Preoperative Depression Screening for Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty: An Evaluation of Its Modifiability on Outcomes in Patients Who Have Depression. J Arthroplasty 2024; 39:2040-2046. [PMID: 38382629 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.02.035] [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: 06/12/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 02/13/2024] [Indexed: 02/23/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have evaluated preoperative depression screenings in patients who have depression. We studied whether depression screenings before total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were associated with lower: 1) medical complications; 2) emergency department (ED) utilizations and readmissions; 3) implant complications; and 4) costs. METHODS A nationwide sample from January 1, 2010, to April 30, 2021, was collected using an insurance database. Depression patients were 1:1 propensity-score matched based on those who had (n = 29,009) and did not have (n = 29,009) preoperative depression screenings or psychotherapy visits within 3 months of TKA. A case-matched population who did not have depression was compared (n = 144,994). A 90-day period was used to compare complications and health-care utilization and 2-year follow-up for periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs) and implant survivorship. Costs were 90-day reimbursements. Logistic regression models computed odds ratios (ORs) of depression screening on dependent variables. P values less than .001 were significant. RESULTS Patients who did not receive preoperative screening were associated with higher medical complications (18.7 versus 5.2%, OR: 4.15, P < .0001) and ED utilizations (11.5 versus 3.2%, OR: 3.93, P < .0001) than depressed patients who received screening. Patients who had screening had lower medical complications (5.2 versus 5.9%, OR: 0.88, P < .0001) and ED utilizations compared to patients who did not have depression (3.2 versus 3.8%, OR: 0.87, P = .0001). Two-year PJI incidences (3.0 versus 1.3%, OR: 2.63, P < .0001) and TKA revisions (4.3 versus 2.1%, OR: 2.46, P < .0001) were greater in depression patients who were not screened preoperatively versus screened patients. Depression patients who had screening had lower PJIs (1.3 versus 1.8%, OR: 0.74, P < .0001) compared to nondepressed patients. Reimbursements ($13,949 versus $11,982; P < .0001) were higher in depression patients who did not have screening. CONCLUSIONS Preoperative screening was associated with improved outcomes in depression patients. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

A Qualitative Analysis of the Impact of Preoperative Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction on Total Knee Arthroplasty Surgical Experiences. Pain Manag Nurs 2024; 25:409-416. [PMID: 38697887 DOI: 10.1016/j.pmn.2024.04.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/12/2023] [Revised: 04/02/2024] [Accepted: 04/06/2024] [Indexed: 05/05/2024]
Abstract
We qualitatively explored the impact of preoperative mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) on total knee arthroplasty (TKA) experiences. Participants (n = 10) who received MBSR prior to TKA participated in semi-structured interviews concerning their experiences with MBSR and its perceived impact on surgery. We analyzed interviews according to reflexive thematic analysis, and coded data into three main themes: 1) Impact of MBSR on surgery experiences; 2) Contributors to change; and 3) Motivations for participation. Participants noted they were able to relax, feel more confident, and cope more effectively during the preoperative period, and that others in their lives noticed positive changes following their participation in MBSR. Participants' openness to mindfulness and health-related beliefs and may have contributed to the positive impacts they experienced from MBSR. Participants described being motivated to participate in MBSR to help them prepare for their surgery and to learn new coping strategies. Participants described a strong level of commitment to the intervention. With further research, integration of MBSR into prehabilitation for TKA may be appropriate.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine if the presence of a standing Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, psychiatric diagnosis is associated with worse outcomes for patients who develop a confirmed fracture-related infection (FRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS Included patients had open or closed fractures managed with internal fixation and had confirmed FRIs. Baseline demographics, injury information, and outcomes were collected via chart review. All patients who had a diagnosis of psychiatric illness, which included depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety disorder, and schizophrenia, were identified. Patients with and without a psychiatric diagnosis were statistically compared. RESULTS Two hundred eleven patients were diagnosed with a confirmed FRI. Fifty-seven (27.0%) patients had a diagnosis of a psychiatric illness at the time of FRI diagnosis. Patients with a psychiatric diagnosis had a higher rate of smoking (56% vs 40%, P=.039) and drug use (39% vs 19%, P=.004) and a higher American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) classification (2.35±1.33 vs 1.96±1.22, P=.038); however, there were no other demographic differences. Clinical outcomes also did not differ between the groups, as patients with an FRI and a psychiatric diagnosis had a similar time to FRI diagnosis, similar confirmatory FRI characteristics, and a similar rate of reoperation. Furthermore, there was no difference between patients with FRI with and without a psychiatric diagnosis regarding rate of infection resolution (89% vs 88%, P=.718) or time to final follow-up (20.13±24.93 vs 18.11±21.81 months, P=.270). CONCLUSION The presence of a psychiatric diagnosis does not affect clinical outcomes in the patient population with FRI. This is the first study exploring the impact of psychiatric illness on patient outcomes after a confirmed FRI diagnosis. [Orthopedics. 2024;47(4):198-204.].

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psychiatric comorbidities have been shown to influence outcomes of various orthopedic pathologies. This study aimed to compare rates of delayed scaphoid union and surgical intervention for fractures in patients with and without comorbid psychiatric diagnoses. METHODS A matched retrospective cohort study was performed using the PearlDiver database to determine the association of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia with delayed union rates within 3 and 6 months and rates of nonacute surgical intervention (fixation or grafting) within 6 and 12 months of scaphoid fracture. Analyses were completed using multivariate logistic regression. RESULTS Among 20 340 patients, a comorbid psychiatric diagnosis was associated with increased rates of delayed scaphoid union at 3 months (odds ratio [OR] = 1.29; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.14-1.45) and 6 months (OR = 1.23; 95% CI, 1.10-1.38). At 3 months, women with any psychiatric disorder (OR = 1.58; 1.29-1.66), depression (OR = 1.68; 1.31-2.17), and schizophrenia (OR = 5.32; 95% CI, 1.06-26.79) were more likely to experience delayed union, with similar results at 6 months. Men with bipolar disorder experienced increased delayed union rates at 6 months (OR = 1.40; 1.03-1.91). A comorbid psychiatric diagnosis (OR = 1.10; 1.01-1.20) was associated with increased rates of surgical intervention, whereas schizophrenia was associated with decreased rates (OR = 0.58; 0.34-0.99). CONCLUSION Patients with comorbid psychiatric conditions experienced increased rates of delayed scaphoid union. These results underscore the importance of understanding factors that may place patients at risk of impaired recovery.

