[PMID: 38823588 DOI: 10.1016/j.jad.2024.05.165] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2024] [Revised: 05/20/2024] [Accepted: 05/28/2024] [Indexed: 06/03/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the potential mediating role of the neurofilament light chain (NfL) level between depressive symptoms and cognitive function in older population. METHODS A total of 495 adults (age ≥60 years) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) participated in this study. Cognitive function was assessed using a combination of the Animal Fluency Test (AFT), the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer's Disease (CERAD) and the Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST). Word List Learning Test. Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) was used to assess depressive symptoms. Data on serum NfL(sNfL) were collected. Multiple linear regressions and mediation analysis were utilized to examine the associations. RESULTS After adjusting for potential confounding factors, the proportions mediated by the sNfL level between depressive symptoms and cognitive function was 19.65 %. The indirect effect mediated by the sNfL level between depressive symptoms and cognitive function was significant (β[95 % CI]:-0.0089 [-0.0191, -0.0017],p = 0.040), while the direct effect in the absence of sNfL was non-significant (β[95 % CI]: -0.0365 [-0.0739 0.0008],p = 0.055). LIMITATIONS This is an explorative cross-sectional study with its limits in generalizability and ability to establish definitive causal associations. The results should be interpreted with caution due to the constraints imposed by the characteristics of the population with a relatively low overall level of depressive symptoms. CONCLUSION The sNfL level, depressive symptoms, and cognitive decline are interconnected, and the sNfL level could mediate the relationship between depressive symptoms and cognitive decline among older adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Within the perioperative period, depression-related diagnoses are associated with postoperative complications. We developed a perioperative depression screening programme to assess disease prevalence and feasibility for intervention. METHODS Adult patients in multiple surgical departments at a single academic centre were screened for depression via the electronic health record patient portal or preoperative anaesthesia clinic before surgery, using the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ)-2 and -8. We utilised a broad method, screening all patients, and a focused method, only screening patients with a history of depression. Logistic regression was used to identify characteristics associated with clinically significant depression (PHQ-8 ≥10). Symptomatic patients were administered a brief psychoeducational intervention and referred for mental health services. RESULTS A total of 3735 patients were identified by the broad and focused screens, of whom 2940 (79%) returned PHQ-2 data and were included in analysis. The broad screen (N=1216) found 46 (4%) patients who reported symptoms of moderate or greater severity. The focused screen (N=1724) found 242 (14%) patients with symptoms of moderate or greater severity and over all higher rates of depression across the symptom severity scale. Using the total screened pool, logistic regression identified a history of depression as the strongest associated patient characteristic variable but this did not capture most cases. Finally, we found that 66% of patients who were contacted about mental health services accepted referrals or sought outside care. CONCLUSIONS At least 4% of preoperative patients have clinically significant symptoms of depression, most of whom do not have a chart history of depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Older surgical patients with depression often experience poor postoperative outcomes. Poor outcomes may stem from brain-hazardous medications and subadequate antidepressant dosing. METHODS This was a retrospective, observational cohort study covering the period between January 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021. Patients ≥60 years of age who underwent inpatient surgery and had an overnight stay at an integrated academic health care system comprising 14 hospitals were eligible. We analyzed the prevalence of home central nervous system (CNS)-active potentially inappropriate medication (PIM) and potential subadequate antidepressant dosing in older surgical patients receiving home antidepressants. Univariable and multivariable regression models were used to identify factors associated with home CNS-active PIM prescribing and potential subadequate antidepressant dosing. Additionally, outcomes were compared among patients receiving and not receiving CNS-active PIMs and patients receiving and not receiving subadequate antidepressant dosing. RESULTS A total of 8031 patients were included in this study (47% female, mean age = 70 years) of whom 2087 (26%) were prescribed antidepressants. Roughly one-half (49%, 95% confidence interval [CI], 46.5-50.1) of patients receiving home antidepressants were also receiving ≥1 CNS-active PIM and 29% (95% CI, 27.0-29.3) were receiving a potential subadequate dose. Factors associated with an increased likelihood of receiving a home CNS-active PIM included female sex (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 1.46), anxiety (aOR, 2.43), asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (aOR, 1.39), and serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor use (aOR, 1.54). Patients aged ≥75 years (aOR, 1.57), black race (aOR, 1.48) and those with congestive heart failure (aOR, 1.33) were more likely to be prescribed a potential subadequate antidepressant dose. Patients receiving potential subadequate antidepressant doses were discharged home less often (64% vs 73%), had a longer hospital length of stay (9 days vs 7 days), and a higher mortality rate (18% vs 10%) compared to patients receiving adequate home antidepressant doses (P-value for all <0.01). No differences in these outcomes were found among patients receiving home antidepressants with or without CNS-active PIMs. CONCLUSIONS Older surgical patients receiving antidepressants are frequently prescribed brain-hazardous medications and potentially subadequate antidepressant doses. Those receiving subadequate antidepressant doses may be at risk for worse postoperative outcomes compared to patients receiving adequate doses. The role of preoperative medication optimization to improve outcomes for older surgical patients should be evaluated.

