[PMID: 38971395 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2024.06.035] [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: 02/08/2024] [Revised: 06/12/2024] [Accepted: 06/14/2024] [Indexed: 07/08/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Up to 20% of patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remain dissatisfied with their outcome, leading to the identification of risk factors for poor outcomes. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of chronic sleep disorders on patient-reported outcomes after primary TKA. METHODS A retrospective review of patients undergoing primary TKA was conducted using a prospectively collected database of patients from a single institution between 2018 and 2022. The cohort was split based on the presence of documented chronic sleep disorders, identified preoperatively from the electronic medical record using Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes. The sample was further restricted to include all patients who have sleep disorders (SD), as well as a 3:1 propensity-matched (on age, sex, Body Mass Index (BMI), and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class) cohort of patients who had no documented sleep disorders (NSD) prior to surgery. The final sample included 172 patients (SD: 43; NSD: 129). Repeated measures linear mixed model analysis was used to analyze the progression of Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) scores through time between groups. RESULTS Those who had SD had a lower preoperative mean total KOOS score (40.2) compared to the NSD group (44.1), however, this was not significantly different (P = 0.108). At one year postoperatively, those who had a SD had a significantly higher mean total KOOS score (87.2) when compared to the NSD group (80.4), P = 0.005. When comparing total KOOS scores by group, over each time period, the SD group showed a better progression when compared to the NSD group, P = 0.001. CONCLUSION Compared to patients who did not have documented chronic sleep disorders, patients who had a prior history of chronic sleep disorders reported significantly greater improvements in most KOOS domains in the 12-month period following TKA.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The relationship between psychosocial factors and bodily pain in people with knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is unclear. PURPOSE To examine whether widespread pain was associated with poorer self-efficacy, more anxiety, depression, and kinesiophobia in people with KOA. METHODS This was a cross-sectional study based on data from Good Life with osteoArthritis in Denmark (GLA:D®). The association between widespread pain (multiple pain sites) and self-efficacy (Arthritis Self-Efficacy Scale), anxiety and depression (item from the EQ-5D-5 L), and kinesiophobia (yes/no) was examined using multiple linear tobit or logistic regression models. RESULTS Among 19,323 participants, 10% had no widespread pain, 37% had 2 pain sites, 26% had 3-4 pain sites, and 27% had ≥5 pain sites. Widespread pain was associated with poorer self-efficacy (-0.9 to -8.3 points), and the association was stronger with increasing number of pain sites (p-value <.001). Significant increasing odds ratios (ORs) were observed for having anxiety or depression with 3-4 pain sites (OR 1.29, 95% CI 1.12; 1.49) and ≥5 pain sites (OR 1.80, 95% CI 1.56; 2.07). Having 2 and 3-4 pain sites were associated with lower odds of kinesiophobia compared to having no widespread pain. CONCLUSION Widespread pain was associated with lower self-efficacy and more anxiety and depression but also lower kinesiophobia in people with KOA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to analyze the current status and influencing factors of pain catastrophizing in patients undergoing total knee replacement (TKR) and to provide a basis and reference for the clinical improvement of pain catastrophizing in these patients. DESIGN This study was designed in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. DATA SOURCES PubMed, the Web of Science, the Elton B. Stephens Company, the Cochrane Library, Embase, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, the WanFang, Weipu and Chinese Biomedical Literature Databases. REVIEW/ANALYSIS METHODS A scoping review was performed using PubMed, the Web of Science, the Elton B. Stephens Company, the Cochrane Library, Embase, Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure, the WanFang, Weipu, and Chinese Biomedical Literature Databases, and after literature screening and data extraction, the results were summarized. RESULTS A total of 23 articles were included in the study. Pain catastrophizing is mostly assessed using the Pain Catastrophizing Scale and the Coping Strategies Questionnaire. The level of pain catastrophizing is an independent predictor of pain in patients undergoing TKR and is influenced by demographic, psychological, co-morbid, and prognostic factors. Pain catastrophizing interventions mainly consist of surgery, physiotherapy, medication, and psychological therapy. CONCLUSIONS Pain catastrophizing involves multiple factors, and it is necessary to explore the predictors affecting pain catastrophizing, improve the systematic evaluation of pain catastrophizing and adopt the appropriate intervention methods.

Abstract
Symptoms of depression are common among patients before surgery. Depression may be associated with worse postoperative pain and other pain-related outcomes. This review aimed to characterise the impact of pre-operative depression on postoperative pain outcomes. We conducted a systematic review of observational studies that reported an association between pre-operative depression and pain outcomes after major surgery. Multilevel random effects meta-analyses were conducted to pool standardised mean differences and 95%CI for postoperative pain scores in patients with depression compared with those without depression, at different time intervals. A meta-analysis was performed for studies reporting change in pain scores from the pre-operative period to any time-point after surgery. Sixty studies (n = 501,962) were included in the overall review, of which 18 were eligible for meta-analysis. Pre-operative depression was associated with greater pain scores at < 72 h (standardised mean difference 0.97 (95%CI 0.37-1.56), p = 0.009, I2 = 41%; moderate certainty) and > 6 months (standardised mean difference 0.45 (95%CI 0.23-0.68), p < 0.001, I2 = 78%; low certainty) after surgery, but not at 3-6 months after surgery (standardised mean difference 0.54 (95%CI -0.06-1.15), p = 0.07, I2 = 83%; very low certainty). The change in pain scores from pre-operative baseline to 1-2 years after surgery was similar between patients with and without pre-operative depression (standardised mean difference 0.13 (95%CI -0.06-0.32), p = 0.15, I2 = 54%; very low certainty). Overall, pre-existing depression before surgery was associated with worse pain severity postoperatively. Our findings highlight the importance of incorporating psychological care into current postoperative pain management approaches in patients with depression.

Moderating effects of preoperative knee pain and pain catastrophizing on the relation between COMT rs4680 genotypes and chronic postsurgical pain in total knee arthroplasty patients. Anaesth Crit Care Pain Med 2024; 43:101361. [PMID: 38408640 DOI: 10.1016/j.accpm.2024.101361] [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: 09/25/2023] [Revised: 12/12/2023] [Accepted: 12/13/2023] [Indexed: 02/28/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The Catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene, responsible for encoding an enzyme crucial in the metabolism of catecholamines, is known to play a significant role in pain perception. Polymorphisms within this gene, particularly the COMT rs4680 genotypes, have been linked to various acute pain phenotypes. This prospective cohort study examines interactions among the genetic polymorphism COMT rs4680 genotypes, preoperative knee pain, and pain catastrophizing in chronic postsurgical pain (CPSP) at 3, 6, and 12 months post-total knee arthroplasty (TKA). STUDY DESIGN A total of 280 patients undergoing primary unilateral TKA participated, sharing demographic details, preoperative knee pain levels, psychological variables (pain catastrophizing), and COMT rs4680 genotyping via venous blood samples. Telephone interviews at specified intervals enabled the application of binary logistic regressions and interaction models. RESULTS Significant influences of preoperative knee pain and pain catastrophizing on postsurgical outcomes were observed. Specifically, at the first time point (T1, 3 months post-TKA), a notable moderation effect was identified in preoperative knee pain (R2 change = 0.026, p = 0.026). The Johnson-Neyman regions of significance (RoS) indicated these moderation effects were significant above a threshold of 17.18 (p = 0.05), accounting for 26.4%. At the third time point (T3, 12 months post-TKA), a complex three-way interaction among genotypes (GG, GA, and AA carriers) was evident, resulting in an R2 change of 0.051 (p = 0.009). Here, the RoS for pain catastrophizing was above 32.74 for 30.5% of GG genotype carriers, above 22.38 for 50.8% of GA carriers, and below 11.94 for 63.2% of AA carriers. CONCLUSION This study illuminates the significant role of the COMT Val158Met rs4680 polymorphism in susceptibility to prolonged pain following TKA. It also elucidates how these genetic genotypes interplay with preoperative knee pain and pain catastrophizing. Such intricate genetic-psychological-pain relationships necessitate additional investigation to confirm these findings and potentially guide post-TKA pain management strategies.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the end-stage treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA), and approximately 20% of patients experience chronic postoperative pain. Studies indicate that inflammatory biomarkers might be associated with pain in OA and potentially linked to the development of chronic postoperative pain after TKA. This study aimed to (1) evaluate preoperative serum levels of inflammatory biomarkers in patients with OA and healthy control subjects, (2) investigate preoperative differences of inflammatory biomarker profiles in subgroups of patients, and (3) compare subgroups of patients with and without postoperative pain 12 months after surgery. Serum samples from patients with OA scheduled for TKA (n = 127) and healthy participants (n = 39) were analyzed. Patients completed the Knee-injury-and-Osteoarthritis-Outcome-Score (KOOS) questionnaire and rated their clinical pain intensity using a visual analog scale (VAS) before and 12 months after TKA. Hierarchical cluster analysis and Orthogonal Partial Least Squares Discriminant Analysis were used to compare groups (patients vs control subjects) and to identify subgroups of patients in relation to postoperative outcomes. Difference in preoperative and postoperative VAS and KOOS scores were compared across subgroups. Twelve inflammatory markers were differentially expressed in patients when compared with control subjects. Cluster analysis identified 2 subgroups of patients with 23 proteins being significantly different ( P < 0.01). The 12-months postoperative VAS and KOOS scores were significantly different between subgroups of patients ( P < 0.05). This study identified differences in specific inflammatory biomarker profiles when comparing patients with OA and control subjects. Cluster analysis identified 2 subgroups of patients with OA, with one subgroup demonstrating comparatively worse 12-month postoperative pain intensity and function scores.