The Effect of Spacer Treatment of Infected Hip and Knee Arthroplasties on Patients' Mental Health: A Narrative Review of the Literature. Healthcare (Basel) 2024; 12:790. [PMID: 38610212 PMCID: PMC11011799 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare12070790] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2024] [Revised: 04/01/2024] [Accepted: 04/03/2024] [Indexed: 04/14/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The gold standard treatment for periprosthetic joint infections is the two-stage revision that includes the spacer placement before definitive reimplantation. The management of PJI affects patients' joint function and, subsequently, their mental health. Even though significant advances have been achieved, little to no attention has been paid to the psychological implications. So, based on standardized patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), this study aimed to clarify the effect of spacer treatment of infected hip and knee arthroplasties on patients' mental health. METHODS We performed research on the literature on PJIs in the English language using the MEDLINE database with the search strings "spacer" OR "spacers" AND "hip" OR "knee" AND "SF-12" OR "SF-36" OR "EQ-5" OR "mental" OR "depression" OR "anxiety." The reference lists of selected articles were also hand-searched for any additional articles. RESULTS A total of 973 published papers were extracted, and 9 papers were finally included. A total of 384 patients who underwent spacer placement for PJI were identified. Of these 384 patients, 54% were female. The mean age ranged from 62 to 78.2 years. Of the11 papers identified for this review, 4 analyzed only hip spacers, including 119 patients; 4 only knee spacers, evaluating 153 patients; while a single study included 112 patients for both joints. CONCLUSIONS Patients with the spacer are living in a state of mental upset, albeit better than the preoperative state. Clinical improvement with the review is not assured. The alteration of mental state turns out not to be transient for all the patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to identify the rate and risk factors for revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA) within the first 5 years postoperative. Our secondary objective was to identify the rate of additional surgical procedures and death. METHODS We conducted a retrospective cohort study among patients in Ontario, Canada who underwent an elective, primary TKA between April 1, 2007, and March 31, 2014, for osteoarthritis. We excluded patients under 40 years and who had undergone a TKA within the previous 15 years. Our final study cohort included 94,193 patients. We reported the proportion of the study cohort who experienced revision surgery within 2 and 5 years of the primary TKA; secondary surgery within 5 years. We conducted Cochran-Armitage tests for trends to assess changes in the proportion of patients who experienced each of the study outcomes, and multivariable logistic regressions to evaluate predictors of a revision TKA. RESULTS There were 3,112 (3.3%) patients who had a revision within 5 years, and 1,866 (2.0%) within 2 years of their primary TKA. 3,316 (3.5%) had a secondary surgery (0.6% patellar resurfacing; 1.6% manipulation; 1.3% synovectomy; 0.5% washout; 0.9% debridement). Lower age, men, lower income, higher comorbidity score, depression, previous arthroscopy, lower surgeon volume, and general anesthesia were all significant positive predictors of revision. CONCLUSIONS In our study cohort, 2.0% of patients had a revision TKA within 2 years, and 3.3% within 5 years of their primary TKA. Preoperative identification of risk factors may reduce the future prevalence of revision TKAs.

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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The estimated prevalence of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) is 10-12% and in this study 12.4%. Different knee and hip injuries have been identified as risk factors for PTOA, but there is no consensus regarding the most painful and disabling injuries. Identifying these injuries might help in the prevention of PTOA. Additionally, patients with PTOA have a higher risk for complications after arthroplasty than patients with primary OA, perhaps due to differences in the profile and comorbidity that might help to explain the difference. This work aims 1) to identify the most common past injuries associated with the most painful and disabling PTOA cases in non-athlete patients and 2) to compare the comorbidities and characteristics between PTOA and primary OA. METHODS Retrospective hospital-based cohort study with 1290 participants with joint complaints or who received arthroplasty. Medical records included demographic information, diagnosis, medication, smoking, alcohol history and comorbidities. Data from January 2012 orthopaedic consults till December 2019 was reviewed and had the type and date of injury, pain score by the numerical rating scale and walking disability. Odds Ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals are presented. RESULTS There were 641 cases with primary OA (65% females) and 104 with PTOA (61% males). Patients with PTOA were 7.5 years younger (P < 0.001), reported more alcohol consumption (P = 0.01) and had higher odds of osteoporotic fractures (OP) and psychosis than patients with primary OA (OR = 2.0, CI = 1.06-3.78 and OR = 2.90, CI = -0.91-9.18, respectively). Knee fractures were most common in males and hip fractures in females (31% and 37.5%, respectively, P < 0.005). The PTOA-associated injuries with the highest pain and disability scores were meniscal injuries and hip fractures. Besides, in the group with primary OA, there were more diabetes, hypertension and hypothyroidism cases than in PTOA. However, after adjustment, differences were only significant for diabetes (ORadj = 1.78, CI = 1.0-3.2). CONCLUSIONS Past meniscal injuries and hip fractures were the most relevant PTOA-associated injuries regarding pain and walking disability. This, together with differences in their profile when compared with primary OA, might help to decide the orthopaedic management of these injuries to prevent complications such as PTOA and recurrence, with appropriate preoperative planning, surgery choice and comorbidity treatment.

Outcomes of total hip and knee arthroplasty in special populations: a synopsis and critical appraisal of systematic reviews. ARTHROPLASTY 2023; 5:34. [PMID: 37408050 DOI: 10.1186/s42836-023-00190-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2023] [Accepted: 04/23/2023] [Indexed: 07/07/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to present and critically appraise the best available evidence investigating associations between some pre-defined patient-related characteristics and perioperative complications or other outcomes in THA and TKA. METHODS Electronic databases were searched (Medline, EMBASE, Scopus, CENTRAL) for systematic reviews assessing the following pre-defined patient-related characteristics as possible risk factors for worse peri-operative outcomes in THA and TKA: smoking, alcohol excess, rheumatoid arthritis, human immunodeficiency virus infection, hepatitis C virus infection, mental health conditions, and solid organ transplantation. Our primary outcome was periprosthetic joint infection. Results were analysed separately for THA, TKA and THA/TKA (mixed data). RESULTS Based on at least two systematic reviews being in agreement, the following patient-related characteristics were associated with increased incidence of complications as follows: a) Smoking for all-cause revision in THA, for periprosthetic joint infection in TKA and THA/TKA; b) alcohol excess for periprosthetic joint infection in THA/TKA; c) human immunodeficiency virus for periprosthetic joint infection in THA/TKA; d) hepatitis C virus for overall complications, periprosthetic joint infection and all-cause revision in THA and THA/TKA, and for overall complications in TKA. Our study found conflicting evidence for a) smoking as a risk factor for periprosthetic joint infection and aseptic loosening in THA; b) human immunodeficiency virus as a risk factor for all-cause revision for THA/TKA; c) hepatitis C virus as a risk factor for periprosthetic joint infection and all-cause revision in TKA. No certainty of evidence was assigned to these results as this was not assessed by the authors of the majority of the included systematic reviews. CONCLUSION We found that smoking, excess alcohol consumption, RA, and infection with HIV and HCV were associated with a higher incidence of periprosthetic joint infection in one or both of THA and TKA or mixed THA/TKA data. All our results should be interpreted and communicated to patients with caution as the quality of the included systematic reviews was generally poor.