Abstract
STUDY OBJECTIVE Depression is a common cause of long-lasting disability and preoperative mental health state that has important implications for optimizing recovery in the perioperative period. In older elective surgical patients, the prevalence of preoperative depression and associated adverse pre- and postoperative outcomes are unknown. This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to determine the prevalence of preoperative depression and the associated adverse outcomes in the older surgical population. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. SETTING MEDLINE, MEDLINE Epub Ahead of Print and In-Process, In-Data-Review & Other Non-Indexed Citations, Embase/Embase Classic, Cochrane CENTRAL, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, ClinicalTrials.Gov, the WHO ICTRP (International Clinical Trials Registry Platform) for relevant articles from 2000 to present. PATIENTS Patients aged ≥65 years old undergoing non-cardiac elective surgery with preoperative depression assessed by tools validated in older adults. These validated tools include the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS), Hospital Depression and Anxiety Scale (HADS), Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), and the Centre for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale (CESD). INTERVENTIONS Preoperative assessment. MEASUREMENT The primary outcome was the prevalence of preoperative depression. Additional outcomes included preoperative cognitive impairment, and postoperative outcomes such as delirium, functional decline, discharge disposition, readmission, length of stay, and postoperative complications. MAIN RESULTS Thirteen studies (n = 2824) were included. Preoperative depression was most assessed using the Geriatric Depression Scale-15 (GDS-15) (n = 12). The overall prevalence of preoperative depression was 23% (95% CI: 15%, 30%). Within non-cancer non-cardiac mixed surgery, the pooled prevalence was 19% (95% CI: 11%, 27%). The prevalence in orthopedic surgery was 17% (95% CI: 9%, 24%). In spine surgery, the prevalence was higher at 46% (95% CI: 28%, 64%). Meta-analysis showed that preoperative depression was associated with a two-fold increased risk of postoperative delirium than those without depression (32% vs 23%, OR: 2.25; 95% CI: 1.67, 3.03; I2: 0%; P ≤0.00001). CONCLUSIONS The overall prevalence of older surgical patients who suffered from depression was 23%. Preoperative depression was associated with a two-fold higher risk of postoperative delirium. Further work is needed to determine the need for depression screening and treatment preoperatively.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Female patients frequently experience worse clinical outcomes than male patients after undergoing vascular surgery procedures. However, it is unclear whether these sex-based disparities also impact mental health outcomes. This study was designed to investigate sex differences in patient-reported outcome measures of depression for patients undergoing vascular surgery. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 107 patients (73 males and 34 females) who underwent vascular surgery procedures between January 2016 and April 2023. These patients completed a Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Item Bank v1.0-Depression assessment 90 d before surgery and at least once after surgery. After stratifying patients by sex, we analyzed changes in PROMIS depression scores using a multiple mixed-effects linear regression model. Then, logistic regression was used to compare the proportion of patients who achieved a clinically meaningful difference in PROMIS depression score within 15 mo after surgery. RESULTS There was no significant difference between female and male patients among rates of complications, length of hospital stay, or rates of nonhome discharge. However, female sex was associated with significantly improved PROMIS depression scores after surgery compared to male sex (P = 0.034). Furthermore, female patients were over 3-fold more likely than male patients to reach the minimal clinically important difference threshold for improvement in PROMIS depression scores (odds ratio 4.66, 95% confidence interval 1.39-15.61). CONCLUSIONS These results suggest that female sex is associated with improved patient-reported measures of depression after undergoing vascular surgery. Clinicians should consider these mental health benefits when evaluating female patients for vascular interventions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Perioperative mental health of older Black surgical patients is associated with poor surgical outcomes; however, evidence-based perioperative interventions are lacking. Our two study objectives included: first, examine factors affecting perioperative care experiences of older Black surgical patients with mental health problems, and second, ascertain design and implementation requirements for a culturally-adapted perioperative mental health intervention. DESIGN SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS We conducted six focus groups with older Black patients (n = 15; ≥50 years; surgery within the past 5 years and/or interest in mental health research; history of distress, anxiety, or depression coping with surgery/hospitalization/) from a large academic medical center. We engaged study partners, including interventionists and community members, to gather insights on intervention and implementation needs. We followed a hybrid inductive-deductive thematic approach using open coding and the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Framework. RESULTS Patients reported that their psychological well-being and long-term mental health outcomes were not appropriately considered during perioperative care. Perceived stressors included interpersonal and structural barriers to using mental healthcare services, clinician treatment biases and ageism in care, and lack of healthcare professional connections/resources. Patients utilized various coping strategies, including talk therapy, faith/spirituality, and family and friends. CONCLUSION This study offers valuable insights into the experiences of older Black surgical patients and the critical elements for developing a personalized perioperative mental health intervention to support their well-being before, during, and after surgery. Our findings demonstrated a need for a patient-centered and culturally adapted intervention targeting the individual/behavioral and interpersonal levels. Informed by the cultural adaptation framework, we propose a multi-component intervention that integrates psychological and pharmacological components.

Abstract
Background Despite greater appreciation for the importance of frailty in surgical patients, due to improved understanding that frailty is often linked to poor outcomes, the optimal method of assessment remains unknown. In this study, we sought to evaluate the prevalence of frailty in patients considered for elective thoracic surgery and to test the ability of several frailty measurements to predict postoperative outcomes. Methods Patients included were candidates for major elective thoracic surgery. Preoperative assessment of frailty included the Fried frailty phenotype, the Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS), the modified frailty index (mFI), the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS), and additional components of frailty. Outcome data include days with chest drain, length of hospital stay, and postoperative adverse events. Results According to the Fried frailty phenotype, 53% of 94 patients included were prefrail or frail. A significant association between frailty and postoperative complications was found (odds ratio 7.65; P=0.001). No association between CFS, mFI, EFS, and complications was observed. The Frailty Phenotype seemed the most accurate in predicting postoperative complications, with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.77. Twenty-seven percent of patients meet the criteria for depression according to the Geriatric Depression Scale and they showed a higher risk of postoperative complications (OR 2.47; P=0.03). A lower psoas muscle index was associated with a higher risk of complications (OR 3.40; P=0.04). Conclusions According to our results, the Fried frailty phenotype seems the most accurate tool to test frailty in patients undergoing thoracic resections. Surgeons should be aware that, although these aspects are not routinely tested, they are potential targets to improve clinical outcomes. Studies on additional interventions specifically targeting frail people in the setting of elective thoracic surgery are required.

Abstract
Introduction: The relationship between psychiatric disorders, including depression, and invasive interventions has been a topic of debate in recent literature. While these conditions can impact the quality of life and subjective perceptions of surgical outcomes, the literature lacks consensus regarding the association between depression and objective perioperative medical and surgical complications, especially in the neurosurgical domain. Methods: MEDLINE (PubMed), EMBASE, PsycINFO, and the Cochrane Library were queried in a comprehensive manner from inception until 10 November 2023, with no language restrictions, for citations investigating the association between depression and length of hospitalization, medical and surgical complications, and objective postoperative outcomes including readmission, reoperation, and non-routine discharge in patients undergoing spine surgery. Results: A total of 26 articles were considered in this systematic review. Upon pooled analysis of the primary outcome, statistically significantly higher rates were observed for several complications, including delirium (OR:1.92), deep vein thrombosis (OR:3.72), fever (OR:6.34), hematoma formation (OR:4.7), hypotension (OR:4.32), pulmonary embolism (OR:3.79), neurological injury (OR:6.02), surgical site infection (OR:1.36), urinary retention (OR:4.63), and urinary tract infection (OR:1.72). While readmission (OR:1.35) and reoperation (OR:2.22) rates, as well as non-routine discharge (OR:1.72) rates, were significantly higher in depressed patients, hospitalization length was comparable to non-depressed controls. Conclusions: The results of this review emphasize the significant increase in complications and suboptimal outcomes noted in patients with depression undergoing spinal surgery. Although a direct causal relationship may not be established, addressing psychiatric aspects in patient care is crucial for providing comprehensive medical attention.