Abstract
Different brain areas have distinct roles in the processing and regulation of pain and thus may form specific pharmacological targets. Prior research has shown that AMPAkines, a class of drugs that increase glutamate signaling, can enhance descending inhibition from the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and nucleus accumbens. On the other hand, activation of neurons in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) is known to produce the aversive component of pain. The impact of AMPAkines on ACC, however, is not known. We found that direct delivery of CX516, a well-known AMPAkine, into the ACC had no effect on the aversive response to pain in rats. Furthermore, AMPAkines did not modulate the nociceptive response of ACC neurons. In contrast, AMPAkine delivery into the prelimbic region of the prefrontal cortex (PL) reduced pain aversion. These results indicate that the analgesic effects of AMPAkines in the cortex are likely mediated by the PFC but not the ACC.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Longitudinal total knee arthroplasty (TKA) studies indicate that a substantial percentage of patients continue to experience clinically significant pain and functional impairment after surgery. Insomnia has been associated with poorer surgical outcomes; however, previous work has largely focused on long-term postsurgical insomnia. This study builds on previous work by examining sleep and pain outcomes about perioperative insomnia trajectories. Insomnia symptoms (using the Insomnia Severity Index) during the acute perioperative period (2 weeks pre-TKA to 6 weeks post-TKA) were used to classify participants into perioperative insomnia trajectories: (1) No Insomnia (ISI < 8), (2) New Insomnia (baseline < 8; postoperative ≥ 8 or ≥6-point increase), (3) Improved Insomnia (baseline ≥ 8, postoperative < 8 or ≥6-point decrease), and (4) Persistent Insomnia (ISI ≥ 8). Insomnia, pain, and physical functioning were assessed in participants with knee osteoarthritis (n = 173; M age = 65 ± 8.3, 57.8% female) at 5 time points: 2 weeks pre-TKA, post-TKA: 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. Significant main effects were seen for insomnia trajectory and time, and trajectory-by-time interactions for postoperative insomnia, pain severity, and physical functioning ( P' s < 0.05). The Persistent Insomnia trajectory had the worst postoperative pain at all follow-ups and marked insomnia and physical functioning impairment post-TKA ( P' s < 0.05). The New Insomnia trajectory had notable long-term insomnia (6 weeks to 6 months) and acute (6 weeks) postoperative pain and physical functioning ( P' s < 0.05). Findings indicated a significant relationship between perioperative insomnia trajectory and postoperative outcomes. Results of this study suggest that targeting presurgical insomnia and preventing the development of acute postoperative insomnia may improve long-term postoperative outcomes, with an emphasis on persistent perioperative insomnia due to poorer associated outcomes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Studies suggest that a range of pain mechanisms, such as poor quality of sleep, perceived stress, pain catastrophizing or pain sensitivity, are likely to enhance clinical pain. Animal studies suggest that these pain mechanisms can be modulated by increasing physical activity, but human data are needed to support this hypothesis. This exploratory study aimed to investigate the changes in pain mechanisms after a simple self-directed walking program of 8-weeks. Additionally, this exploratory study investigated the interaction between changes over time in assessments of poor quality of sleep, perceived stress, pain catastrophizing or pain sensitivity and how these changes interacted with each other. METHODS This prospective cohort study included 30 healthy subjects who were assessed at baseline and 4- and 8-weeks after initiating the walking program (30 min walking/day for 8 weeks). Self-report outcomes included: Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Pressure pain thresholds, temporal summation of pain and conditioned pain modulation (CPM) were assessed using cuff algometry. RESULTS Twenty-four subjects completed all the visits (age: 42.2, SD: 14.9, 16 females). PCS and PSS significantly decreased at the 8-week's visit compared to baseline (p<0.05). No significant differences were seen for an improvement in quality of sleep (p=0.071) and pain sensitivity (p>0.075) when comparing the 8-week's visit to the baseline visit. Changes in pain mechanisms comparing baseline and 8-weeks data were calculated and regression analyses found that an improvement in PCS was associated with an improvement in CPM (R2=0.197, p=0.017) and that a higher adherence to the walking program was associated with a larger improvement in PCS (R2=0.216, p=0.013). CONCLUSIONS The current exploratory study indicates that a simple self-directed walking program of 8-weeks can improve pain catastrophizing thoughts, perceived stress. Higher adherence to the walking program were associated with an improvement in pain catastrophizing and an improvement in pain catastrophizing was associated with an increase in conditioned pain modulation.

Dexamethasone as additive of local infiltration analgesia reduces opioids consumption after simultaneous bilateral total hip or knee arthroplasty: a randomized controlled double-blind trial. J Orthop Surg Res 2023; 18:715. [PMID: 37736729 PMCID: PMC10514997 DOI: 10.1186/s13018-023-04164-y] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/08/2023] [Accepted: 09/04/2023] [Indexed: 09/23/2023] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE A randomized controlled double-blind trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of adding dexamethasone to the local infiltration analgesia (LIA) mixture on frequency of patient controlled analgesia (PCA) and opioids consumption after simultaneous bilateral total hip or knee arthroplasty (THA or TKA). METHODS 108 patients who received simultaneous bilateral THA or TKA were randomly divided into dexamethasone group and normal saline (NS) group. The main difference between two groups was whether or not dexamethasone was added to the LIA mixture. The main outcome was the cumulative consumption of opioids within 24 h. The secondary outcome were the total cumulative consumption of opioids during postoperative hospitalization, consumption of opioids drug for rescue analgesia, frequency of PCA, postoperative Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), and complications. RESULTS Cumulative consumption of opioids in the 24 h was similar between two groups (P = 0.17). Total cumulative consumption of opioids in the dexamethasone group during postoperative hospitalization was significantly lower (P = 0.03). No significant difference in the consumption of opioids drug for rescue analgesia between two groups within 24 h, while the frequency of PCA was significantly different (P = 0.04). VAS of dexamethasone group and NS group were similar during postoperative hospitalization, while the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in dexamethasone group was lower than that in NS group. CONCLUSIONS Adding dexamethasone to LIA in the simultaneous bilateral THA or TKA can effectively reduce the total cumulative consumption of opioids and the frequency of PCA, as well as reduce the incidence of PONV. Trial Registration The trial has been registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (Registration Number: ChiCTR2100042551, Date: 23/01/2021).

Abstract
Introduction Pain catastrophizing, a measure of an individual's negative emotional and cognitive appraisals of pain, has been included as a key treatment target in many psychological interventions for pain. However, the neural correlates of pain catastrophizing have been understudied. Prior neuroimaging evidence suggests that adults with pain show altered reward processing throughout the mesocorticolimbic reward circuitry. Methods In this study, we tested the association between Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) scores and neural activation to the Monetary Incentive Delay (MID) reward neuroimaging task in 94 adults reporting a range of pain, insomnia, and mood symptoms. Results Results indicated that PCS score but not pain intensity was significantly associated with blunted activation in the caudate and putamen in response to feedback of successful vs. unsuccessful trials on the MID task. Mediation analyses indicated that PCS score fully mediated the relationship between depression symptoms and reward activation. Discussion These findings provide evidence that pain catastrophizing is independently associated with altered striatal function apart from depression symptoms and pain intensity. Thus, in individuals experiencing pain and/or co- morbid conditions, reward dysfunction is directly related to pain catastrophizing.

Abstract
Background and Objectives Knee osteoarthritis is one of the primary causes of chronic pain among older adults and because of the aging population, the number of total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) performed is exponentially increasing. While pain reduction is a goal of TKA, movement-evoked pain is rarely assessed pre- and post-TKA. We characterized the distributions of change in pain, function, and situational catastrophizing in patients from presurgery to 3 months postsurgery and explored associations among these pre-post changes. Research Design and Methods This prospective study longitudinally assessed movement-evoked pain, function, and situational catastrophizing in patients with knee osteoarthritis (N = 92) using in-person performance-based tests (6-min walk test [6MWT], stair-climb test [SCT]) prior to and 3 months after TKA. Patients also completed the Western Ontario McMaster Universities Scales (WOMAC) pain and function subscales, and Pain Catastrophizing Scale, presurgery and 3- and 6-months postsurgery. Results Movement-evoked pain and function on performance tests significantly improved from pre- to post-TKA. Improved SCT function was associated with reduced SCT pain and catastrophizing. Similarly, reduced pain during the SCT was associated with reduced catastrophizing during the SCT. However, 6MWT function was not associated with 6MWT pain or catastrophizing; yet reduced pain during the 6MWT was associated with reduced catastrophizing during the 6MWT. Reduced movement-evoked pain during both performance tests was consistently associated with improved WOMAC function and pain, whereas improved function on performance tests was inconsistently associated with WOMAC function and pain. Notably, greater movement-evoked pain on both performance tests at 3-month post-TKA was associated with worse WOMAC function and pain at 6 months, whereas better function on performance tests at 3 months was associated with better WOMAC function, but not related to WOMAC pain at 6 months. Discussion and Implications Findings highlight the importance of situation-specific and in vivo assessments of pain and catastrophizing during physical activity.

