2023] [Revised: 08/21/2023] [Accepted: 09/03/2023] [Indexed: 10/18/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Prior rotator cuff disease natural history studies have focused on tear-related factors that predict disease progression within a given shoulder. The purpose of this study was to examine both patient- and tear-related characteristics of a painful rotator cuff tear that predict future pain development and functional impairment in a shoulder with a contralateral asymptomatic cuff tear. METHODS This was a prospective longitudinal cohort study of patients aged ≤65 years who underwent surgery for a painful degenerative rotator cuff tear and possessed an asymptomatic contralateral tear. Patients were followed up prospectively by shoulder ultrasound, physical examination, and functional score assessment. The primary outcome was change in the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score at 2 years. Secondary outcomes included the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index (WORC) score, Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) score, Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale (HADS) depression and anxiety scores, and Veterans RAND-12 (VR-12) mental component score (MCS). RESULTS Sixty-five patients were included, with a mean follow-up period of 37 months (range, 24-42 months). In 17 patients (26%), contralateral shoulder pain developed at a median of 15.2 months (interquartile range [IQR], 10.5 months). No difference in age, sex, Charlson Comorbidity Index, or occupational demand was noted between patients in whom pain developed and those in whom pain did not develop. In the presenting painful shoulder, there was no difference in baseline tear size, muscle degeneration, or biceps pathology between groups. The mean baseline tear length (8.6 mm vs. 3.8 mm, P = .0008) and width (8.4 mm vs. 3.2 mm, P = .0004) were larger in asymptomatic shoulders in which pain subsequently developed compared with those in which pain did not develop. However, there was no difference in mean tear enlargement (P = .51 for length and P = .90 for width). There were no differences in baseline ASES, WORC, Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS), or HADS depression and anxiety scores between shoulders in which pain developed and those in which pain did not develop; however, patients in whom pain developed reported a lower baseline VR-12 MCS (53.3 vs. 57.6, P = .04). Shoulders in which pain developed had higher visual analog scale pain scores (2.9 [standard deviation (SD), 2.5] vs. 0.6 [SD, 1.0]; P = .016), lower ASES scores 75 [SD, 33] vs. 100 [SD, 11.6]; P = .001), and significant changes in all WORC scales with pain onset compared with those that remained asymptomatic. The study showed no significant difference in changes in the HADS anxiety and depression scores but found a significant increase in the VR-12 MCS in patients in whom pain developed (7.1 [interquartile range, 12.6] vs. -1.9 [interquartile range, 8.7]; P = .036). CONCLUSION In one-quarter of patients with painful cuff tears, pain developed in a contralateral asymptomatic cuff tear that resulted in a measurable decline in function within 3 years. Our analysis showed that only the baseline tear size of the asymptomatic shoulder was predictive of pain development. There were no tear-related features of the presenting painful rotator cuff tear or indices of mental health and physical function or occupational demand that were predictive of future pain development at short-term follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of anxiety among patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery and its association with postoperative function has been well documented; however, the level of anxiety and anxiety-related characteristics remain unclear. As such, the present study investigated the characteristics of state anxiety in patients undergoing arthroscopic meniscectomy. METHODS Data from 75 patients, who underwent arthroscopic partial meniscectomy under general anesthesia and completed an anxiety status questionnaire between April 2021 and March 2022, were retrospectively collected and reviewed. The State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)-X was used to measure state anxiety; a total score ≥ 52 was defined as clinically meaningful state anxiety. STAI score, main cause of preoperative anxiety, most anxious period, and most helpful factors for reducing perioperative anxiety were investigated. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to the main cause of preoperative anxiety; surgery or anesthesia (group I [n = 47]); and postoperative pain or rehabilitation (group II [n = 28]) Characteristics of state-anxiety between the two groups were compared using independent t-tests. RESULTS The mean STAI score of the total population was 39.1 points (range, 20-60 points). The mean STAI score was significantly higher in group I than in group II (41.9 vs. 34.4 points, respectively; P < 0.001). The proportion of patients with clinically meaningful state anxiety was significantly higher in group I than in group II (23.4% vs. 3.6%, respectively, P = 0.02). Most patients (66.0% in group I and 50.0% in group II) responded that trust in medical staff was the most helpful factor in overcoming preoperative anxiety. In group I, 63.8% reported that the surgeon's explanation was the most helpful factor in reducing postoperative anxiety, whereas in group II, 71.4% reported that the natural course after surgery was the most helpful factor. CONCLUSIONS Surgeons should be aware that anxiety related to arthroscopic meniscectomy differs according to patient characteristics, and a preoperative explanation of the postoperative process with the surgeon is important for patients who experience preoperative anxiety regarding anesthesia or the surgery itself.