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

[PMID: 37270347 DOI: 10.1016/j.injury.2023.03.041] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/01/2023] [Revised: 03/31/2023] [Accepted: 03/31/2023] [Indexed: 06/05/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Open elbow arthrolysis (OEA) is an established treatment for posttraumatic elbow stiffness (PTES); however, its efficacy is debatable for some patients. Poor surgical outcomes have been associated with anxiety and depression in other orthopedic conditions, but no studies have examined this association in OEA. In this study, we aimed to determine whether a high preoperative anxiety and depression score is associated with a worse functional outcome in OEA for PTES. METHODS A retrospective review of prospectively collected data was carried out in patients undergoing OEA between April 2021 and March 2022. Mental state evaluated by Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), subjective elbow function valued by Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand (DASH) score, objective elbow function valued by Mayo Elbow Performance Score (MEPS), pain score measured by visual analog scale (VAS) and the flexion-extension range of motion (ROM) of the affected elbow were collected before and after surgery in outpatient clinic follow-up at 3 months and 6 months. Patient satisfaction was only recorded 6 months postoperatively. All patients were divided into 2 groups based on the preoperative HADS score for analysis: Group A was the nonanxiety-depression group, and Group B was the anxiety-depression group. RESULTS A total of 49 patients were included. Both groups improved in DASH, MEPS and ROM at 3 months and at 6 months. The HADS score in Group B decreased significantly at 6 months, showing that the mental state of patients in Group B improved after surgery. Group A had a lower DASH at 3 months and 6 months, larger 6-month ROM and higher satisfaction rate than Group B. Comparing the differences between preoperative and postoperative measurements, Group A improved more in ROM at 6 months. There was no significant difference in other outcome measures between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS OEA is a safe and effective treatment for PTES, and can achieve good clinical outcomes in the short-term follow-up, regardless of whether the patients suffer from anxiety or depression. Patients with a HADS score ≥11 before OEA, however, have worse outcomes than those with a HADS score <11. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II; Retrospective Design; Prognosis Study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Infection following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains a challenging clinical problem. Using American Joint Replacement Registry (AJRR) data, this study examined factors related to the incidence and timing of infection. METHODS Primary TKAs performed from January 2012 through December 2018 among patients ≥65 years of age at surgery were queried from AJRR and merged with Medicare data to enhance capture of revisions for infection. Multivariate Cox regressions incorporating patient, surgical, and institutional factors were used to produce hazard ratios (HR) associated with revision for infection and mortality after revision for infection. RESULTS Among 525,887 TKAs, 2,821 (0.54%) were revised for infection. Men had an increased risk of revision for infection at all time intervals (≤90 days, HR=2.06, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.75-2.43, P<0.0001; >90 days to 1 year, HR=1.90, 95% CI: 1.58-2.28, P<0.0001; >1 year, HR=1.57, 95% CI: 1.37-1.79, P<0.0001). TKAs performed for osteoarthritis had an increased risk of revision for infection at ≤90 days (HR=2.01, 95% CI: 1.45-2.78, P<0.0001), but not at later times. Mortality was more likely among patients who had a Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI)≥5 compared to those who had a CCI≤2 (HR=3.21, 95% CI: 1.35-7.63, P=0.008). Mortality was also more likely among older patients (HR=1.61 for each decade, 95% CI: 1.04-2.49, P=0.03). CONCLUSION Based on primary TKAs performed in the United States, men were found to have a persistently higher risk of revision for infection, while a diagnosis of osteoarthritis was associated with a significantly higher risk only during the first 90 days after surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship of chronic periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) treatment on the development and relapse of mood disorders remains largely unreported. This study aims to compare the incidence of different mental health disorders following antibiotic spacer placement for chronic PJI when compared to aseptic revisions and primary procedures. METHODS Patients who underwent antibiotic spacer for septic total hip and knee arthroplasty (PJI THA/TKA) were identified in the PearlDiver Database using Current Procedure Terminology (CPT) codes for hip and knee antibiotic spacers. Patients who underwent aseptic revision and primary-THA/TKA were also identified using CPT codes. The incidences of depressive, anxiety, bipolar, psychotic, and stress disorders were identified within 2 years following the index procedures via Kaplan-Meier Analysis. RESULTS The risk of depressive (hazard ratio (HR): 1.5; P < .001) and stress (HR: 1.5; P < .001) disorders were significantly higher in those who underwent PJI-THA when compared to aseptic revision, with the added risk of bipolar when compared to primary THA. The risk of depressive (HR: 1.6; P < .001), stress (HR: 1.4; P < .001), bipolar (HR: 1.3; P < .001), and psychotic disorders (HR: 1.5; P = .003) were significantly higher in those who underwent PJI-TKA when compared to aseptic revision, with the added risk of anxiety when compared to primary TKA. CONCLUSION Patients who undergo spacer placement for septic-THA/TKA have a disproportionately higher incidence of mental health disorders within 2 years following surgery when compared those undergoing aseptic revisions and primary procedures. Due to this higher risk, physicians should strongly consider collaborative care with psychiatrists or mental health professionals. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: For some years, psychiatric illness has been a major factor in evaluating the results of total knee arthroplasty. As with other patient-related items, patients diagnosed with mental illness have higher costs of medical treatment, longer recovery, and longer hospital stays. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the role of mental diseases on the surgical outcome compared with the normal population. Materials and Methods: At our hospital, we undertook a retrospective study between June 2020 and January 2022. The experimental group consisted of patients with mental diseases including schizophrenia, bipolar disease, depression, substance uses, or other psychiatric disorders. The control group consisted of patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty and did not have a mental disease. Postoperative complications and length of stay were also recorded during the study. We used the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and the Knee Society Score (KSS) as outcome measures. Results: Between June 2020 and January 2022, a total of 634 patients underwent total knee arthroplasty in our clinic, of which 239 had a mental disease. The majority of patients were female (61%), and the average length of stay was significantly longer for patients with mental illness (6.8 vs. 2.8 days). Preoperative WOMAC and KS function scores demonstrated statistically significant differences between groups (67.83 ± 17.8 vs. 62.75 ± 15.7 and 29.31 ± 19.8 vs. 34.98 ± 21.3). KS knee score did not show any significant differences preoperatively. All postoperative functional scores showed significantly better results for the control group compared to the mental illness group. Conclusions: Mental illness appears to be linked with lower TKA scores before and after the surgical procedure.

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

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) following total knee arthroplasty remains a challenging clinical problem. This study examined variables related to the incidence and timing of PJI. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 8462 primary total knee arthroplasties performed at our institution between 2006 and 2018 for PJI. The mean follow-up is 3.7 years. Eighty-seven variables including patient-reported diagnoses, demographics, and medications were collected. Time to infection, bacterial organism, success of infection treatment, and variables associated with infection are reported. RESULTS PJI occurred in 105 (1.24%) cases. The incidence of infection in the first year was 0.72% and represented 58% of all infections. Multivariate Cox regression revealed males (hazard ratio [HR] = 2.85, 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.69-4.79) and patients with major depression or anxiety (HR = 2.11, 95% CI, 1.21-3.67) were more likely to develop an infection in the first year. After the first year, patients with a history of cellulitis (HR = 3.97, 95% CI, 1.91-8.27) and those taking antiepileptic medications (HR = 3.61, 95% CI, 1.73-7.52) were more likely to develop an infection. Culture-negative infections were more common after one year than before (23% vs 8%, P = .04). Debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention was used in 79% (48/61) of infections in the first year and 55% (24/44) after one year with success rates of 51% and 70%, respectively (P = .16). CONCLUSION The majority of infections occur during the first year after surgery. Importantly, patient variables associated with infection are different among infections that occur before and after one year. A multicenter study with a much larger number of infections may allow analysis of more time intervals after surgery.