J Clin Orthop Trauma 2023; 42:102204. [PMID: 37449056 PMCID: PMC10336691 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcot.2023.102204] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Revised: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 06/24/2023] [Indexed: 07/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Background There is a significant dissatisfaction rate in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA), and poor mental health in patients is increasingly recognized as a major contributor to dissatisfaction. The aim was to review the effectiveness of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in improving pain and functional outcomes of patients undergoing TKA and highlight important aspects that may be crucial for improvement. Methods A systematic search was conducted in adherence to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Studies were included if they were randomized control trials that included patients undergoing unilateral or bilateral TKA, with CBT as an intervention compared against usual care, and reported outcomes in pain, knee function and any psychological outcomes as measured. Results Eight RCTs were selected which included 683 participants. The timings of CBT delivery, profiles of therapists, and outcome measures reported varied across the studies. Overall, 3 studies reported significant improvement in pain outcomes, 3 studies reported significant improvement in functional outcomes and 5 studies reported significant improvements in psychological outcomes. Conclusion Current evidence does not support the efficacy of CBT as current literature is too heterogenous. Further studies with homogenous CBT methods are required to further ascertain the true relationship between CBT and postoperative outcomes of TKA. Future studies should consider the points set out in this review, such as the importance of revisiting CBTskills, providing individualized therapy, having a supervisory team to support the fidelity of interventions, and identifying which group of patients would best benefit from CBT.

Abstract
Modern ophthalmology includes a wide range of surgical options and, accordingly, also requires appropriate pain management. There are established risk factors for severe postoperative pain that should be identified and considered in the perioperative management. The main risk factors and existing recommendations are presented in this article. Patients at risk should be identified before surgery. It is important that perioperative pain management is implemented in the treatment plan as part of an interdisciplinary cooperation to identify and address the risks as early as possible.

Abstract
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is considered a common surgical option in patients with end-stage osteoarthritis of the knee. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for patients after TKA. PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science and CINAHL were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) from inception to 20 August 2021. Included studies were evaluated with the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool. Six RCTs were included. Our study results demonstrated that a significant reduction in pain catastrophing was seen in patients receiving CBT at post-intervention (SMD -0.48, 95% CI = -0.72 to -0.23, I2 17.2%, p = 0.00) but not in 3-month or 12-month follow-up. There were no significant differences between CBT and usual-care patients regarding pain intensity or knee function at different time-points. This is the first time that meta-analysis has been conducted to determine the effectiveness of CBT for patients after TKA. It is necessary to conduct longer follow-ups, include larger samples and conduct rigorous RCTs to further explore this issue.

Quantitative sensory testing as an assessment tool to predict the response to standard pain treatment in knee osteoarthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis. Pain Rep 2023; 8:e1079.

Abstract
Emerging evidence suggest that quantitative sensory testing (QST) may predict the treatment response to pain-relieving therapies. This systematic review and meta-analysis focus on the predictive value of QST for pain management of knee osteoarthritis (OA). MEDLINE and EMBASE were systematically searched for all studies from year 2000 to 2023 on pretreatment QST and treatment of OA including surgical, pharmaceutical, and nonsurgical and nonpharmaceutical therapies. Preclinical studies and reviews were excluded. The systematic review followed the PRISMA guidelines and was pre-registered on the Open Science Framework website (link: https://osf.io/4FETK/, Identifier: DOI 10.17605/OSF.IO/4FETK). Meta-analysis were conducted to demonstrate the strength of the pre-treatment QST predictions on pain outcomes after OA treatments. Sixteen surgical (all on total knee arthroplasty [TKA], N = 1967), 5 pharmaceutical (4 on non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs [NSAIDs], N = 271), and 4 exercise-based therapy studies (N = 232) were identified. Pretreatment QST parameters predicted pain-relieving treatment outcomes in 81% of surgical, 100% of pharmaceutical, and 50% of exercise-based therapy studies. Meta-analyses found pretreatment QST profiles to predicted pain outcomes after TKA (random effects: 0.309, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.206-0.405, P < 0.001), NSAIDs (random effects: 0.323, 95% CI: 0.194-0.441, P < 0.001), and exercise-based therapies (random effects: 0.417, 95% CI: 0.138-0.635, P = 0.004). The overall risk of bias for the included studies was low to moderate. This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrate weak-to-moderate associations between pretreatment QST and pain outcomes after standard OA pain treatments. Based on this work, it is hypothesized that a subset of specific pain sensitive patients with OA exist and that these patients do not respond adequately to standard OA pain treatments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess whether brief mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy (MBCBT) could enhance the benefits of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in improving pain and pain-related disability. Specifically, to determine 1) whether patients who received MBCBT differed from matched controls who received treatment-as-usual with regard to postsurgical pain outcomes and 2) whether changes in pain catastrophizing, depression, or anxiety explained the potential effects of MBCBT on pain outcomes. DESIGN Pilot clinical trial. SETTING An academic teaching hospital serving a large urban and suburban catchment area surrounding the Boston, Massachusetts metropolitan region. SUBJECTS Sample of 44 patients undergoing TKA. Patients who completed a brief MBCBT intervention (n = 22) were compared with age-, race-, and sex-matched controls who received treatment-as-usual (n = 22). METHODS The MBCBT intervention included four 60-minute sessions delivered by a pain psychologist in person and via telephone during the perioperative period. Participants were assessed at baseline and at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months after surgery. RESULTS Compared with matched controls, patients who received MBCBT had lower pain severity and pain interference at 6 weeks after surgery. Group differences in outcomes were mediated by changes in pain catastrophizing but not by changes in depression or anxiety. The MBCBT group had similar reductions in pain severity and interference as the control group did at 3 and 6 months after surgery. CONCLUSIONS This work offers evidence for a safe and flexibly delivered nonpharmacological treatment (MBCBT) to promote faster recovery from TKA and identifies change in pain catastrophizing as a mechanism by which this intervention could lead to enhanced pain-related outcomes.

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

Abstract
PURPOSE Chronic pain treatment in the military includes complementary and integrative health (CIH) therapies that may affect psychological factors such as pain catastrophizing, chronic pain acceptance, pain self-efficacy, and patient activation. The unique roles that psychosocial factors play in how CIH approaches reduce pain are not clear. This study examined if a holistic pain management program improved pain outcomes through psychological mediators in service members with chronic pain. DESIGN Secondary analysis of a clinical trial. METHODS Active-duty service members (n = 210) were randomly assigned to a 3-week course of standard rehabilitative care or standard rehabilitative care combined with CIH therapies. Both treatments were followed by a 3-week functional restoration program. Study measures were completed pre- and post-treatment using the Military Health System's Pain Assessment Screening Tool and Outcomes Registry. Mediation analyses tested the indirect effects of the change in psychological factors before functional restoration on the change in pain impact (e.g., pain intensity, pain interference, functional status) after functional restoration. RESULTS All psychological factors except for chronic pain acceptance were related to improved pain impact (p<.05). Furthermore, a change in psychological factors prior to functional restoration was related to the change in pain impact after functional restoration. However, the addition of CIH therapies to standard rehabilitative care did not result in changes in pain outcomes mediated by the psychological factors. CONCLUSIONS Although psychological factors were related to pain outcomes, the effect of CIH therapies on chronic pain did not occur via a change in the four psychological factors.

Preoperative Pain Catastrophizing and Neuropathic Pain Do Not Predict Length of Stay and Early Post-Operative Complications following Total Joint Arthroplasty. J Pers Med 2023; 13:jpm13020216. [PMID: 36836450 PMCID: PMC9962732 DOI: 10.3390/jpm13020216] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/11/2022] [Revised: 01/20/2023] [Accepted: 01/23/2023] [Indexed: 01/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Both pain catastrophizing and neuropathic pain have been suggested as prospective risk factors for poor postoperative pain outcomes in total joint arthroplasty (TJA). OBJECTIVE We hypothesized that pain catastrophizers, as well as patients with pain characterized as neuropathic, would exhibit higher pain scores, higher early complication rates and longer lengths of stay following primary TJA. METHODS A prospective, observational study in a single academic institution included 100 patients with end-stage hip or knee osteoarthritis scheduled for TJA. In pre-surgery, measures of health status, socio-demographics, opioid use, neuropathic pain (PainDETECT), pain catastrophizing (PCS), pain at rest and pain during activity (WOMAC pain items) were collected. The primary outcome measure was the length of stay (LOS) and secondary measures were the discharge destinations, early postoperative complications, readmissions, visual analog scale (VAS) levels and distances walked during the hospital stay. RESULTS The prevalence of pain catastrophizing (PCS ≥ 30) and neuropathic pain (PainDETECT ≥ 19) was 45% and 20.4%, respectively. Preoperative PCS correlated positively with PainDETECT (rs = 0.501, p = 0.001). The WOMAC positively correlated more strongly with PCS (rs = 0.512 p = 0.01) than with PainDETECT (rs = 0.329 p = 0.038). Neither PCS nor PainDETECT correlated with the LOS. Using multivariate regression analysis, a history of chronic pain medication use was found to predict early postoperative complications (OR 38.1, p = 0.47, CI 1.047-1386.1). There were no differences in the remaining secondary outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Both PCS and PainDETECT were found to be poor predictors of postoperative pain, LOS and other immediate postoperative outcomes following TJA.