Abstract
Depression is a significant factor contributing to postoperative occurrences, and patients diagnosed with depression have a higher risk for postoperative complications. Studies on cardiovascular surgery extensively addresses this concern. Several studies report that people who undergo coronary artery bypass graft surgery have a 20% chance of developing postoperative depression. A retrospective analysis of medical records spanning 21 years, involving 817 patients, revealed that approximately 40% o individuals undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) were at risk of perioperative depression. Patients endure prolonged suffering from illness because each attempt with standard antidepressants requires several weeks to be effective. In addition, multi-drug combination adjuvants or combination medication therapy may alleviate symptoms for some individuals, but they also increase the risk of side effects. Conventional antidepressants primarily modulate the monoamine system, whereas different therapies target the serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine systems. Esketamine is a fast-acting antidepressant with high efficacy. Esketamine is the S-enantiomer of ketamine, a derivative of phencyclidine developed in 1956. Esketamine exerts its effect by targeting the glutaminergic system the glutaminergic system. In this paper, we discuss the current depression treatment strategies with a focus on the pharmacology and mechanism of action of esketamine. In addition, studies reporting use of esketamine to treat perioperative depressive symptoms are reviwed, and the potential future applications of the drug are presented.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Whether ketamine used in the perioperative period reduces the risk of postoperative depressive symptoms remains uncertain. We conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the clinical efficacy of ketamine in adult surgical patients. METHODS Two investigators independently systematically searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), Medline, Web of Science, and PsycINFO databases using a combination of relevant Medical Subject Headings terms and free-text keywords from database inception through May 24, 2023. RESULTS 29 studies encompassing 5327 patients were included. The pooled analysis demonstrated that the ketamine group had no significantly reduced incidence of postoperative depressive mood compared with the control group, with trial sequential analysis (TSA) inconclusive. However, postoperative depression scale scores were significantly decreased in the ketamine group. LIMITATIONS Most randomized controlled trials of surgical patients have included depression scale scores as the primary outcome. The incidence of postoperative depressive has been assessed as a secondary outcome or has not been assessed. In addition, non-uniform assessment scales have introduced greater heterogeneity. More rigorous methods and higher-quality evidence for further research are needed to better understand the effects of ketamine on perioperative depression in surgical anesthesia. CONCLUSIONS Current evidence suggests that ketamine cannot significantly decrease the incidence of postoperative depressive mood in adult surgical patients. However, ketamine can reduce postoperative depression scores. PROSPERO registration: CRD42023431566.

Abstract
PURPOSE Much of the current literature on total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) has assessed the impact of preoperative medical comorbidities on postoperative clinical outcomes. The literature concerning the impact of psychological disorders such as depression on TSA has increased in popularity in recent years, but there lacks a thorough review of the influence of depression on postoperative pain and functional outcomes. METHODS We queried PubMed/MEDLINE and identified six clinical studies that evaluated the influence of a psychiatric diagnosis of depression on patient outcomes after TSA. Studies that discussed the impacts of depression on TSA, including PROs or adverse events in adults, were included. Studies focused on other psychologic pathology, non-TSA shoulder treatments, or TSA not for primary osteoarthritis were excluded. Non-clinical studies, systematic reviews, letters to the editor, commentaries, dissertations, books, and book chapters were excluded. RESULTS Three cohort studies described patient-reported pain and functional outcomes and three database studies assessed the risk of postoperative complications. Cohort studies demonstrated that the prevalence of depression in patients undergoing TSA decreased from preoperatively to 12-months postoperatively. Two studies demonstrated that depression is an independent predictor of less pre- to postoperative improvement in the ASES score at minimum 2-year follow-up; however, one study found the difference between patients with and without depression did not exceed the minimum clinically important difference. Database studies demonstrated that depression was associated with higher rates of blood transfusion (n = 1, OR = 1.8), anemia (n = 1, OR = 1.65), wound infection (n = 2, OR = 1.41-2.09), prosthetic revision (n = 1, OR = 1.92), and length of hospital stay (n = 3, LOS = 2.5-3 days). CONCLUSION Although patients with a preoperative diagnosis of depression undergoing TSA can achieve satisfactory relief of shoulder pain and restoration of function, they may experience poorer patient-reported outcomes and a higher risk of postoperative adverse events compared to their peers. Surgeons should be cognizant of the influence of depression in their patients to facilitate proper patient selection that maximizes patient satisfaction, function, and minimizes the risk of adverse events following TSA.

Abstract
Mental health has been shown to play an important role in patient-reported outcomes (PRO); however, there is a general lack of literature describing patient-reported outcome measurement information system (PROMIS) depression and anxiety computer adaptive tests in elective knee surgery patients. The purpose of our study was to assess the prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms before and after elective knee surgery and to determine whether these symptoms influence postoperative functional outcomes. An institutional review board-approved prospective orthopaedic registry was retrospectively queried for patients undergoing elective knee surgery from June 2015 to November 2018. Electronic surveys collecting patient demographic information and PROs were administered pre- and postoperatively. Of the 663 patients that completed baseline questionnaires, 466 completed 2-year follow-up (70.3%). PROs included PROMIS depression, PROMIS anxiety, International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Form (IKDC), and PROMIS physical function (PF). Wilcoxon rank sum and Spearman's rank order correlation were utilized to determine associations between variables. Multivariable analysis was used to control for confounding variables. Average PROMIS depression and anxiety scores significantly improved 2 years after surgery. PROMIS depression and anxiety scores significantly correlated with each other. PROMIS depression and anxiety scores significantly correlated with PROMIS PF and IKDC scores. After controlling for confounders on multivariable analysis, worse 2-year PROMIS anxiety was predictive of less functional improvement and worse 2-year PF and IKDC, while worse 2-year PROMIS depression was predictive of less improvement in IKDC. This study confirms the important relationship between mental health and functional outcomes. Given that psychiatric comorbidities are potentially modifiable with treatment, proper recognition could potentially lead to better orthopaedic outcomes. In addition, the prevalence of depression and anxiety symptoms postoperatively, as documented by PROMIS computer adaptive tests, may act as a barrier to achieving optimal functional outcomes after elective knee surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III.