BackgroundThe growing number of patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) and postoperative outcomes receive increasing attention from doctors and patients. This study aimed to elucidate the effects of comorbidities on postoperative function, pain, complications, readmission rate, and mortality.MethodsWe included consecutive patients who underwent primary unilateral THA between 2017 and 2019. The Charlson comorbidity index (CCI) and the WOMAC and SF-36 (physical function, body pain) scales were assessed preoperatively and at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months postoperatively. The complications, 30-day readmission, and mortality rates assessed the impact of comorbidities and their changes over time on the WOMAC and SF-36 scores during follow-up. We used mixed model linear regression to examine the association of worsening comorbidity post-THA with change in WOMAC and SF-36 scores in the subsequent follow-up periods, controlling for age, length of follow-up, and repeated observations.ResultsThis study included 468 patients, divided into four groups based on comorbidity burden (CCI-0, 1, 2, and ≥3). The physiological function recovery and pain scores in the CCI ≥ 3 group were inferior to the other groups and took longer than the other groups (6 vs. 3 months) to reach their best level. The four groups preoperative waiting times were 2.41 ± 0.74, 2.97 ± 0.65, 3.80 ± 0.53, and 5.01 ± 0.71 days, respectively. The complications, 30-day readmission, and 1-year mortality rates for the overall and the CCI ≥ 3 group were 1.92% and 4.69%, 0.85% and 2.01%, and 0.43% and 1.34%, respectively, with no mortality in the other groups.ConclusionPatients with higher CCI were more susceptible to physical function and pain outcome deterioration, experienced longer waiting time before surgery, took longer to recover, and had higher rates of complications, 30-day readmission, and mortality after THA. Older age in the group led to a greater impact.

Do In-Hospital Rothman Index Scores Predict Postdischarge Adverse Events and Discharge Location After Total Knee Arthroplasty? J Arthroplasty 2022; 37:668-673. [PMID: 34954019 PMCID: PMC8934277 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2021.12.022] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2021] [Revised: 09/22/2021] [Accepted: 12/15/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND There have been efforts to reduce adverse events and unplanned readmissions after total joint arthroplasty. The Rothman Index (RI) is a real-time, composite measure of medical acuity for hospitalized patients. We aimed to examine the association among in-hospital RI scores and complications, readmissions, and discharge location after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We hypothesized that RI scores could be used to predict the outcomes of interest. METHODS This is a retrospective study of an institutional database of elective, primary TKA from July 2018 until December 2019. Complications and readmissions were defined per Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Analysis included multivariate regression, computation of the area under the curve (AUC), and the Youden Index to set RI thresholds. RESULTS The study cohort's (n = 957) complications (2.4%), readmissions (3.6%), and nonhome discharge (13.7%) were reported. All RI metrics (minimum, maximum, last, mean, range, 25th%, and 75th%) were significantly associated with increased odds of readmission and home discharge (all P < .05). RI scores were not significantly associated with complications. The optimal RI thresholds for increased risk of readmission were last ≤ 71 (AUC = 0.65), mean ≤ 67 (AUC = 0.66), or maximum ≤ 80 (AUC = 0.63). The optimal RI thresholds for increased risk of home discharge were minimum ≥ 53 (AUC = 0.65), mean ≥ 69 (AUC = 0.65), or maximum ≥ 81 (AUC = 0.60). CONCLUSION RI values may be used to predict readmission or home discharge after TKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to compare functional outcomes and perioperative complications between patients on a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) and those who are not on an SSRI preoperatively at the time of total joint arthroplasty. METHODS A retrospective study was performed on 28,386 patients who received a primary total hip (THA) or knee (TKA) arthroplasty. Patients were compared based on SSRI utilization. We measured patient-reported function and health-related quality of life using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC) and the EuroQol-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D-5L) instruments. Chi-squared test was used to compare categorical variables and t-test was used to compare the continuous variables of 2 study groups. RESULTS Patients on SSRIs have lower preoperative baseline WOMAC and EQ-5D-5L scores than those not using SSRI (P < .001). Patient-reported outcomes improved significantly following surgery, but functional outcome scores remained inferior in patients using SSRI. After adjusting for baseline variables, SSRI use in TKA predicted lower EQ-5D-5L scores than non-SSRI users (P = .036) while the WOMAC scores were not different (P = .118). For the THA cohort, SSRI use predicted lower EQ-5D-5L (P = .001) and WOMAC scores than non-SSRI users (P = .008). SSRI use was associated with increased transfusion rate, length of stay, readmission rate, and medical events. About 11.3% of TKA and 13.3% of THA patients stopped using SSRI at 12 months after arthroplasty. CONCLUSION Patients using an SSRI show improvement comparable to patients not on an SSRI, but their 12-month functional scores continue to be inferior. SSRI utilization was associated with increased adverse events including needing a blood transfusion.

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 Postoperative new-onset depression (NOD) has gained recent attention as a previously unrecognized complication which may put patients at risk for poor outcomes after elective total hip arthroplasty. We aimed to investigate risk factors for the development of NOD after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and assess its association with postoperative complications. METHODS This is a retrospective, population-level investigation of elective TKA patients. Patients with a preoperative diagnosis of depression were excluded from this study. Two groups were compared: patients who were diagnosed with depression within one year after TKA (NOD) and those who did not (control). The association of both preoperative patient factors and postoperative surgical and medical complications with NOD was then determined using multivariate and univariate analyses. RESULTS Of 196,728 unique TKA patients in our cohort, 5351 (2.72%) were diagnosed with NOD within one year of TKA. Age <54 year old, female gender, preoperative anxiety disorder, drug, alcohol, and/or tobacco use, multiple comorbidities, and opioid use before TKA were all associated with a diagnosis of NOD postoperatively (all P < .001). Postoperative NOD was associated with periprosthetic fracture (OR 2.11; 95% CI 1.29-3.52; P = .033), aseptic failure (OR 1.61; 95% CI 1.24-2.07; P = .020), prosthetic joint infection (OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.30-1.85; P < .001), stroke (OR 1.24; 95% CI 1.09-1.42; P = .006), and venous thromboembolism (OR 1.24; 95% CI 1.12-1.37; P < .001). CONCLUSION Post-TKA NOD is common and is associated with poor outcomes. This may aid surgeons in developing both anticipatory measures and institute preventative measures for patients at risk for developing NOD.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Studies have shown that antipsychotic medication use may lead to venous thromboembolisms (VTEs); however, this association has not been demonstrated in patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether patients taking antipsychotic medications at the time of their primary TKA have higher rates of in-hospital lengths of stay (LOS), VTEs, and costs of care. METHODS Patients taking antipsychotic medications were identified and matched to a cohort in a 1:5 ratio by age, sex, and medical comorbidities. Patients who had a history of VTEs or hypercoagulable states before their TKA were excluded. The query resulted in 439,579 patients within the study (n = 73,285) and matching cohorts (n = 366,294). Outcomes analyzed included rates of in-hospital LOS, VTEs, and costs of care. A P value less than 0.01 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS We found statistically significant longer in-hospital LOS for patients taking antipsychotic medications (3.27 versus 3.02 days, P < 0.0001). Study patients were also found to have a higher incidence and odds ratio of VTEs (2.37 versus 1.04%; odds ratio: 1.86, 95% confidence interval: 1.75-1.97, P < 0.0001). Ninety-day costs of care were also significantly higher in the study cohort ($17,332.70 versus $15,975.00, P < 0.0001). CONCLUSION After adjusting for confounders, patients taking antipsychotic medication were found to have higher rates of in-hospital LOS, VTEs, and costs of care. The study can be used by orthopaedic surgeons to counsel patients taking these medications concerning the potential complications after their procedure.