Effect of General vs. Regional Anesthesia on Mortality, Complications, and Prognosis in Older Adults Undergoing Hip Fracture Surgery: A Propensity-Score-Matched Cohort Analysis. J Clin Med 2022; 12:jcm12010080. [PMID: 36614881 PMCID: PMC9821019 DOI: 10.3390/jcm12010080] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/13/2022] [Revised: 10/23/2022] [Accepted: 11/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/24/2022] Open
Abstract
The choice of the type of anesthesia (TOA) used in hip fracture surgery in older adults is still controversial. The main question is not whether regional anesthesia (RA) or general anesthesia (GA) is superior, but in which patients the type of anesthesia may affect the outcome after surgery. In this retrospective analysis of surgically treated intertrochanteric fracture patients, we used propensity score matching (PSM) to investigate whether clinically relevant differences in outcomes were observed in mortality, complications, and functional outcomes between RA and GA. After screening 2934 consecutive patients, 2170 were ultimately included, including 841 in the GA group and 1329 in the RA group. After PSM, 808 remained in each group. Patients receiving GA were more prone to have a shorter duration for their operation and higher total hospital costs than patients with RA (p = 0.034 and 0.004, respectively). We also observed that the GA group has a higher rate of pulmonary complications, while the RA group has a higher rate of cardiac complications (p = 0.017 and 0.011, respectively). No significant difference was observed in mortality, functional outcomes, and other complications (all p > 0.05). The clinical innovation of this study was the potential value of GA for patients with cardiac diseases and of RA for patients with pulmonary diseases.

PAIN MEDICINE (MALDEN, MASS.) 2022; 23:1767-1776. [PMID: 35482515 PMCID: PMC9527599 DOI: 10.1093/pm/pnac067] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/09/2021] [Revised: 03/11/2022] [Accepted: 04/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/13/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Expectancies have a well-documented influence on the experience of pain, responses to treatment, and postsurgical outcomes. In individuals with osteoarthritis, several studies have shown that expectations predict increased pain and disability after total knee replacement surgery. Despite the growing recognition of the importance of expectancies in clinical settings, few studies have examined the influence of expectancies throughout postsurgical recovery trajectories. The objective of the present study was to examine the role of presurgical expectancies on pain and function at 6-week, 6-month, and 1-year follow-ups after total knee arthroplasty. DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS Data were collected from patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty 1 week before surgery and then at 6 weeks, 6 months, and 1 year after surgery. Correlational and multivariable regression analyses examined the influence of expectancies on patients' perceptions of pain reduction and functional improvement at each time point. Analyses controlled for age, sex, body mass index, presurgical pain intensity and function, pain catastrophizing, anxiety, and depression. RESULTS Results revealed that expectancies significantly predicted pain reduction and functional improvement at 1-year follow-up. However, expectancies did not predict outcomes at the 6-week and 6-month follow-ups. Catastrophizing and depressive symptoms emerged as short-term predictors of postsurgical functional limitations at 6-week and 6-month follow-ups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS The results suggest that targeting high levels of catastrophizing and depressive symptoms could optimize short-term recovery after total knee arthroplasty. However, the results demonstrate that targeting presurgical negative expectancies could prevent prolonged recovery trajectories, characterized by pain and loss of function up to 1 year after total knee arthroplasty.

Chronic Postoperative Pain after Total Knee Arthroplasty: The Potential Contributions of Synovitis, Pain Sensitization, and Pain Catastrophizing - An Explorative Study. Eur J Pain 2022; 26:1979-1989. [PMID: 35959735 PMCID: PMC9544145 DOI: 10.1002/ejp.2018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 15] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/03/2022] [Revised: 08/01/2022] [Accepted: 08/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/10/2022]
Abstract
Background A subset of osteoarthritis patients will experience chronic postoperative pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), but the source of pain is unclear. The aim of this exploratory study was to assess patients with and without postoperative pain after TKA using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), quantitative sensory testing (QST), clinical assessment of pain and assessments of catastrophizing thoughts. Methods Forty‐six patients completed the 6‐month postoperative assessment. MRI findings were scored according to the MRI Osteoarthritis Knee Score recommendation for Hoffa synovitis, effusion size and bone marrow lesions. QST included assessment of pressure pain thresholds (PPTs), temporal summation of pain (TSP) and conditioned pain modulation (CPM). Pain catastrophizing was assessed using the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS). Clinical pain assessment was conducted using a visual analogue scale (VAS, 0–10 cm), and groups of moderate‐to‐severe (VAS > 3) and none‐to‐mild postoperative pain (VAS ≤ 3) were identified. Results Patients with moderate‐to‐severe postoperative pain (N = 15) demonstrated higher grades of Hoffa synovitis (p < 0.001) and effusion size (p < 0.001), lower PPTs (p = 0.039), higher TSP (p = 0.001) and lower CPM (p = 0.014) when compared with patients with none‐to‐mild postoperative pain (N = 31). No significant difference was found in PCS scores between the two groups. Multiple linear regression models found synovitis (p = 0.036), effusion size (p = 0.003), TSP (p = 0.013) and PCS (p < 0.001) as independent parameters contributing to the postoperative pain intensity. Conclusion These exploratory findings could indicate that chronic postoperative pain after TKA is a combination of joint‐related synovitis and effusion, sensitization of central pain mechanisms and potentially pain catastrophizing thoughts, but larger studies are needed to confirm this. Significance The end‐stage treatment of knee osteoarthritis is total knee arthroplasty. Some patients experience chronic postoperative pain after total knee arthroplasty, but the mechanism for chronic postoperative pain is widely unknown. The current study indicates that higher levels postoperative of synovitis and effusion, higher temporal summation of pain and higher pain catastrophizing scores could be associated with higher chronic postoperative pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients who undergo total hip arthroplasty (THA) require resilience to recover and resume daily functions. Increased resilience may be an important factor for achieving improved outcomes. The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of resilience on time to discharge and on early patient-reported outcomes following primary THA. METHODS A retrospective review of patients who underwent primary THAs and completed the Brief Resilience Scale (BRS) was conducted from 2020 to 2021 at an urban, academic hospital. Patients were separated into 3 cohorts based on BRS score: low (1-2.99), normal (3-4.30), and high (4.31-5) resilience. Demographics, participation in same-day discharge (SDD) program, length of stay (LOS), and preoperative and 3-month postoperative scores on the Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score Joint Replacement (HOOS JR) were assessed. SDD patients were excluded from LOS analysis. RESULTS A total of 393 patients were included. Compared to low resilience patients, odds of being enrolled in SDD program were 1.49 and 3.01 times higher (P = .01) and 3-month HOOS JR scores improved by 4.7% and 11.7% (P = .03) for normal and high resilience patients, respectively. As resilience increased from low to normal to high in non-SDD patients, LOS significantly decreased (53.27 ± 51.92 vs 38.70 ± 28.03 vs 25.64 ± 14.48 hours, respectively; P = .001). CONCLUSION Increased resilience is positively associated with likelihood of SDD participation or decreased LOS. Increased resilience was associated with increased HOOS JR scores at 3 months, although this did not reach the minimal clinically important difference. The BRS may be a useful tool for predicting patients who can successfully participate in SDD or predicting LOS after primary THA.

Abstract
Background Pain catastrophizing in preoperative total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients is associated with several poorly characterised factors in the literature. This study investigated the current state and associated factors of preoperative pain catastrophizing in patients undergoing TKA. Methods This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted at the orthopedics ward of two tertiary hospitals in Lanzhou, China. Pain catastrophizing was measured using the Chinese versions of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale, Short Form-36 (physical function domain), Numerical Rating Scale, Oxford Knee Score, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and Life Orientation Test-Revised. Results The study included 360 participants. Preoperative TKA pain catastrophizing in all patients was high, with a mean score of 24.92 (SD: 12.38). The stepwise multiple linear regression analysis revealed anxiety (β = 0.548, P < 0.01), education level (β = − 0.179, P < 0.01), physical function (β = − 0.156, P < 0.01), and pain intensity during activity (β = 0.105, P = 0.015) as associated factors for pain catastrophizing, possibly explaining 51.2% of the total variation (F = 95.149, P < 0.01). Conclusion Anxiety was the most relevant factor for pain catastrophizing in patients with preoperative TKA. Lower education levels, poor physical function, and stronger pain intensity during the activity were also associated with pain catastrophizing.