Efficacy and safety of esketamine for perioperative depression in patients undergoing elective surgery: A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. Asian J Psychiatr 2024; 95:103997.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is a prevalent mood disorder during the perioperative period, with both preoperative concurrent depression and new-onset postoperative depression impacting postoperative recovery. Recent studies have indicated that the dissociative anesthetic esketamine may alleviate perioperative depressive symptoms. OBJECTIVE This meta-analysis aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of esketamine in treating perioperative depression. METHODS We selected randomized controlled trials comparing esketamine to placebo in terms of postoperative depressive symptoms. The primary outcome was postoperative depression scores, with secondary outcomes including the prevalence of postoperative depression, pain scores using the Visual Analogue Scale or Numeric Rating Scale, and incidences of adverse reactions such as nausea/vomiting, dizziness, dreams/nightmares, hallucinations. RESULTS We enrolled a total of 17 studies involving 2462 patients. The esketamine group demonstrated a significant reduction in postoperative depression scores within one week after surgery (SMD -0.47, 95% CI (-0.66, -0.27), P < 0.001) and over the long term (SMD -0.44, 95% CI (-0.79, -0.09), P = 0.01). Furthermore, esketamine significantly decreased the prevalence of postoperative depression both within one week (RR 0.46, 95% CI (0.33, 0.63), P < 0.001) and over the long term (RR 0.50, 95% CI (0.36, 0.70), P < 0.001). Additionally, esketamine effectively relieved pain on the first postoperative day compared to control. However, it also increased the risks of dizziness and hallucinations for a short time. CONCLUSION This meta-analysis suggests that the intraoperative or postoperative application of esketamine could be a potentially effective treatment for perioperative depression, although the increased risk of adverse reactions should be considered.

Abstract
Several psychosocial factors can impact surgical outcomes and overall patient wellbeing following surgery. Although advances in surgical interventions and pain management protocols can reduce surgical trauma and enhance recovery from surgery, additional intervention is warranted to optimize surgical outcomes and patient quality of life (QoL) in the short- and long-term. Research on mindfulness techniques suggests that mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) effectively promote health behaviors, reduce pain, and improve psychological wellbeing and QoL. Thus, there has been an increase in research evaluating the use of MBIs to improve postoperative outcomes and wellbeing in surgical patients. The authors provide a brief overview of psychosocial outcomes of surgery and MBIs and review the literature on the impact of MBIs on postoperative outcomes. The extant literature indicates that MBIs are feasible and acceptable for use in surgical patient populations and provides preliminary evidence of the benefits of mindfulness across a range of surgical patient populations. However, more research is needed to assess the long-term efficacy of MBIs delivered online and in-person across the perioperative continuum.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This qualitative study aimed to explore the challenges faced by older adults regarding the postoperative symptom experience after major elective surgery. BACKGROUND Although extensively studied in oncology settings, the impact of postoperative symptom burden remains largely underexplored in elective major surgery among older adults. METHODS We employed convenience sampling to recruit adults aged 65 years or above undergoing major elective surgery at the University of California, San Francisco. Semistructured interviews regarding the surgical experience were conducted at 1 and 3 months postoperatively. An inductive qualitative approach was used to identify emerging themes. Symptoms revealed by participants during interviews were also captured. RESULTS Nineteen participants completed a 1-month postoperative interview, and 17 additionally completed a 3-month interview. Three themes emerged: (1) postoperative symptoms significantly impacted valued life activities and psychosocial well-being, (2) participants felt "caught off guard" by the intensity and duration of postoperative symptoms, and (3) participants expressed the need for additional support, resources, and education on symptom management. The most frequently mentioned symptoms were postoperative pain (n=12, 63.1%), gastrointestinal discomfort (n=8, 42.1%), and anxiety/stress (n=8, 42.1%) at 1-month postsurgery compared with pain and depression (both n=6, 35.3%) at 3 months. CONCLUSIONS Study participants were surprised by the negative impact of postoperative symptoms on their psychosocial well-being and ability to engage in valued life activities. Symptom burden is an important patient-reported outcome that should be assessed postoperatively. Interventions to minimize postoperative symptom burden in older adults could optimize quality of life and participation in meaningful activities during surgical recovery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The gold standard treatment for periprosthetic joint infections is the two-stage revision that includes the spacer placement before definitive reimplantation. The management of PJI affects patients' joint function and, subsequently, their mental health. Even though significant advances have been achieved, little to no attention has been paid to the psychological implications. So, based on standardized patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), this study aimed to clarify the effect of spacer treatment of infected hip and knee arthroplasties on patients' mental health. METHODS We performed research on the literature on PJIs in the English language using the MEDLINE database with the search strings "spacer" OR "spacers" AND "hip" OR "knee" AND "SF-12" OR "SF-36" OR "EQ-5" OR "mental" OR "depression" OR "anxiety." The reference lists of selected articles were also hand-searched for any additional articles. RESULTS A total of 973 published papers were extracted, and 9 papers were finally included. A total of 384 patients who underwent spacer placement for PJI were identified. Of these 384 patients, 54% were female. The mean age ranged from 62 to 78.2 years. Of the11 papers identified for this review, 4 analyzed only hip spacers, including 119 patients; 4 only knee spacers, evaluating 153 patients; while a single study included 112 patients for both joints. CONCLUSIONS Patients with the spacer are living in a state of mental upset, albeit better than the preoperative state. Clinical improvement with the review is not assured. The alteration of mental state turns out not to be transient for all the patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Although cataract surgery has been proposed as a potentially modifiable protective factor for enhancing emotional well-being in cataract patients, studies examining the relationship between anxiety or depression and cataract surgery have yielded inconsistent findings. This review summarizes existing evidence to establish whether cataract surgery is associated with depression and anxiety in older adults. METHODS A literature search was conducted across PubMed, Medline, Web of Science, and Embase databases. An initial screening by abstracts and titles was performed, followed by a review and assessment of the methodological quality of the relevant full papers, and final inclusion of 44 studies were deemed eligible for inclusion in this review. RESULTS Among 44 included studies, 36 studies (81.8%) were observational studies concerning the association of cataract surgery or cataracts with anxiety or depression, four studies (9.1%) were interventional studies, and four studies (9.1%) were reviews. Cataract surgery notably enhances the mental health of individuals with impaired vision. However, the multifaceted nature of psychological well-being, influenced by various factors, suggests that cataract surgery may not address all aspects comprehensively. Additionally, preoperative anxiety and depression significantly impact cataract surgery outcomes. CONCLUSION Vision impairment in older adults is closely associated with increased symptoms of depression and anxiety. While surgical intervention for cataracts improves these symptoms, it might be less effective for mental disorders with multifactorial causes. Notably, anxiety or depression poses challenges to successful preoperative and intraoperative cataract surgeries.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Evidence suggests that certain groups of orthopaedic patients have an increased prevalence of mental health disorders than the general population. This scoping review aims to evaluate the effect of pre-operative mental health on outcomes of foot and ankle surgery. METHODS A literature search was performed in four databases. Studies investigating a relationship between preoperative mental health and postoperative patient reported outcome measures (PROMs), complications, readmissions or reoperations were included. RESULTS Of the 19 studies investigating the effect of preoperative mental health on PROMs, 16 (84.2%) reported a significant relationship between poorer preoperative mental health and inferior postoperative PROMs. Poorer mental health was associated with an increased rate of complications, readmissions and/or reoperations in four studies. CONCLUSIONS Poorer preoperative mental health is associated with significantly inferior outcomes following foot and ankle surgery. Clinicians should evaluate mental health to stratify likely outcomes and aid in the management of patient expectations. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV: Scoping review of Level II-IV studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Association between depression and aneurysm has been implicated but the specific role of depression in aneurysm remains unclear. We aimed to comprehensively characterize the relation of major depressive disorder (MDD) with aneurysm by subtype. METHODS Harnessing summary statistics from genome-wide association studies (Ncase/Ncontrol = 7603/317,899 for aortic aneurysm; 7321/317,899 for thoracic aortic aneurysm; 3201/317,899 for abdominal aortic aneurysm; 1788/317,899 for cerebral aneurysm; and 246,363/561,190 for major depressive disorder), we estimated the genetic correlation between MDD and each of four aneurysm subtypes via LD Score Regression and tested the causality via various estimators under the bi-directional Mendelian randomization (MR) framework. RESULTS Positive genetic correlation of statistical significance, ranging between 0.15 (with thoracic aortic aneurysm, P = 0.005) and 0.25 (with abdominal aortic aneurysm, P = 0.001), was consistently observed for MDD with each aneurysm subtype. In the MR analysis of MDD as an exposure, genetic liability to MDD causally increased the risk of cerebral (odds ratio: 1.71; 95 % confidence interval: 1.26-2.34) but not aortic aneurysm. Replication analysis of an independent dataset (Ncase/Ncontrol = 6242/59,418) corroborated this signal. In contrast, causal effect was not evident for any neurysm subtype on susceptibility to MDD. LIMITATIONS Aneurysm could have been underdiagnosed if asymptomatic, leading to an underestimated causal impact on MDD. Non-linearity of the causal effect was not tested due to the lack of individual-level data. CONCLUSIONS Depression and aneurysm may share common pathomechanisms. Screening depressed population and improving the clinical management for depression may benefit the primary prevention of cerebral aneurysm.