Abstract
Background Prior studies have demonstrated that depression is an independent risk factor for developing a prosthetic joint infection (PJI) after total joint arthroplasty (TJA). To our knowledge, there is no literature examining whether PJI or aseptic failure increases the risk of developing a new mental health diagnosis. Methods PearlDiver Patient Database (Colorado Springs, CO) was used to identify 80,826 patients who underwent TJA without a pre-existing diagnosis of depression, anxiety, a stress and/or adjustment disorder, and/or current use of a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor within the year prior to surgery. The odds of developing a new mental health issue or being prescribed a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor within 1 year of an uncomplicated TJA was compared to those who developed PJI or mechanical failure within 90 days after TJA as well as to those who subsequently underwent revision surgery within 30 days of either complication using Fisher’s exact test and Baptista-Pike. Results A total of 6474 (8%) patients were diagnosed with a new mental health issue after TJA. PJI or mechanical failure led to significantly higher odds of new diagnoses with an odds ratio of 1.67 (95% confidence interval = 1.26, 2.22) and 1.57 (1.24, 2.00), respectively. Undergoing revision surgery for PJI or mechanical failure increased the odds of developing a new mental health diagnosis to 2.10 (1.29, 3.42) and 2.24 (1.36, 3.72), respectively. There was no significant difference comparing those who developed PJI vs those who sustained mechanical complications. Conclusion Patients who sustain complications after TJA are at increased odds of receiving a new mental health diagnosis, an effect further amplified if revision surgery is required.

Abstract
Introduction: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of major psychiatric illness on patient outcomes after total joint arthroplasty. Methods: Patients with a diagnosis of a major psychiatric disorder undergoing total joint arthroplasty were retrospectively matched one-to-one with a cohort without such a diagnosis. Major psychiatric disorder in the registry was identified by diagnosis of anxiety, mood, or a psychotic disorder. Primary outcome of interest included perioperative Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). Secondary outcomes included EuroQol-5D, adverse events, length of stay, 30-day readmission, and discharge destination. Results: Total number of patients were 1828. The total hip arthroplasty (37.80 ± 17.91, p = 0.023) and the total knee arthroplasty psychiatric group (43.38 ± 18.41, p = 0.050) had significantly lower pre-operative WOMAC scores. At 3 months, the total hip arthroplasty (76.74 ± 16.94, p = 0.036) and total knee arthroplasty psychiatric group (71.09 ± 18.64, p < 0.01) again had significantly lower 3-month post-operative WOMAC score compared to the control groups. However, outcomes at 1 year were difficult to interpret, as patients with major psychiatric conditions had an extremely high loss to follow-up. Compared to the control groups, the total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty psychiatric group had an increased length of stay by 1.43 days (p < 0.01) and 0.77 days, respectively (p = 0.05). Similarly, the psychiatric groups were discharged directly home less often (total hip arthroplasty 86.9%, p = 0.024 and total knee arthroplasty 87.6%, p = 0.022) than the control groups. Conclusion: Patients with the diagnosis of a major psychiatric illness have an increased length of stay and are more likely to require a rehabilitation facility, compared to the control groups. Arguably, of utmost importance, there is a very high rate of loss to follow-up within the psychiatric groups. As such, we recommend these patients should be treated for their diagnosis prior to total joint arthroplasty. Furthermore, importance of clinical follow-up should be emphasized carefully.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The overall satisfaction of patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is approximately 80%, and current studies have demonstrated that patients with depression may have lower patient satisfaction. The purpose of this study was to determine whether perioperative psychological intervention in patients with depression improves the clinical outcomes and patient satisfaction in patients undergoing TKA. METHODS Six hundred patients who underwent primary TKA from May 2016 to January 2018 were prospectively screened for eligibility. A preoperative psychological evaluation was conducted by a psychiatrist to evaluate each patient's psychological status. Patients who were diagnosed with depression were randomly divided into 2 groups: the intervention group (patients received psychological interventions that were administered by a psychiatrist at the first visit before surgery and from then on) and the control group (patients received routine TKA care without psychological interventions). The primary outcome was patient satisfaction at 6 months postoperatively. The secondary outcomes were patient satisfaction at 2 years postoperatively as well as the Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) scores, the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) scores, and range of motion at 6 months and 2 years postoperatively. RESULTS Fifty-three patients with depression were identified. Fifty-one patients were enrolled in the randomized controlled trial. Two patients were lost to follow-up at 6 months after surgery. Therefore, 49 patients (25 in the intervention group and 24 in the control group) remained in the final analysis. At 6 months postoperatively, statistical differences in patient satisfaction were identified between the 2 groups (88.0% in the intervention group compared with 62.5% in the control group; odds ratio = 4.40; 95% confidence interval, 1.02 to 18.99). There was a significant improvement in the Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS) score (the reduction rate was 51.97% in the intervention group compared with 17.35% in the control group) and the Symptom Checklist 90 Revised (SCL-90-R) subscore for depression (the reduction rate was 44.66% in the intervention group compared with 15.73% in the control group). The clinical outcomes, including the WOMAC scores, the HSS scores, and maximal range of motion, in the intervention group had improved significantly more compared with those in the control group. CONCLUSIONS Psychological interventions during the perioperative period can improve patient satisfaction in patients with depression who undergo TKA.