Use of Intravenous Paracetamol Preoperatively Favors Lower Risk of Delirium and Functional Recovery in Elderly Patients with Hip Fracture: A Propensity Score-Matched Analysis. Pain Res Manag 2022; 2022:1582727. [PMID: 35463628 PMCID: PMC9020999 DOI: 10.1155/2022/1582727] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/22/2021] [Revised: 03/12/2022] [Accepted: 03/18/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
We aimed to investigate whether the use of intravenous paracetamol (IVP) preoperatively in intertrochanteric fracture (IF) patients aged 65 years or over receiving intramedullary fixation had significantly benefits on the pain score at discharge, delirium incidence, length of hospital stay (LOS), functional outcomes, and mortality. A retrospective analysis of all surgically treated patients presenting with IF was conducted at a single Level I trauma center in China between Jan. 2016 and Jan. 2020. The data concerning patients' demographics, injury-related data, surgery-related data, operation-related data, in-hospital data, and postoperative outcomes were extracted. To minimize potential confounding and selection bias, the propensity score matching (PSM) method was performed via the caliper matching method by using a 1 : 1 ratio. After PSM, McNemar's chi-square tests were used to examine the association of using IVP with outcome analyses. The Spearman correlations of IVP using, pain scores, and the factors which may influence them were also computed. After screening 2963 consecutive patients, 2166 were included finally, including 1576 in the non-IVP group and 590 in the IVP group. After PSM, 531 remained in each group. The pain scores at discharge were significantly between the two groups before and after matching (all p < 0.001). The differences of delirium rate and functional outcomes became significant after propensity score-based matching (p=0.001 and 0.033, respectively), although they were not significant before matching. No significant difference was observed in other operation-related data, LOS, and crude mortality rates at 30-day, 90-day, and 12-month before and after PSM. In conclusion, this study highlights the need for preoperative IVP use to optimize pain control, postoperative functional recovery, and minimize pain-related comorbidities such as delirium in elderly patients with hip fracture.

Abstract
PURPOSE A randomized controlled trial was conducted to investigate whether cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) can improve postoperative pain, knee function, and negative emotion in patients aged 70 years and older who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS This study used randomized, parallel group, controlled trial to divide the included 90 patients into CBT group and usual care group. The primary outcome measure of the study was the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) at activity. The secondary outcome measures included the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-Rating Depression Scale (SDS), Knee Range of Motion (ROM), Oxford Knee Score (OKS), Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Rating Scale (HSS), analgesics dose, and postoperative complications. RESULTS 83 patients who met the criteria were randomized into CBT group and usual care group. In the SAS, score of the CBT group decreased by 4.3 points at 7th day and 8.2 at 14th day after surgery with respect to preoperative SAS score, the usual care group increased by 1.5 at 7th day and decreased 1.1 at 14th day, and tended to be similar at 3rd month after surgery. There were no significant differences at 7th and 14th day in SDS, however, score of the CBT group was 5.8 and the usual care group was 1.9 at 3rd month after surgery. No statistically significant differences in VAS at activity, ROM, OKS, HSS, analgesics frequency, and postoperative complications between two groups. CONCLUSIONS CBT was superior to usual care group in relieving anxiety at 7th day and 14th day, and depression at 3rd month, however, CBT cannot relieve postoperative pain and improve joint function after TKA in patients aged 70 years and older.

Clinical Course of Pain and Function Following Total Knee Arthroplasty: A Systematic Review and Meta-Regression. J Arthroplasty 2021; 36:3993-4002.e37. [PMID: 34275710 DOI: 10.1016/j.arth.2021.06.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 7.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2021] [Revised: 05/17/2021] [Accepted: 06/17/2021] [Indexed: 02/02/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is widely considered a successful intervention for osteoarthritis and other degenerative knee diseases. This study addresses the need for a high-quality meta-analysis that outlines the clinical course of pain and function post-TKA. METHODS The review included prospective cohort studies assessing pain or function of patients undergoing primary TKA at baseline (preoperatively) and at least 2 additional time points including one at least 12 months postoperatively. Two reviewers independently screened references, extracted data, and assessed risk of bias using the Quality in Prognosis Studies tool. The time course of recovery of pain and function was modeled using fractional polynomial meta-regression. RESULTS In total, 191 studies with 59,667 patients were included, most with low risk of bias. The variance-weighted mean pain score (/100, 0 = no pain) was 64.0 (95% confidence interval [CI] 60.2-67.7) preoperatively, 24.1 (95% CI 20.3-27.9) at 3 months, 20.4 (95% CI 16.7-24.0) at 6 months, and 16.9 (95%CI 13.6-20.3) at 12 months, and remained low (10.1; 95% CI 4.8-15.4) at 10 years postoperatively. The variance-weighted mean function score (/100, 0 = worst function) was 47.1 (95% CI 45.7-48.4) preoperatively, 72.8 (95% CI 71.3-74.4) at 3 months, 76.3 (95% CI 74.7-77.8) at 6 months, and 78.1 (95%CI 76.4-79.7) at 12 months. Function scores were good (79.7; 95% CI 77.9-81.5) at 10 years postoperatively. CONCLUSION Patients undergoing primary TKA can expect a large and rapid but incomplete recovery of pain and function in the first postoperative year. At 10 years, the gains in pain scores may still remain while there is an improvement in function.