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.

[PMID: 38616998 PMCID: PMC11008477 DOI: 10.7150/ijms.93977] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/16/2024] Open
Abstract
Background: Tonsillectomy is a common surgery in the US, with possible postoperative complications. While small studies indicate postoperative depressive symptoms may occur, large-scale evidence is lacking on the tonsillectomy-depression link. Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the TriNetX US collaborative network, offering de-identified electronic health data from 59 collaborative healthcare organizations (HCOs) in the United States. In this study, people being diagnosed of chronic tonsillitis between January 2005 and December 2017 were enrolled. Patients deceased, with previous record of cancers or psychiatric events before index date were excluded. 14,874 chronic tonsillitis patients undergoing tonsillectomy were propensity score matched 1:1 to controls for age, sex, and race. New-onset depression risks were evaluated over 5 years post-tonsillectomy and stratified by age and sex. Confounders were adjusted for including demographics, medications, comorbidities and socioeconomic statuses. Results: After matching, the difference of key baseline characteristics including age, sex, comedications status and obesity status was insignificant between tonsillectomy and non-tonsillectomy groups. Tonsillectomy had a 1.29 times higher 5-year depression risk versus matched controls (95% CI, 1.19-1.40), with elevated risks seen at 1 year (HR=1.51; 95% CI, 1.28-1.79) and 3 years (HR=1.30; 95% CI, 1.18-1.43). By stratifications, risks were increased for both males (HR=1.30; 95% CI, 1.08-1.57) and females (HR=1.30; 95% CI, 1.18-1.42), and significantly higher in ages 18-64 years (HR=1.37; 1.26-1.49), but no significance observed for those 65 years and older. After performing sensitivity analyses and applying washout periods of 6, 12, and 36 months, the outcome remained consistent with unadjusted results. Conclusion: This real-world analysis found tonsillectomy was associated with a 30% higher 5-year depression risk versus matched non-tonsillectomy patients with chronic tonsillitis. Further mechanistic research is needed to clarify the pathophysiologic association between depression and tonsillectomy. Depression is not commonly mentioned in the current post-tonsillectomy care realm; however, the outcome of our study emphasized the possibility of these suffering condition after operation. Attention to psychological impacts following tonsillectomy is warranted to support patient well-being, leading to better management of post-tonsillectomy individuals.

Prognostic Value in Preoperative Veterans RAND-12 Mental Component Score on Clinical Outcomes for Patients Undergoing Minimally Invasive Lateral Lumbar Interbody Fusion. Neurospine 2024; 21:361-371. [PMID: 38291749 PMCID: PMC10992641 DOI: 10.14245/ns.2346730.365] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/11/2023] [Revised: 09/25/2023] [Accepted: 11/04/2023] [Indexed: 02/01/2024] Open
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect of Veterans RAND 12-item health survey mental composite score (VR-12 MCS) on postoperative patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) after undergoing lateral lumbar interbody fusion. METHODS Retrospective data from a single-surgeon database created 2 cohorts: patients with VR-12 MCS ≥ 50 or VR-12 MCS < 50. Preoperative, 6-week, and final follow-up (FF)- PROMs including VR-12 MCS/physical composite score (PCS), 12-item Short Form health survey (SF-12) MCS/PCS, Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System Physical Function (PROMIS-PF), Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), visual analogue scale (VAS)-back/leg pain (VAS-BP/LP), and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were collected. ∆6-week and ∆FF-PROMs were calculated. Minimal clinically important difference (MCID) achievement rates were determined from established cutoffs from the literature. For intercohort comparison, chi-square analysis was used for categorical variables, and Student t-test for continuous variables. RESULTS Seventy-nine patients were included; 25 were in VR-12 MCS < 50. Mean postoperative follow-up time was 17.12 ± 8.43 months. The VR-12 MCS < 50 cohort had worse VR-12 PCS, SF-12 MCS, PROMIS-PF, PHQ-9, VAS-BP, and ODI scores preoperatively (p ≤ 0.014, all), worse VR-12 MCS/PCS, SF-12 MCS, PROMIS-PF, PHQ-9, and ODI scores at 6-week postoperatively (p ≤ 0.039, all), and worse VR-12 MCS, SF-12 MCS, PROMIS-PF, PHQ-9, VAS-BP, VAS-LP, and ODI scores at FF (p ≤ 0.046, all). The VR-12 MCS < 50 cohort showed greater improvement in VR-12 MCS and SF-12 MCS scores at 6 weeks and FF (p ≤ 0.005, all). The VR-12 MCS < 50 cohort experienced greater MCID achievement for VR-12 MCS, SF-12 MCS, and PHQ-9 (p ≤ 0.006, all). CONCLUSION VR-12 MCS < 50 yielded worse mental health, physical function, pain and disability postoperatively, yet reported greater improvements in magnitude and MCID achievement for mental health.