J Arthroplasty 2021; 36:1120-1125. [PMID: 33127239 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2020.10.009] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/17/2020] [Revised: 09/29/2020] [Accepted: 10/09/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
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
Aims To explore the effectiveness of a new perioperative practice model on anxiety and health‐related quality of life in patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty under spinal anaesthesia. Design A randomized clinical trial. Methods Control group participants (N = 222) received standard perioperative care, meaning they were cared for by various nurses during their perioperative process without postoperative visits. Intervention group participants (N = 231) were assigned one named anaesthesia nurse during their entire perioperative process who visited them postoperatively. Both groups responded to two self‐reported questionnaires: the generic 15D health‐related quality of life instrument and the State‐Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) measuring anxiety two to three weeks pre‐operatively and three months postoperatively. Results There were no statistically significant differences between the groups at baseline or at follow‐up in health‐related quality of life or anxiety.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the prevalence of preoperatively diagnosed psychiatric comorbidities and the impact of these comorbidities on the healthcare costs of ten common orthopaedic sports medicine procedures. METHODS Patients undergoing 10 common sports medicine procedures from 2007 to 2017q1 were identified using the Humana claims database. These procedures included anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction; posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction; medial collateral ligament repair/reconstruction; Achilles repair/reconstruction; Rotator cuff repair; meniscectomy/meniscus repair; hip arthroscopy; arthroscopic shoulder labral repair; patellofemoral instability procedures; and shoulder instability repair. Patients were stratified by preoperative diagnoses of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia. Cohorts included patients with ≥1 psychiatric comorbidity (psychiatric) versus those without psychiatric comorbidities (no psychiatric). Differences in costs across groups were compared using Mann-Whitney U tests, with significance defined as P < .05. Linear regression analysis was used to assess rates of procedures per year from 2006 to 2016. RESULTS In total, 226,402 patients (57.7% male) from 2007 to 2017q1 were assessed. The prevalence of ≥1 psychiatric comorbidity within the entire database was 10.31% (reference) versus 21.21% in those patients undergoing the 10 investigated procedures. Patients with psychiatric comorbidity most frequently underwent rotator cuff repair (28%), hip labral repair (26.3%) and meniscectomy/meniscus repair (25.0%%) had ≥1 psychiatric comorbidity. Compared with the no psychiatric cohort, diagnosis of ≥1 psychiatric comorbidity was associated with increased health care costs for all 10 sports medicine procedures ($9678.81 vs $6436.20, P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of preoperatively diagnosed psychiatric comorbidities among patients undergoing orthopaedic sports medicine procedures is high. The presence of psychiatric comorbidities preoperatively was associated with increased postoperative costs following all investigated orthopaedic sports medicine procedures.

J Shoulder Elbow Surg 2021; 30:89-96. [PMID: 33317706 DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2020.04.015] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 8.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/22/2020] [Revised: 03/29/2020] [Accepted: 04/01/2020] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
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. [PMID: 32553794 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2020.05.021] [Citation(s) in RCA: 26] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/09/2020] [Revised: 05/06/2020] [Accepted: 05/08/2020] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
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
Background The impact of comorbidity on the risk of revision in patients undergoing Total Knee arthroplasty (TKA) and Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) is not currently well known. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of comorbidity on the risk of revision in TKA and THA. Methods Patients recorded in the Catalan Arthroplasty Register (RACat) between 01/01/2005 and 31/12/2016 undergoing TKA (n = 49,701) and THA (n = 17,923) caused by osteoarthritis were included. As main explanatory factors, comorbidity burden was assessed by the Elixhauser index, categorized, and specific comorbidities from the index were taken into account. Descriptive analyses for comorbidity burden and specific conditions were done. Additionally, incidence at 1 and 5 years’ follow-up was calculated, and adjusted Competing Risks models were fitted. Results A higher incidence of revision was observed when the number of comorbidities was high, both at 1 and 5 years for THA, but only at 1 year for TKA. Of the specific conditions, only obesity was related to the incidence of revision at 1 year in both joints, and at 5 years in TKA. The risk of revision was related to deficiency anemia and liver diseases in TKA, while in THA, it was related to peripheral vascular disorders, metastatic cancer and psychoses. Conclusions Different conditions, depending on the joint, might be related to higher revision rates. This information could be relevant for clinical decision-making, patient-specific information and improving the results of both TKA and THA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Substance abuse disorder (SUD), alcohol abuse disorder (AUD), and depression have been identified as independent risk factors for complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, these mental health disorders are highly co-associated, and their cumulative effect on postoperative complications have not been investigated. Therefore, this study aimed to determine if patients who have more than one mental health disorder (SUD, AUD, or depression) were at an increased risk for postoperative complications following TKA. METHODS A total of 11,403 TKA patients were identified from a prospectively collected institutional database between January 1, 2017 and April 1, 2019. Patients who had depression, SUD, and AUD were separated into 7 mental health subgroups including each of these diagnoses alone and their combined permeations. Patient demographics, body mass indices, medical comorbidities, and 15 postoperative complications were collected. Univariate analyses were performed using independent Student's t-tests. Multivariate analyses were then performed to identify odds ratios (ORs) for mental health disorders subgroups associated with complications. RESULTS We found a total of 2073 (18%) patients diagnosed with either SUD (4%), AUD (0.6%), or depression (12%). Univariate analyses showed that depression was associated with mechanical failures (P < .001). SUD was associated with periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) (P < .001), wound complications (P = .022), and aseptic loosening (P = .007). AUD was associated with PJI (P < .001) and deep vein thromboses (P = .003). Multivariate analyses found that AUD (OR: 19.419, P < .001) and SUD (OR:3.693, P = .010) were independent risk factors for PJI. Compared with SUD alone, patients with depression plus SUD were found to have a 4-fold (OR: 13.639, P < .001) and 2-fold (OR:4.401, P = .021) increased risk for PJI and cellulitis, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Patients who had depression, SUD, or AUD were at increased risk for postoperative complications following primary TKA. When patients have more than one mental health diagnosis, their risk for complications was amplified. The results of this study can help identify those patients who are at greater risk of postoperative complications to enable improved preoperative optimization and patient education.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective analysis. OBJECTIVE Analysis of a standardized, pre-surgical psychological evaluation program for complex spine surgery. Adult spinal deformity (ASD) patients have a high rate of comorbid mental health conditions. Although there is a body of literature demonstrating the impact of psychological factors, including anxiety and depression, on spine surgery outcome, it is estimated that spine surgeons utilize a psychological assessment only about one third of the time prior to a patient's spine surgery. At this time, there is not a widely reported pre-surgical psychological evaluation program for ASD patients. METHODS 129 consecutive complex spine surgery candidates receiving a pre-surgical psychological evaluation were analyzed between January 1st 2014 and December 31st 2018. Based on the available literature and professional experience in our facility, a color code for patients was developed from Green (low psychological or psychosocial co-morbidity) to Red (high psychological or psychosocial co-morbidity). Univariate analysis was used to evaluate between color grades and demographics, mental health disorders and outcomes. RESULTS 83% of complex spine patients had at least one psychological disorder or psychosocial barrier. Only 17% had a combination of realistic expectations for surgery, a good support plan, and were without a history of mental illness. The pre-surgical psychological color criteria were validated in showing higher rates of major depression, anxiety disorder, and bipolar disorder in moderate to severe color grades (p < .001) in addition to higher PHQ-9 and GAD-7 scores (p < .001). Patients having a more severe color grade had lower rates of a discharge home and were taking higher morphine equivalent dosages (MEDs) at their six-month follow-up, though both did not reach statistical significance (p = .07 and p = .08; respectively). CONCLUSION A comprehensive pre-surgical psychological evaluation may be beneficial to risk stratify and counsel patients being evaluated for surgical reconstruction of adult spinal deformities.