Do Sex and Pain Characteristics Influence the Effectiveness of Pain Neuroscience Education in People Scheduled for Total Knee Arthroplasty? Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial. Phys Ther 2021; 101:6352443. [PMID: 34459493 DOI: 10.1093/ptj/pzab197] [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: 12/05/2020] [Revised: 03/23/2021] [Accepted: 06/27/2021] [Indexed: 11/13/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This explorative study investigates the moderating effect of sex and baseline pain characteristics on the effectiveness of preoperative pain neuroscience education (PNE) plus knee joint mobilization versus biomedical education plus knee joint mobilization in patients who have knee osteoarthritis and are scheduled to undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS After baseline assessment of self-reported questionnaires (pain intensity, disability, symptoms of central sensitization and pain cognitions) and quantitative sensory testing, 44 participants with knee osteoarthritis were randomized into the PNE plus knee joint mobilization or biomedical education plus knee joint mobilization group. The questionnaires were retaken directly after and 1 month after 4 sessions of treatment and at 3 months after surgery. Based on baseline quantitative sensory testing results, the sample was subdivided into a high (showing high experimental pain levels and low pressure pain thresholds) and low pain cluster using principal components analysis and cluster analysis. Therapy effects over time were evaluated using 3-way analysis of variance, with time as the within factor and treatment, sex, and baseline pain cluster as between factors. RESULTS Women benefited significantly more from the PNE intervention compared with the control intervention in terms of self-reported symptoms of central sensitization. For both pain clusters, differences in therapeutic effects concerning pain intensity and pain cognitions were found, with higher superiority of the PNE intervention in the high-pain cluster subgroup compared with the low-pain cluster. CONCLUSION Based on these explorative analyses, it can be concluded that sex and preoperative pain measures may influence the effectiveness of preoperative PNE for some specific outcome measures in people scheduled to undergo TKA. IMPACT Although further research on this topic is needed, the potential influence of sex and preoperative pain measures on the effectiveness of preoperative PNE should be considered when implementing this intervention in people undergoing TKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Chronic postoperative pain following total joint replacement (TJA) is a substantial clinical problem, and poor sleep may affect predictive factors for postoperative pain, such as pain catastrophizing. However, the magnitude of these associations is currently unknown. This exploratory study investigated (1) the relationship between preoperative sleep quality, clinical pain intensity, pain catastrophizing, anxiety, and depression and (2) their associations with chronic postoperative pain following TJA. METHODS This secondary analysis from a larger randomized controlled trial included rest pain intensity (preoperative and 12 months postoperative; visual analogue scale, VAS), preoperative Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) data from 74 knee and 89 hip osteoarthritis (OA) patients scheduled for TJA. Poor sleepers were identified based on preoperative PSQI scores higher than 5. RESULTS Poor sleepers demonstrated higher preoperative VAS, pain catastrophizing, anxiety, and depression compared with good sleepers (all p < 0.003). Preoperative PSQI (β = 0.23, p = 0.006), PCS (β = 0.44, p < 0.005), and anxiety (β = 0.18, p = 0.036) were independent factors for preoperative VAS. Preoperative VAS (β = 0.32, p < 0.005), but not preoperative sleep quality (β = -0.06, p = 0.5), was an independent factor for postoperative VAS. CONCLUSION The OA patients reporting poor preoperative sleep quality show higher preoperative pain, pain catastrophizing, anxiety, and depression. High preoperative pain intensity, but not poor sleep quality, was associated with higher chronic postoperative pain intensity. Future studies are encouraged to explore associations between sleep and chronic postoperative pain.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The degree to which physical activity results in arthritis progression is unknown, but it probably is less than most people believe. But the belief that painful activity is harmful has notable associations both with greater pain intensity and greater activity intolerance among people seeking care for painful conditions such as osteoarthritis. If there were evidence that people not seeking care would prefer to accommodate a painful cherished activity, even if such accommodation is harmful, this might remind surgeons that many people seeking their care also hold this value. Care strategies could be designed to help people reconnect with this value by guiding them to an appropriate weighting of the potential benefits and the potential harms of painful activity. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES (1) What degree of harm (measured as a decrease in the number of years before reconstructive surgery) are people willing to trade to continue a cherished activity? (2) What factors are associated with the chosen number of years? (3) What percentage of patients is willing to trade harm to the joint (presented as surgery 3 years earlier) to continue their cherished activity? (4) What factors are associated with the choice to trade harm for continued activity? METHODS We performed an online, survey-based, time trade-off experiment using a crowdsourcing website that allows users to pay volunteers to complete surveys. The survey was closed when the prespecified number of surveys was obtained. The experiment measured personal and psychological factors associated with the willingness to accommodate harmful painful activity to continue cherished activities among people not currently troubled by the condition, an approach favored in trade-off studies. Large crowdsourcing survey studies may not represent the general population, but they have sufficient diversity to determine factors associated with responses. Participants (539 total, 289 men and 250 women with a mean age of 33 ± 11 years) completed validated measures of symptoms of anxiety and depression, activity tolerance, an 11-point ordinal measure of pain intensity, and three validated questionnaires addressing common misconceptions about pain. To answer our first and second questions, we calculated the harm (measured as a decrease in the number of years before reconstructive surgery) that people were willing to trade to continue their cherished activity, and then we used multiple linear regression to identify factors associated with the number of years. To answer the third and fourth questions, we calculated the percentage of patients who would choose to trade harm to the joint (surgery 3 years earlier) to continue their cherished activity and then we used multiple logistic regression to identify factors associated with the choice to trade harm for activity. RESULTS Participants were willing to trade harm in the form of more rapid disease progression leading to surgery a mean of 4.5 ± 3.6 years earlier to continue a cherished activity. Controlling for personal and psychological factors, a greater number of years people were willing to trade was associated with slightly greater bodily pain intensity (r = 0.11; p = 0.01). Seventy-six percent (410 of 539) of participants were willing to trade harm in the form of needing surgery 3 years earlier to continue their cherished activity. Controlling for personal and psychological factors, a choice to trade earlier surgery for continued activity was associated with an income greater than USD 50,000 per year (odds ratio 2.07 [95% confidence interval 1.17 to 3.65]; p = 0.01) and greater fear of painful movement (OR 1.07 [95% CI 1.01 to 1.15]; p = 0.04). CONCLUSION People are relatively willing to accommodate pain to continue a cherished activity, even if it causes harm. CLINICAL RELEVANCE Musculoskeletal specialists can incorporate strategies to help people seeking care to revitalize their inherent level of willingness to accommodate painful activity. One strategy might be to attend to an appropriate weighting of the potential benefits and the potential harms of painful activity. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II, prognostic study.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Although numerous studies show that preoperative pain catastrophizing is a risk factor for pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA), little is known about the temporal course of the association between perioperative pain catastrophizing and pain severity. The present study investigated temporal changes and their dynamic associations between pain catastrophizing and pain severity before and after TKA. DESIGN A secondary data analysis of a larger observational parent study featuring prospective repeated measurement over 12 months. SETTING Dual-site academic hospital. SUBJECTS A total of 245 individuals who underwent TKA. METHODS Participants completed pain catastrophizing and pain severity questionnaires at baseline, 6 weeks, and 3, 6, and 12 months after TKA. Cross-lagged panel analysis was conducted with structural equation modeling including age, sex, race, baseline anxiety, and depressive symptoms as covariates. RESULTS Reduction in pain catastrophizing from baseline to 6 weeks after TKA was associated with lower pain severity at 3 months after TKA (standardized β = 0.14; SE = 0.07, P = 0.046), while reduction in pain severity at 6 weeks after TKA was not associated with pain catastrophizing at 3 months after TKA (P = 0.905). In the chronic postsurgical period (>3 months), pain catastrophizing at 6 months after TKA predicted pain severity at 12 months after TKA (β = 0.23, P = 0.009) with controlling for auto-correlation and covariates, but not vice versa. CONCLUSIONS We provide evidence that changes in pain catastrophizing from baseline to 6 weeks after TKA are associated with subsequent pain severity. Future studies are warranted to determine whether targeting pain catastrophizing during the perioperative period may improve clinical outcomes for individuals undergoing TKA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of improved perioperative sleep on pain, analgesic consumption, and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) in patients who were undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA). METHODS Original studies published from 1 January 1970 to 30 September 2020 were queried in three unique databases using a common search term. The searches sought randomized controlled trials (RCT) investigating the effectiveness of sleep quality or quantity interventions for pain control early after TKA or THA. Grey literature was also searched by screening trial registers. There was no limitation on published language and patients. Two reviewers then assessed studies for eligibility. Eligible studies should have primary outcomes including perioperativeWe have comfirmed the edits. visual analogue scale (VAS) pain score and analgesic consumption; and secondary outcomes including side effects, such as PONV. Data extracted from the literature were abstracted into a comma-separated database spreadsheet using Microsoft Excel. A meta-analysis was then performed. Pooled statistics were calculated with weighting by inverse variance assuming a random effect model. I2 was calculated as a quantifier of heterogeneity and interpreted according to the Cochrane manual. All data analysis was performed using Revman software. RESULTS From a total of 1285 potential records identified in the electronic search, six studies eventually fulfilled the eligibility criteria. The six controlled RCTs consisted of 207 patients in the sleep-improving group and 209 patients in the control group. The severity of rest pain was significantly lower in the sleep-improving group compared with the control group at day 1 and day 3 postoperatively; the severity of active pain was significantly lower in the sleep-improving group compared with the control group at day 3 postoperatively. Data concerning analgesic drugs could not undergo a meta-analysis due to the difference of eligible studies. No significant difference was found in the incidence of PONV between the sleep-improving group and the control group. CONCLUSION Improved perioperative sleep, regardless of quality or quantity, could significantly reduce the pain level at the early stage after TKA or THA, thus the total amount of analgesic drugs consumed was decreased, without significant increase in the incidence of PONV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The relationship among pain catastrophizing, emotional disorders, and total joint arthroplasty (TJA) outcomes is an emerging area of study. The purpose of this study is to examine the association of these factors with 1-year postoperative pain and functional outcomes. METHODS A prospective cohort study of preoperative TJA patients using the Pain Catastrophizing Scale and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS-A/HADS-D) was conducted. Postoperative outcomes included Visual Analog Scale (VAS) pain, Oxford, Harris Hip (HHS) and Knee Society (KSS) scores. Median regression was used to assess the pattern of relationship among preoperative clinically relevant catastrophizing (CRC) pain, abnormal HADS, and 1-year postoperative outcomes. RESULTS We recruited 463 TJA patients, all of which completed 1-year follow-up. At 1 year, CRC-rumination (adjusted median difference 1; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.31-1.69, P = .005) and abnormal HADS-A (adjusted median difference 1; 95% CI 0.36-1.64, P = .002) were predictors of VAS pain, CRC magnification a predictor of HHS/KSS (adjusted median difference 1.3; 95% CI 5.23-0.11, P = .041), and abnormal HADS-A a predictor of Oxford (adjusted median difference 3.68; 95% CI 1.38-5.99, P = .002). CRC patients demonstrated inferior VAS pain (P = .001), Oxford (P < .0001), and HHS/KSS (P = .025). Abnormal HADS patients demonstrated inferior postoperative VAS (HADS-A, P = .025; HADS-D, P = .030) and Oxford (HADS-A, P = .001; HADS-D, P = .030). However, patients with CRC experienced significant improvement in VAS, Oxford, and HHS/KSS (P < .05) from preoperative to 1 year. Similarly, patients with abnormal HADS showed significant improvement in VAS pain and HHS/KSS (P < .05). CONCLUSION TJA patients who are anxious, depressed, or pain catastrophizing have inferior preoperative and postoperative pain and function. However, as compared to their preoperative status, clinically significant improvement can be expected following hip/knee arthroplasty.

Abstract
Introduction The purpose of this study was to identify preoperative factors associated with worse PROMIS Pain Interference (PI) two years following knee surgery. Methods Participants completed surveys preoperatively and two years postoperatively. Data collected included demographics, medical history, and multiple patient-reported outcomes measures, including PROMIS PI. Results After controlling for confounders, lower income, smoking, worse PROMIS Anxiety, worse Numeric Pain Score body pain, and worse Marx Activity Rating Scale were independent predictors for worse PROMIS PI two years after surgery. Conclusion Worse PROMIS PI two years after elective knee surgery is associated with multiple socio-demographic patient identifiers.