Abstract
AIM Patients with lumbar disc surgery experience many different problems during their hospital stay. Nurses also face different challenges in providing care to them. Nonetheless, no study has yet specifically addressed these challenges to the best of our knowledge. This study aimed at exploring the challenges of nursing care for patients with lumbar discectomy. DESIGN This qualitative study was conducted in 2022 using content analysis. METHODS Eight nurses, three patients with lumbar discectomy, and one physician were purposively selected from the neurosurgery wards of the hospitals affiliated to Golestan University of Medical Sciences, Gorgan, Iran. Semi-structured interviews were conducted for data analysis and the content analysis method recommended by Elo and Kyngas was used for data analysis. The main phases of this method are open coding, grouping, categorization, and abstraction. The MAXQDA 10 software was employed to facilitate data management. Data collection continued to reach data saturation. RESULTS The challenges of nursing care for patients with lumbar discectomy were categorized into eleven subcategories and three main categories, namely dominant routine-based practice in the healthcare system, futile attempt for team-based care, and shortages as a major barrier to quality care. There are different personal, professional, financial, structural, and organizational challenges in nursing care for patients with lumbar discectomy which can negatively affect postoperative patient recovery.

Abstract
Ischaemic or haemorrhagic perioperative stroke (that is, stroke occurring during or within 30 days following surgery) can be a devastating complication following surgery. Incidence is reported in the 0.1-0.7% range in adults undergoing non-cardiac and non-neurological surgery, in the 1-5% range in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and in the 1-10% range following neurological surgery. However, higher rates have been reported when patients are actively assessed and in high-risk populations. Prognosis is significantly worse than stroke occurring in the community, with double the 30-day mortality, greater disability and diminished quality of life among survivors. Considering the annual volume of surgeries performed worldwide, perioperative stroke represents a substantial burden. Despite notable differences in aetiology, patient populations and clinical settings, existing clinical recommendations for perioperative stroke are extrapolated mainly from stroke in the community. Perioperative in-hospital stroke is unique with respect to the stroke occurring in other settings, and it is essential to apply evidence from other settings with caution and to identify existing knowledge gaps in order to effectively guide patient care and future research.

Abstract
Postoperative depression (POD) and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) have placed heavy burden on patients' physical and mental health in recent years. Sleep disturbance before surgery is a common phenomenon that has been increasingly believed to affect patients' recovery, especially in aged patients, while little attention has been paid to sleep disruption before surgery and the potential mechanism remains ambiguous. Ketamine has been reported to attenuate POCD after cardiac surgery and elicit rapid-acting and sustained antidepressant actions. The present study aimed to clarify the effect of esketamine's (the S-enantiomer of ketamine) protective effects and possible mechanisms of action in POCD and POD. Our results showed that sleep disturbance before surgery exacerbated microglial M1 polarization and microglial BDNF-TrkB signalling dysfunction induced by surgery, resulting in postoperative emotional changes and cognitive impairments. Notably, treatment with esketamine reversed the behavioural abnormalities through inhibiting the M1 polarization of microglia and the inflammatory response thus improving BDNF-TrkB signalling in vivo and vitro. In addition, esketamine administration also reversed the impaired hippocampal synaptic plasticity which has been perturbed by sleep disturbance and surgery. These findings warrant further investigations into the interplay of esketamine and may provide novel ideas for the implication of preoperative preparations and the prevention of postoperative brain-related complications.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare adverse events, postoperative opioid-prescribing patterns, health care use, and secondary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) surgery rates of patients undergoing primary ACLR with a preoperative antidepressant prescription (ADP) against a propensity-matched group with no preoperative antidepressant prescription (NADP) using the TriNetX Diamond Network. METHODS Patients undergoing primary ACLR between ages 18 and 35 years of age were queried from the database using International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision/Current Procedural Terminology codes. Patients with an ADP were propensity matched in a 1:1 ratio to patients with NADP based on 11 patient characteristics. Postoperative rates of adverse events, emergency department (ED) visits, in-patient hospitalizations, outpatient services, physical therapy evaluations, postoperative opioid prescriptions, and secondary ACLR were compared at various time points. RESULTS In total, 3,736 patients with an ADP with an average age of 21.4 ± 4.5 years undergoing primary ACLR were propensity matched to patients with NADP. A significantly greater percentage of patients with an ADP received opioid prescriptions at 2 weeks (ADP 21%, NADP 11.3%, odds ratio [OR] 2.08), 6 weeks (ADP 25.5%, NADP 13.9%, OR 2.13), 3 months (ADP 27.6%, NADP 15.6%, OR 2.07), 6 months (ADP 30.5%, NADP 17.2%, OR 2.1), and 1 year (ADP 35.3%, NADP 20.2%, OR 2.16) postoperatively (P <.0001 for each time point). Patients with ADP had greater rates of ED visits (ADP 9.7%, NADP 7.1%, P < .0001, OR 1.39) and outpatient appointments (ADP 28.3%, NADP 21.8%) P < .0001, OR 1.42) at 3 months' postoperatively. Secondary surgery rates at 1 and 2 years were nonsignificant (P = .381 and P = .062, respectively). CONCLUSIONS Following ACLR, patients with ADP had a significant increase in postoperative opioid prescriptions at all time points and used more ED resources and outpatient services compared with patients with NADP at 3 months' postoperatively. Thirty-day postoperative adverse events and both 1- and 2-year secondary ACL surgery rates demonstrated no significant differences between the groups. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, retrospective comparative case series.