[PMID: 31902616 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2019.12.011] [Citation(s) in RCA: 23] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2019] [Revised: 11/23/2019] [Accepted: 12/09/2019] [Indexed: 02/01/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies evaluating the effects of depressive disorders in patients undergoing primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are sparse. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to investigate whether patients who have depressive disorders undergoing primary TKA have higher rates of (1) in-hospital lengths of stay (LOS), (2) readmission rates, (3) medical complications, (4) implant-related complications, and (5) costs of care. METHODS Patients with depressive disorders undergoing primary TKA were identified and matched to controls in a 1:5 ratio by age, sex, and comorbidities. The query yielded 138,076 patients who had (n = 23,061) or did not have (n = 115,015) depressive disorders. Primary outcomes analyzed included in-hospital LOS, 90-day readmission rates, 90-day medical complications, 2-year implant-related complications, and costs of care. A P value less than .003 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Patients who have depressive disorders had significantly longer in-hospital LOS (6.2 days vs 3.1 days; P < .0001). Additionally, study group patients had a higher incidence and odds of readmissions (15.5% vs 12.1%; odds ratio [OR], 1.33; P < 001), medical complications (5.0% vs 1.6%; OR, 3.34; P < .0001), and implant-related complications (3.3% vs 1.7%; OR; 1.97; P < .0001) Study group patients also incurred significantly higher day of surgery ($12,356.59 vs $10,487.71; P < .0001) and 90-day costs ($23,386.17 vs $22,201.43; P < .0001). CONCLUSION After adjusting for age, sex, and comorbidities, this study demonstrated that patients who have depressive disorders have increased rates of in-hospital LOS, readmissions, complications, and cost. The study is useful in allowing orthopedists to adequately educate patients of potential complications which may occur.

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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The influence of schizophrenia on total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is limited in the literature. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate whether patients with schizophrenia undergoing primary TKA have (1) longer in-hospital length of stay (LOS); (2) higher readmission rates; (3) higher medical complications; (4) higher implant-related complications; and (5) higher costs of care compared to controls. METHODS Patients with schizophrenia undergoing primary TKA were identified within the Medicare claims database. The study group was randomly matched in a 1:5 ratio to controls according to age, sex, and medical comorbidities. The query yielded 49,176 patients with (n = 8,196) and without (n = 40,980) schizophrenia undergoing primary TKA. Primary outcomes analyzed included in-hospital LOS, 90-day readmission rates, 90-day medical complications, 2-year implant-related complications, in addition to day of surgery and 90-day costs of care. A P-value less than .01 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS Schizophrenia patients had longer in-hospital LOS (3.73 days vs 3.22 days, P < .0001) and had higher incidence and odds ratios (ORs) of readmission rates (18.26 vs 12.07%; OR: 1.58, P < .0001) compared to controls. Schizophrenia patients had higher incidence and odds of medical (3.23 vs 1.10%; OR: 2.99, P < .0001) and implant-related complications (5.92 vs 3.59%; OR: 1.68, P < .0001) and incurred significantly higher day of surgery ($13,300.58 vs $11,681.77, P < .0001) and 90-day costs of care ($18,222.18 vs $14,845.64, P < .0001). CONCLUSION This study demonstrates that patients with schizophrenia have longer in-hospital LOS, higher readmission rates, higher complications, and increased costs of care after primary TKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The number of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedures performed in the United States has been increasing. Increased complication rates have been demonstrated in patients with post-traumatic arthritis (PTA) undergoing TKA. However, there remains limited data directly comparing outcomes of TKA performed for osteoarthritis (OA) and PTA. METHODS The National Inpatient Sample was utilized to identify patients undergoing elective TKA between 2006 and 2015 for OA and PTA. The prevalence of preoperative comorbidities and the incidence of postoperative complications including superficial wound infection, deep joint infection, acute deep venous thrombosis, and pulmonary embolus were analyzed. RESULTS Between 2006 and 2015, the National Inpatient Sample database accounted for 1,301,394 patients diagnosed with either PTA (14,206) or OA (1,287,188) undergoing TKA. The incidence of superficial wound infection, deep joint infection, and acute deep venous thrombosis was found to occur at a higher rate in patients with a diagnosis of PTA compared to OA. The incidence of pulmonary embolus was not found to be statistically different between the 2 groups. Patients with PTA had a higher prevalence of drug and alcohol abuse, psychosis, and liver disease, whereas patients with OA had a higher prevalence of obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and lung disease. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates an increased risk of complications in patients undergoing TKA for PTA compared to OA. Surgeons can use this information to help aid in counseling patients preoperatively. Furthermore, these data provide objective evidence that could have implications with regards to establishing bundled payment reimbursement in this patient population.

Abstract
Background Total knee arthroplasty is a common procedure with generally good results. However, there are still patients who are dissatisfied without known explanation. Satisfaction and dissatisfaction have previously been captured by quantitative designs, but there is a lack of qualitative studies regarding these patients’ experiences. Qualitative knowledge might be useful in creating strategies to decrease the dissatisfaction rate. Methods Of the 348 patients who responded to a letter asking if they were satisfied or dissatisfied with their surgery, 61 (18%) reported discontent. After excluding patients with documented complications and those who declined to participate, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 44 patients. The interviews were analyzed according to qualitative content analysis. The purpose was to describe patients’ experiences of discontentment 1 year after total knee arthroplasty. Results The patients experienced unfulfilled expectations and needs regarding unresolved and new problems, limited independence, and lacking of relational supports. They were bothered by pain and stiffness, and worried that changes were complications as a result of surgery. They described inability to perform daily activities and valued activities. They also felt a lack of relational supports, and a lack of respect and continuity, support from health care, and information adapted to their needs. Conclusion Patient expectation seems to be the major contributing factor in patient discontentment after knee replacement surgery. This qualitative study sheds light on the on the meaning of unfulfilled expectations, in contrast to previous quantitative studies. The elements of unfulfilled expectations need to be dealt with both on the individual staff level and on the organizational level. For instance, increased continuity of healthcare staff and facilities may help to improve patient satisfaction after surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) have been shown in both orthopedic and general surgery literature to be associated with an increased risk of blood loss, and this is thought to occur via diminished platelet serotonin reuptake and subsequent decline in platelet aggregation potential. In this study, we aim at quantifying the effect of treatment with SSRIs on blood loss and transfusion rates following total hip (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS THA (4485) and TKA (5584) cases from January 2013 to December 2017 at the investigating institution were queried and analyzed separately from an institutional database. Patients were stratified by utilization of an SSRI at the time of surgery. Patient demographics, baseline coagulopathy, preoperative and postoperative hemoglobin, transfusion, and length of stay were obtained to compare the 2 cohorts. RESULTS The transfusion rate for SSRI users was 3.9% in the TKA group and 8.5% in the THA group. After controlling for age, gender, body mass index, presence of coagulopathy, procedure (THA vs TKA), and SSRI status, SSRI utilization was significantly associated with increased blood loss (P < .004), and logistic regression controlling for the same variables showed SSRI utilization to be predictive of transfusion (odds ratio, 1.476; P < .001). CONCLUSION SSRI utilization was associated with increased perioperative blood loss and predictive of transfusion risk, particularly with THA. This represents an important factor that may be modified in the setting of total joint arthroplasty but further work will be necessary to study potential alternative medications for depression in the perioperative phase.