Abstract
Background Recent advances have begun to identify the nonphysical factors facilitating successful return to sport (RTS) after shoulder instability surgery, yet little is currently known regarding psychological factors and RTS. Purpose/Hypothesis The purposes of this study were to (1) identify psychological factors associated with RTS, (2) evaluate the prognostic utility of various psychological factors, and (3) evaluate the available metrics used to assess psychological RTS readiness. It was hypothesized that psychological factors would be identified as critical elements influencing a patient's RTS. Study Design Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4. Methods Clinical studies reporting on the psychological determinants of RTS for patients who had surgery for shoulder instability between 1996 and 2022 were identified from MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane databases. Demographic, clinical, and psychometric properties were extracted for pooled weighted analysis. Results Of the 969 studies screened, 24 (2.5%) met inclusion criteria. Overall, 2135 patients were included (mean age, 26.0 years; range, 17.4-35.5 years; 84.7% male). The mean time to RTS was 6.8 months (range, 3.7-11.9 months). There was a 76.3% rate of any RTS; of the 1212 patients who reported level of play at return, 305 (25.2%) were unable to perform at their prior level. Psychological reasons were cited by 85% (n = 360) of patients who did not RTS. Fear of reinjury was the most common reason (n = 154; 42.8%); other psychological factors included lack of confidence (n = 46; 12.8%), anxiety (n = 45; 12.5%), depression (n = 44; 12.2%), psychosocial factors (n = 48; 13.3%), and lack of motivation (n = 23; 6.4%). The Shoulder Instability Return to Sport after Injury, Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index, Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptoms Self Report, Degree of Shoulder Involvement in Sports, Tampa Scale of Kinesiophobia-11, and Veterans Rand 12-Item Health Survey were reported measures for assessing psychology and RTS. Conclusion Fear of reinjury was found to be the most commonly reported impediment to RTS. The psychological characteristics identified through this review may be incorporated into future RTS protocols seeking to address resilience and nonphysical factors associated with RTS.

Abstract
Background Various studies have examined the relationship between preoperative mental health diagnoses (MHDs) and postoperative outcomes in orthopedic shoulder patients. However, few investigations delve into the relationship between a preoperative MHD and postoperative opioid pain control regimens in patients who have undergone rotator cuff repair (RCR), total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA), and reverse TSA (rTSA). We hypothesize that orthopedic shoulder patients with a preoperative MHD will be prescribed more opioids (ie, request more refills) postoperatively than those without a MHD. Methods An institutional review board-approved retrospective chart review was performed on 438 patients, 18 years or older, who underwent RCR, TSA, or rTSA. Patients were divided into two groups: those diagnosed with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and/or schizophrenia (n = 193), and those with no previous MHD (n = 245). Statistical outcomes were analyzed with the independent t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, one-way Analysis of Variance, and Kruskal-Wallis test. Results Univariate analysis demonstrated significant differences between the MHD group and non-MHD group in average 90-day postoperative opioid scripts (2.10 vs. 1.55, respectively, P < .001) and median 90-day postoperative morphine milligram equivalents (MMEs) prescribed (225 MME vs. 185.25 MME, respectively, P < .001). Among patients who were opioid naive 90 days preoperatively, significant differences were found in MMEs prescribed between the MHD and non-MHD group (225 MME vs. 150 MME, respectively, P < .001). Further analysis of opioid naive patients with specifically depression compared to patients with an alternate or no MHD diagnosis yielded significant differences in scripts (1.78 vs. 1.33, respectively, P = .031) and MMEs prescribed (225 MME vs. 150 MME, respectively, P < .001). Conclusion This study found that RCR, TSA, or rTSA patients with a preoperative MHD were prescribed significantly more postoperative MMEs and more opioid scripts (ie, requested more refills) than those without MHD. This is despite preoperative education on postoperative pain expectations and limiting opioid use. Our findings support our hypothesis and emphasize the clinical importance of recognizing mental health disease while navigating postoperative pain control expectations. Given the rising prevalence of mental health disorders nationwide, considering the effect of these comorbidities on postoperative pain in RCR, TSA, and rTSA patients will be essential to enhance preoperative and postoperative counseling and management by orthopedic surgeons. We further recommend a multidisciplinary approach to help manage pain in these patients.