EJVES Vasc Forum 2024; 61:44-49. [PMID: 38318434 PMCID: PMC10839761 DOI: 10.1016/j.ejvsvf.2023.12.004] [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: 08/30/2023] [Revised: 11/24/2023] [Accepted: 12/29/2023] [Indexed: 02/07/2024] Open
Abstract
Objective To evaluate patient reported outcome measures after early clot removal for acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT), using the Chronic Venous Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (CIVIQ-20) and the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). Methods Cross sectional design. Patients who underwent early clot removal between June 2012 and November 2021 were asked to complete the two questionnaires once. Lower CIVIQ-20 and higher SF-36 scores indicate better quality of life (QoL). Primary endpoints were the median scores. The one sample Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to compare SF-36 physical and mental component summary (PCS and MCS) to the normative and CIVIQ-20 to the minimum. Secondary, non-parametric independent t test or Fisher's exact test examined how age, sex, body mass index, stent placement, re-intervention, and time of questionnaire completion related to QoL. Multivariable linear regression tested whether various variables were associated with QoL. Results The response rate was 73.5% (n = 39). Median time of questionnaire completion was 1.8 years (interquartile range [IQR] 3.1) after clot removal. The median CIVIQ-20 of 29.0 (IQR 28.0) was slightly higher than the minimum value 20.0 (p < .001). The median PCS (50.5, IQR 16.6) and median MCS (50.2, IQR 14.2) did not differ from the normative of 50.0. However, wide IQRs indicated impairments for a subgroup of patients. None of the tested variables affected QoL except for the finding that re-interventions had a significantly negative impact on the SF-36 MCS (standardised β coefficient of -0.4, p = .030). Conclusion Overall patient reported outcome measures were satisfactory after early clot removal, but impaired physical and mental functioning levels were present in a subgroup of patients. Re-interventions were found to have a negative impact on mental QoL. This finding was independent of time that had passed between the procedure and questionnaire completion. This study emphasises that mental functioning deserves attention, besides the widely recognised physical consequences after invasive acute iliofemoral DVT treatment.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Anesthesia often exacerbates memory recall difficulties in individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD), but the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. METHODS We used in vivo Ca2+ imaging, viral-based circuit tracing, and chemogenetic approaches to investigate anesthesia-induced remote memory impairment in mouse models of presymptomatic AD. RESULTS Our study identified pyramidal neuron hyperactivity in the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) as a significant contributor to anesthesia-induced remote memory impairment. This ACC hyperactivation arises from the disinhibition of local inhibitory circuits and increased excitatory inputs from the hippocampal CA1 region. Inhibiting hyperactivity in the CA1-ACC circuit improved memory recall after anesthesia. Moreover, anesthesia led to increased tau phosphorylation in the hippocampus, and inhibiting this hyperphosphorylation prevented ACC hyperactivity and subsequent memory impairment. DISCUSSION Hippocampal-cortical hyperactivity plays a role in anesthesia-induced remote memory impairment. Targeting tau hyperphosphorylation shows promise as a therapeutic strategy to mitigate anesthesia-induced neural network dysfunction and retrograde amnesia in AD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mental health has an important role in the care of cancer patients, and access to mental health services may be associated with improved outcomes. Thus, poor access to psychiatric services may contribute to suboptimal cancer treatment. We conducted a geospatial analysis to characterize psychiatrist distribution and assess the impact of mental healthcare shortages with surgical outcomes among patients with gastrointestinal cancer. METHODS Medicare beneficiaries with mental illness diagnosed with complex gastrointestinal cancers between 2004 and 2016 were identified in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER)-Medicare registry. National Provider Identifier-registered psychiatrist locations were mapped and linked to SEER-Medicare records. Regional access to psychiatric services was assessed relative to textbook outcome, a composite assessment of postoperative complications, prolonged length of stay, 90-day readmission and mortality. RESULTS Among 15,714 patients with mental illness and gastrointestinal cancer, 3937 were classified as having high access to psychiatric services while 3910 had low access. On multivariable logistic regression, areas with low access had higher risk of worse postoperative outcomes. Specifically, individuals residing in areas with low access had increased odds of prolonged length of stay (OR 1.11, 95%CI 1.01-1.22; p = 0.028) and 90-day readmission (OR 1.19, 95%CI 1.08-1.31; p < 0.001), as well as decreased odds of textbook outcome (OR 0.85, 95%CI 0.77-0.93; p < 0.001) and discharge to home (OR 0.89, 95%CI 0.80-0.99; p = 0.028). CONCLUSION Patients with mental illness and lower access to psychiatric services had worse postoperative outcomes. Policymakers and providers should prioritize incorporating mental health screening and access to psychiatric services to address disparities among patients undergoing gastrointestinal surgery.

Abstract
Vulnerable patients are at risk for neuroinflammation-mediated post-operative complications, including depression (POD) and cognitive dysfunction (POCD). Zucker rats, expressing multiple risk factors for post-operative complications in humans, may provide a clinically relevant model to study pathophysiology and explore potential interventions. J147, a newly developed anti-dementia drug, was shown to prevent POCD in young healthy rats, and improved early post-surgical recovery in Zucker rats. Aim of the present study was to investigate POCD and the therapeutic potential of J147 in male Zucker rats. Risk factors in the Zucker rat strain were evaluated by comparison with lean littermates. Zucker rats were subjected to major abdominal surgery. Acute J147 treatment was provided by a single iv injection (10 mg/kg) at the start of surgery, while chronic J147 treatment was provided in the food (aimed at 30 mg/kg/day), starting one week before surgery and up to end of protocol. Effects on behavior were assessed, and plasma, urine and brain tissue were collected and processed for immunohistochemistry and molecular analyses. Indeed, Zucker rats displayed increased risk factors for POCD, including obesity, high plasma triglycerides, low grade systemic inflammation, impaired spatial learning and decreased neurogenesis. Surgery in Zucker rats reduced exploration and increased anxiety in the Open Field test, impaired short-term spatial memory, induced a shift in circadian rhythm and increased plasma neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), microglia activity in the CA1 and blood brain barrier leakage. Chronic, but not acute J147 treatment reduced anxiety in the Open Field test and protected against the spatial memory decline. Moreover, chronic J147 increased glucose sensitivity. Acute J147 treatment improved long-term spatial memory and reversed the circadian rhythm shift. No anti-inflammatory effects were seen for J147. Although Zucker rats displayed risk factors, surgery did not induce extensive POCD. However, increased anxiety may indicate POD. Treatment with J147 showed positive effects on behavioral and metabolic parameters, but did not affect (neuro)inflammation. The mixed effect of acute and chronic treatment may suggest a combination for optimal treatment.