Abstract
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a valuable treatment option for advanced osteoarthritis in patients unresponsive to conservative treatments. Despite overall satisfactory results, the rate of unsatisfied patients after TKA remains high, ranging from 5 to 40%. Different modifiable and nonmodifiable prognostic factors associated with TKA outcomes have been described. The correction, whenever possible, of modifiable factors is fundamental in preoperative patients' optimization protocols. Nonmodifiable factors can help in predicting the outcomes and creating the right expectations in the patients undergoing TKA. The goal of this review is to summarize the modifiable and nonmodifiable prognostic factors associated with TKA outcomes.

Abstract
Background Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a successful and common procedure. However, 6–28% of patients are dissatisfied postoperatively. The provision of preoperative patient information, inquiring about patients’ expectations, and taking a psychiatric history are essential parts of both preoperative evaluation and postoperative outcome. The aim of this study was to investigate how orthopaedic knee surgeons in Sweden inform their patients before surgery. Methods A questionnaire was distributed to all knee surgeons performing TKA in Sweden. Responses were received from 60 of the 65 orthopaedic departments performing TKA in Sweden (92%), covering 219 of the approximately 311 knee surgeons at the 65 departments (70%). The answers were analysed with descriptive statistics. A content analysis of the surgeons’ opinions was also performed using a thematic method. Results In terms of information provision, 58% of the surgeons always gave written information while 92% informed orally. Only 44% always asked about the patient’s expectations, and only 42% always informed patients about the 20% dissatisfaction rate after TKA. Additionally, 24% never operated on mild indication of arthrosis, 20% always took a psychiatric history, and half never or seldom consulted a psychiatrist. However, all the knee surgeons believed in a psychiatric impact on TKA outcome. Qualitative analysis revealed five common causes of patient dissatisfaction, which in descending frequency were: patients’ expectations, choice of patients to operate on, surgical factors, combinations of factors, and insufficient information provision to patients. Conclusions Knee surgeons in Sweden have considerable awareness of the importance of preoperative patient information, the impact of patient expectations, and psychiatric illness. However, they need to improve their preoperative routines when it comes to providing written information, asking about the patient’s expectations, and psychiatric assessment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have evaluated the impact of preoperative opioid use on risk of subsequent revision following primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The purpose of this study was to determine whether preoperative opioid use is associated with an increased risk of early revision TKA. METHODS The Humana administrative claims database was queried to identify patients who underwent unilateral TKA during the years 2007-2015. Patients were tracked for the occurrence of an ipsilateral revision procedure within 2 years. Preoperative opioid use was defined as having an opioid prescription filled within the 3 months before TKA. Age, sex, diabetes, obesity, chronic kidney disease, and anxiety/depression were also analyzed. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed. RESULTS A total of 35,894 primary TKA patients were identified and 1.2% (n = 413) had a revision TKA procedure within 2 years. 29.2% of patients filled an opioid prescription within the 3 months before TKA. Preoperative opioid users were significantly more likely to undergo early TKA revision (1.6% vs 1.0%, P < .001). Preoperative opioid use (odds ratio [OR], 1.53; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.25-1.88; P < .001), younger age (OR, 2.46; 95% CI, 1.43-3.95; P < .001), obesity (OR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.01-1.56; P = .04), and smoking (OR, 1.66; 95% CI, 1.22-2.22; P < .001) were associated with early revision TKA. CONCLUSION This study identified preoperative opioid use as being independently associated with a greater risk for an early revision TKA. Younger age, obesity, and smoking were also associated with elevated risk. These findings support efforts to reduce inappropriate opioid prescribing.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Total joint arthroplasty has historically been very successful for most patients, yet some still incur a complication. In an era of value-based care, certain efforts need to be taken to optimize patients' risk profile before surgery to decrease the chances of readmission or surgical complication. METHODS We reviewed 10 key medical conditions and lifestyle factors that surgeons should improve before pursuing total joint arthroplasty and provide a summary of the available literature to guide certain optimization thresholds. RESULTS With careful attention to and the creation of a preoperative checklist, surgeons can identify key domains, including morbid obesity, malnutrition, diabetes, smoking, opioid use, poor dentition, cardiovascular disease, preoperative anemia, staphylococcus colonization, and psychological disorders and intervene based on an individual's areas of deficiencies. CONCLUSION By following stringent protocols and rescheduling surgery until optimization has occurred, we can work to provide patients the best chance for a successful outcome with an elective hip or knee arthroplasty.

Abstract
STUDY DESIGN Retrospective analysis. OBJECTIVE To compare long-term outcomes between patients with and without mental health comorbidities who are undergoing surgery for adult spinal deformity (ASD). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Recent literature reveals that one in three patients admitted for surgical treatment for ASD has comorbid mental health disorder. Currently, impacts of baseline mental health status on long-term outcomes following ASD surgery have not been thoroughly investigated. METHODS Patients admitted from 2009 to 2013 with diagnoses of ASD who underwent more than or equal to 4-level thoracolumbar fusion with minimum 2-year follow-up were retrospectively reviewed using New York State's Statewide Planning and Research Cooperative System (SPARCS). Patients were stratified by fusion length (short: 4-8-level; long: ≥9 level). Patients with comorbid mental health disorder (MHD) at time of admission were selected for analysis (MHD) and compared against those without MHD (no-MHD). Univariate analysis compared demographics, complications, readmissions, and revisions between cohorts for each fusion length. Multivariate binary logistic regression models identified independent predictors of outcomes (covariates: fusion length, age, female sex, and Deyo score). RESULTS Six thousand twenty patients (MHD: n = 1631; no-MHD: n = 4389) met inclusion criteria. Mental health diagnoses included disorders of depression (59.0%), sleep (28.0%), anxiety (24.0%), and stress (2.3%). At 2-year follow-up, MHD patients with short fusion had significantly higher complication rates (P = 0.001). MHD patients with short or long fusion also had significantly higher rates of any readmission and revision (all P ≤ 0.002). Regression modeling revealed that comorbid MHD was a significant predictor of any complication (odds ratio [OR]: 1.17, P = 0.01) and readmission (OR: 1.32, P < 0.001). MHD was the strongest predictor of any revision (OR: 1.56, P < 0.001). Long fusion most strongly predicted any complication (OR: 1.87, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION ASD patients with comorbid depressive, sleep, anxiety, and stress disorders were more likely to experience surgical complications and revision at minimum of 2 years following spinal fusion surgery. Proper patient counseling and psychological screening/support is recommended to complement ASD treatment. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE 3.