Resilience and pain catastrophizing among patients with total knee arthroplasty: a cohort study to examine psychological constructs as predictors of post-operative outcomes. Health Qual Life Outcomes 2021; 19:136. [PMID: 33933091 PMCID: PMC8088639 DOI: 10.1186/s12955-021-01772-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2020] [Accepted: 04/19/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Patients’ psychological health may influence recovery and functional outcomes after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Pain catastrophizing, known to be associated with poor function following TKA, encompasses rumination, magnification, and helplessness that patients feel toward their pain. Resilience, however, is an individual's ability to adapt to adversity and may be an important psychological construct that supersedes the relationship between pain catastrophizing and recovery. In this study we sought to identify whether pre-operative resilience is predictive of 3-month postoperative outcomes after adjusting for pain catastrophizing and other covariates. Methods Patients undergoing TKA between January 2019 and November 2019 were included in this longitudinal cohort study. Demographics and questionnaires [Brief Resilience Scale (BRS), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score, Junior (KOOS, JR.) and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical and Mental Health (PROMIS PH and MH, respectively)] were collected preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively. Multivariable regression was used to test associations of preoperative BRS with postoperative outcomes, adjusting for PCS and other patient-level sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. Results The study cohort included 117 patients with a median age of 67.0 years (Q1–Q3: 59.0–72.0). Fifty-three percent of patients were women and 70.1% were white. Unadjusted analyses identified an association between resilience and post-operative outcomes and the relationship persisted for physical function after adjusting for PCS and other covariates; in multivariable linear regression analyses, higher baseline resilience was positively associated with better postoperative knee function (β = 0.24, p = 0.019) and better general physical health (β = 0.24, p = 0.013) but not general mental health (β = 0.04, p = 0.738).
Conclusions Our prospective cohort study suggests that resilience predicts postoperative knee function and general physical health in patients undergoing TKA. Exploring interventions that address preoperative mental health and resilience more specifically may improve self-reported physical function outcomes of patients undergoing TKA.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate the functioning of the PROMIS-Global Health (PROMIS-GH) across clinical setting, patient age, and medical complexity by evaluating differential item functioning (DIF) within the Global Physical Health (GPH) and Global Mental Health (GMH) domains. To our knowledge, no study demonstrates lack of differential item functioning (DIF) for PROMIS-GH across these populations. We hypothesize that the PROMIS-GH domains of GMH and GPH will perform similarly when compared across these populations. METHODS Seven thousand nine hundred and seventy four complete PROMIS Global Health measures were retrospectively analyzed using the 'Lordif' package on the R platform. DIF was investigated for both GMH and GPH across clinical environment (Orthopedic Surgery, Family Medicine, & Internal Medicine), age group (≤ 53, > 53-66, > 66), and Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI:0, CCI:1, CCI:2 +) using quasi Monte Carlo estimation. To assess the significance of DIF, Wald tests were used with the Benjamini & Hochberg procedure. RESULTS No items contained in the GMH or GPH demonstrated DIF across age groups, medical complexity, or clinical environment. CONCLUSION Items assessing the domains of GMH and GPH within the PROMIS-GH function comparably across treatment setting, age category, and medical comorbidities. The PROMIS-Global Health holds potential to facilitate interdisciplinary patient care and patient optimization prior to surgical intervention.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Knee arthroplasty (KA) is an effective and cost-effective treatment for end-stage knee osteoarthritis. Despite high surgical success rates, as many as 25% of patients report compromised postoperative functioning, persistent pain, and reduced quality of life. The purpose of this study was to assess the predictive value of psychological factors in health functioning and quality of life, during a 6-month period after KA. DESIGN A prospective observational study. SETTING Surgery at two hospitals and follow-up was carried out through the domiciliary rehabilitation service. SUBJECTS In total, 89 patients (age 70.27 ± 7.99 years) met the inclusion criteria. METHOD A test battery composed of Health functioning associated with osteoarthritis (WOMAC), Health-related quality of life (EQ-5D-5L), Anxiety and Depression (HADS), Pain attitudes (SOPA-B), Pain catastrophizing (PCS), and Fear of Movement (TSK-11) was assessed at 1 week, and 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery. A mixed effects linear model was used to estimate the effect of time and covariates. An exploratory factor analysis was used to identify the number of dimensions underlying the group of psychological measurements. RESULTS In WOMAC model, anxiety level (F = 120.8), PCS (F = 103.9), depression level (F = 93.6) and pain score (F = 72.8) were the most influential variables. Regarding EQ-5D-5L model, anxiety level (F = 98.5), PCS (F = 79.8), depression level (F = 78.3) and pain score (F = 45) were the most influential variables. Pain score and the psychosocial variables of PCS, TSK, HADS-A, HADS-D, SOPA-B Emotion, SOPA-B Harm and SOPA-B Disability loaded in one single dimension. CONCLUSIONS Postoperative acute pain and psychosocial factors of pain catastrophizing, anxiety, depression, and pain attitudes might influence health functioning and quality of life during KA rehabilitation. Such factors could be gathered into one single dimension defined as pain-related psychologic distress.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Non-surgical factors have been found to have significant impact on outcome following Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). The study was conducted to know the independent effect of each of the four interacting psychological factors: anxiety, depression, pain catastrophizing and kinesiophobia on early outcome following TKA in an Indian population. MATERIALS AND METHODS 104 consecutive patients undergoing TKA were included in the study and followed up at 6 weeks, 6 months and one year. Preoperatively, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale was used to diagnose and quantify anxiety and depression, pain catastrophizing and kinesiophobia were assessed using Pain Catastrophizing Scale and Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia, respectively. Outcome was assessed on the basis of Knee Society Score and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score. Regression analysis was done to know independent effect of each factor on outcome scores. RESULTS Nine (8.7%) patients were found to have undiagnosed psychopathology. The patients with psychopathologies were found to have significantly worse knee outcome scores on follow-up, although the rate of improvement in knee symptoms and function was not significantly different from those without psychopathology. The degree of Anxiety correlated with worse knee pain and stiffness up to 6 months while it correlated with poor knee function for a longer duration. The degree of depression and pain catastrophizing correlated with worse knee pain, stiffness and function at all visits while kinesiophobia didn't show correlation independent other factors. CONCLUSION Psychopathology was found to be associated poor knee outcome scores with degree of preoperative depression and pain catastrophizing as significant independent predictors as poor outcome, whereas the effect of degree of anxiety on knee pain and stiffness was found to wane over time. Kinesiophobia didn't show any independent correlation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Forty percent of patients continue to use opioids at 3 months after joint arthroplasty. We sought to identify clinical and psychological risk factors associated with prolonged opioid use. METHODS In this prospective study, psychological profile data were collected preoperatively. Prolonged use was defined as dispensation of an opioid after 90 days. Logistic regressions were used for univariate and multivariate modeling and to create receiver operating characteristic curves. A backward stepwise regression analysis was used to select significant factors in the multivariable model. RESULTS The study included 258 patients (163 total knee arthroplasty, 95 total hip arthroplasty). 29.84% of patients were on preoperative opioids and 14% (37 of 258) of patients had prolonged use of opioids. In the univariate analysis, age <65, associated back pain, chronic pain syndrome or fibromyalgia, prior opioid use, drug potency of more than 10 morphine equivalent, and total score on Opioid Risk Tool of more than 7 were associated with prolong use. In the multivariate analysis, age <65, associated back pain, chronic pain, and preoperative use of opioids were significant risk factors for prolonged use (combined area under the curve = 0.83). Preoperative opioid use had the highest area under the curve = 0.72 (P = .0005). Psychological profile tests did not predict prolonged opioid use. CONCLUSION Preoperative opioid use was the strongest predictor of postoperative prolonged opioid use. Younger age, associated backpain, and chronic pain syndrome were the other identified risk factors. Screening tools to detect aberrant drug-related behavior may be more helpful than those for depression or pain catastrophizing.

Abstract
Osteoporotic fractures are common among older people, and hip fractures (HF) can be devastating. Surgery is indicated for most cases of HF, and chronic persistent postoperative pain is likely to occur. This study investigated the multifaceted factors related to persistent pain occurring during the acute phase and subacute phase of recovery after HF surgery. We conducted a prospective 8-week study of older HF patients after surgery. We evaluated pain intensity, depression symptoms, the fear of falling, pain catastrophizing, cognition and attention, the ability to perform activities of daily living, and the physical performance at 2 weeks (acute phase) and at 4 weeks (subacute phase) after surgery. Patients were divided into the light group (Verbal Rating Scale (VRS) score ≤1) and severe group (VRS score ≥2) according to pain intensity at 8 weeks (recovery phase) after surgery. Factors affecting persistent postoperative pain during recovery were examined using logistic regression analysis. Seventy-two patients were analyzed: 50 in the light group and 22 in the severe group. In the severe group, pain with movement and Pain Catastrophizing Scale scores were higher than those of the light group at 2 weeks and at 4 weeks after surgery. The regression analysis showed that pain with movement at 2 weeks and at 4 weeks after surgery and pain catastrophizing at 4 weeks after surgery were related to persistent postoperative pain. HF patients may have persistent pain if they continue to experience pain and catastrophize their pain during the acute phase and subacute phase after surgery.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Persistent post-surgical pain is common among patients undergoing surgery, is detrimental to patients' quality of life, and can precipitate long-term opioid use. The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to assess the effects of a behavioral intervention offered prior to surgery for patients at risk for poor post-surgical outcomes, including persistent pain and impaired functioning. METHODS Described herein is an ongoing randomized, patient- and assessor-blind, attention-controlled multisite clinical trial. Four hundred and thirty Veterans indicated for total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with distress and/or pain will be recruited for this study. Participants will be randomly assigned to a one-day (~5 h) Acceptance and Commitment Therapy workshop or one-day education and attention control workshop. Approximately two weeks following their TKA surgery, patients receive an individualized booster session via phone. Following their TKA, patients complete assessments at 1 week, 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months. RESULTS The primary outcomes are pain intensity and knee-specific functioning; secondary outcomes are symptoms of distress and coping skills. Mediation analyses will examine whether changes in symptoms of distress and coping skills have an impact on pain and functioning at 6 months in Veterans receiving ACT. This study is conducted mostly with older Veterans; therefore, results may not generalize to women and younger adults who are underrepresented in this veteran population. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study will provide the first evidence from a large-scale, patient- and assessor-blind controlled trial on the effectiveness of a brief behavioral intervention for the prevention of persistent post-surgical pain and dysfunction.

Abstract
Background Moderate/severe pain after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a poor surgical outcome. Many studies have identified preoperative risk factors of pain after TKA, but studies of the joint contributions of co‐occurring symptoms are lacking. Methods Patients undergoing primary TKA (n = 202) were enrolled in a longitudinal cohort study. Preoperatively, patients completed questionnaires measuring demographics and symptoms (pain, fatigue, sleep problems and depression). Pain was re‐assessed 12 months after TKA. Logistic regression analysis was used to compute the probabilities of moderate‐severe pain at 12 months based on preoperative symptom levels, and results were combined into a risk matrix. Results More than one‐third (40%) of patients (n = 187) reported moderate‐severe pain after TKA. Among preoperative risk factors included in the logistic regression analyses were age, sex, pain, fatigue, sleep problems and depression. Adjusting for possible confounders, fatigue (p = 0.02) and pain (p = 0.01) were significant risk factors for moderate‐severe pain at 12‐months follow‐up and were retained in the final risk matrix. The co‐occurrence of high‐preoperative fatigue and pain scores resulted in 57% estimated probability of moderate‐severe pain at 12 months. Similarly, the co‐occurrence of low‐preoperative fatigue and pain scores resulted in 14% estimated probability of moderate‐severe pain 12 months after TKA. Conclusion The combination of high fatigue and pain scores prior to surgery was a key risk factor for moderate‐severe pain 12 months after TKA. Mapping of these factors could be used preoperatively to identify patients who are at risk to experience a poor outcome of TKA.

Decrease of Quality of Life, Functional Assessment and Associated Psychological Distress in Patients with Hypoallergenic Total Knee Arthroplasty. J Clin Med 2020; 9:jcm9103270. [PMID: 33053865 PMCID: PMC7601743 DOI: 10.3390/jcm9103270] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2020] [Revised: 09/26/2020] [Accepted: 10/09/2020] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the final treatment for knee osteoarthritis, and 15-30% of patients show little or no improvement. This high percentage is related to aspects of the surgical technique, the selected implant, and specific patient characteristics. The aim of this study was to analyze whether there are differences in quality of life (QoL) and functional capacity among patients undergoing TKA with conventional implants compared to those treated with hypoallergenic oxinium implants. A pragmatic clinical study was carried out that included patients who underwent TKA between January 2013 and December 2015. During this period, 245 knees in 228 patients were treated. Eleven patients were excluded, leaving a sample of 161 conventionally treated knees, 72 knees treated with hypoallergenic implants, and one patient who received both implant types. In all patients, QoL and functional capacity were measured with the WOMAC index, the SF-12 questionnaire, and the Euro-Qol-5D L-VAS. We also assessed the psychological distress of each patient and related the findings to the functional results. The differences in QoL were tested using ANCOVA and propensity score matching (PSM) models adjusted for sex, age, weight, psychiatric history and associated complications. Patients who underwent TKA using conventional prostheses had significantly better scores on the total WOMAC index and in the pain domain (p < 0.05) than those who received hypoallergenic prostheses, but no significant differences were observed for the other domains in the ANCOVA. In contrast, with the PSM, we also found statistically significant differences in the difficulty domain of the WOMAC. Significant differences were found for the SF-12 mental health questionnaire results (p = 0.038), but the same did not occur for the physical health domain in the ANCOVA and PSM. We also found statistically significant differences in the Euro-Qol-5D index results (p = 0.041), but not in the VAS scale scores for the same questionnaire in the ANCOVA, and we did not find significant differences in either with the PSM. Patients with metal allergies and those who present psychological distress had WOMAC, SF-12, and Euro-Qol-5D results that were statistically significantly worse than those of patients who received conventional implants. Patients who underwent hypoallergic TKA had lower scores on the QoL and functional capacity scales than patients who received conventional Cr-Co implants. Additionally, patients with psychological distress had worse results on the questionnaires, and those with a metal allergy had even lower scores; the differences were statistically significant.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the association of preoperative psychosocial and demographic factors with total knee arthroplasty (TKA) outcomes and satisfaction in patients with osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee at 24 months after surgery. Methods A prospective cohort study of patients undergoing TKA was conducted. Outcome measures included: Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and Short Form 36 (SF‐36) scores at baseline and 24 months after surgery, and patient satisfaction with TKA at 24 months. Linear regression models were performed to evaluate the association of preoperative psychosocial determinants (ie, Medical Outcome Study Social Support Scale; Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale; Brief COPE inventory, The Life Orientation Test‐Revised; Multidimensional Health Locus of Control; and Arthritis Self‐Efficacy Scale) on outcomes. Results We included 178 patients. Increasing WOMAC pain scores at 24 months were associated with increasing age and body mass index (BMI); low tangible social support and low optimism were associated with higher levels of pain (R2 = 0.15). A decrease in WOMAC function scores was also associated with older age and higher BMI; low tangible support, increased stress, and low optimism were also associated with worse function (R2 = 0.22). When evaluating quality of life, lower SF‐36 physical functioning scores at 24 months were associated with age, high BMI, and comorbidity (R2 = 0.34). Lower SF‐36 mental functioning scores were associated with depression and low optimism (R2 = 0.38). Having a dysfunctional style of coping was associated with lower satisfaction with surgery after 24 months (adjusted R2 = 0.12). Conclusion Psychosocial factors, such as tangible support, depression, dysfunctional coping, and optimism, were associated with pain, function, and satisfaction 2 years after TKA. Perioperative programs identifying and addressing psychosocial problems may result in improvements in pain and function after TKA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Research on the role of trait versus state characteristics of a variety of measures among persons experiencing pain has been a focus for the past few decades. Studying the trait versus state nature of the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS) and the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-8) depression scale would be highly informative given both are commonly measured in pain populations and neither scale has been studied for trait/state contributions. METHODS The PHQ-8 and PCS were obtained on persons undergoing knee arthroplasty at baseline, 2-, 6- and 12-month post-surgery (N = 402). The multi-trait generalization of the latent trait-state model was used to partition trait and state variability in PCS and PHQ-8 item responses simultaneously. A set of variables were used to predict trait catastrophizing and trait depression. RESULTS For total scores, the latent traits and latent states explain 63.2% (trait = 43.2%; state = 20.0%) and 50.2% (trait = 29.4%; state = 20.8%) of the variability in PCS and PHQ-8, respectively. Patients with a high number of bodily pain sites, high levels of anxiety, young patients and African-American patients had high levels of trait catastrophizing and trait depression. The PCS and the PHQ-8 consist of both enduring trait and dynamic state characteristics, with trait characteristics dominating for both measures. CONCLUSION Clinicians and researchers using these scales should not assume the obtained measurements solely reflect either trait- or state-based characteristics. SIGNIFICANCE Clinicians and researchers using the PCS or PHQ-8 scales are measuring both state and trait characteristics and not just trait- or state-based characteristics.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pain catastrophizing and widespread pain are predictors of pain chronicity/severity. Gaps remain in our understanding of the extent to which each is a stable (trait) or dynamic (state) variable. We undertook this study to assess the stability of each variable from before to after total knee replacement (TKR) and whether changes are explained by pain improvements. METHODS We used data from a prospective study of TKR recipients ages ≥40 years. Questionnaires included body pain diagrams assessing widespread pain, the Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), and the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain subscale. We divided subjects into widespread pain groups (0 versus 1-2 versus ≥3 pain regions) and into low and high PCS score groups (<16 versus ≥16). We assessed changes in group membership from pre-TKR to 12 months post-TKR, then compared these changes between subjects with most and least WOMAC pain improvement. RESULTS A total of 176 subjects completed scales at both time points; 64% were female, the mean age was 66 years, and baseline median WOMAC pain score was 40. In all, 71% of subjects in the high PCS score group improved to join the low PCS score group at follow-up. While 73 subjects (41%) changed widespread pain group, they were similarly likely to worsen and to improve. We found a statistically significant positive association of improvement in WOMAC pain score with improvement in PCS score (r = 0.31), but not widespread pain (r = -0.004). CONCLUSION The PCS score reflects state-like aspects of catastrophizing that diminish along with pain. In contrast, widespread pain scores worsened and improved equally often, regardless of knee pain relief. The findings urge caution in interpreting PCS score and widespread pain as trait measures in musculoskeletal research.