Functional recovery after cesarean delivery: a prospective cohort study in rural Rwanda. BMC Pregnancy Childbirth 2023; 23:858. [PMID: 38087238 PMCID: PMC10717631 DOI: 10.1186/s12884-023-06159-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2023] [Accepted: 11/26/2023] [Indexed: 12/18/2023] Open
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Women who deliver via cesarean section (c-section) experience short- and long-term disability that may affect their physical health and their ability to function normally. While clinical complications are assessed, postpartum functional outcomes are not well understood from a patient's perspective or well-characterized by previous studies. In Rwanda, 11% of rural women deliver via c-section. This study explores the functional recovery of rural Rwandan women after c-section and assesses factors that predict poor functionality at postoperative day (POD) 30. METHODS Data were collected prospectively on POD 3, 11, and 30 from women delivering at Kirehe District Hospital between October 2019 and March 2020. Functionality was measured by self-reported overall health, energy level, mobility, self-care ability, and ability to perform usual activities; and each domain was rated on a 4-point likert scale, lower scores reflecting higher level of difficulties. Using the four functionality domains, we computed composite mean scores with a maximum score of 4.0 and we defined poor functionality as composite score of ≤ 2.0. We assessed functionality with descriptive statistics and logistic regression. RESULTS Of 617 patients, 54.0%, 25.9%, and 26.8% reported poor functional status at POD3, POD11, and POD30, respectively. At POD30, the most self-reported poor functionality dimensions were poor or very poor overall health (48.1%), and inability to perform usual activities (15.6%). In the adjusted model, women whose surgery lasted 30-45 min had higher odds of poor functionality (aOR = 1.85, p = 0.01), as did women who experienced intraoperative complications (aOR = 4.12, 95% CI (1.09, 25.57), p = 0.037). High income patients had incrementally lower significant odds of poor physical functionality (aOR = 0.62 for every US$1 increase in monthly income, 95% CI (0.40, 0.96) p = 0.04). CONCLUSION We found a high proportion of poor physical functionality 30 days post-c-section in this Rwandan cohort. Surgery lasting > 30 min and intra-operative complications were associated with poor functionality, whereas a reported higher income status was associated with lower odds of poor functionality. Functional status assessments, monitoring and support should be included in post-partum care for women who delivered via c-section. Effective risk mitigating intervention should be implemented to recover functionality after c-section, particularly among low-income women and those undergoing longer surgical procedures or those with intraoperative complications.

Abstract
Perioperative medicine is changing, and its goals are expanding. More and more attention is paid to the surgical experience and the patient's quality of life. Patient-reported data represent a useful tool in this context. Patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMs) and experience measures (PREMs) are among the most used categories. However, creating perioperative programs capable of integrating traditional perioperative data with these scales is not easy. New technologies, particularly artificial intelligence, thanks to their ability to recognise, interpret, process or simulate human feelings, emotions and moods, could provide the necessary tools to combine all perioperative aspects, placing the patients and their needs at the centre of the process.

Abstract
Background Postoperative depression is not well characterised. We investigated the incidence of postoperative depression with the hypothesis that after controlling for confounders, new onset depression would vary significantly by surgical type. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study using the Optum Clinformatics Datamart. The primary outcome was new onset postoperative depression, defined by a new diagnosis of depression or new prescription for an antidepressant in the year after surgery using International Classification of Diseases (ICD) 9/10 codes and drug names. Adjustment for preoperative comorbidities and predictors of depression was with multivariable Cox regression and propensity score matching. Sensitivity analyses defining new onset depression as both a new diagnosis of depression and a new prescription for an antidepressant, or either outcome separately, were conducted. Results Data from 132 390 cardiac surgery, 12 538 thoracotomy, 32 630 video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS), 96 750 hip fracture surgery, 157 484 hip replacement, and 347 878 laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients from January 2004 to June 2021 were analysed. The incidence of new onset postoperative depression was 18.8% for hip fracture surgery, 16.1% for thoracotomy, 12.6% for cardiac surgery, 12.4% for VATS, 8.6% for laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and 6.8% for hip replacement. After multivariable adjustment, hip fracture surgery patients were most likely to develop new onset postoperative depression (hazard ratio [95% confidence interval]) 1.56 [1.45-1.68]), followed by thoracotomy (1.12 [1.03-1.22]), cardiac surgery (1.09 [1.04-1.12]), VATS (0.95 [0.90-1.00]), and hip replacement (0.55 [0.52-0.57]) compared with patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (hazard ratio=1). Results from propensity score matched analyses and sensitivity analyses were similar. Conclusions The risk of postoperative depression differs by surgical type after controlling for preoperative characteristics.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pancreatic exocrine insufficiency (PEI) is common after gastric resection for cancer or ulcers but is under-recognized and undertreated. Although pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) is the mainstay of PEI management, robust evidence supporting its use after gastric surgery is limited. AREAS COVERED In the absence of guideline recommendations specific for patients with pancreatic insufficiency after gastrectomy, a panel of experts from different geographical regions convened in a virtual meeting to discuss their approach to patient management. EXPERT OPINION Pancreatic insufficiency after gastrointestinal surgery is not a simple post-surgical complication as several factors contribute to its development. Although the pancreas is unimpaired after gastrectomy, it cannot function normally in the altered environment. Pancreatic insufficiency can be challenging to diagnose in gastrectomy patients due to nonspecific symptoms and the absence of a simple diagnostic test. Fecal elastase appears to be the default test, although it is not sufficiently sensitive nor reliable for diagnosing or monitoring PEI. Patients with maldigestion symptoms after gastrectomy are treated pragmatically: those with clinical suspicion of pancreatic insufficiency receive a trial of PERT and are monitored for symptom improvement. There is a clear need for high-quality evidence from clinical trials to guide the management of this patient population.

Abstract
Purpose Primary liver cancer (PLC) is a common cancer of the digestive system. Patients with PLC often experience a heavy symptom burden and along with a significant levels of anxiety and depression after liver resection. High levels of symptom burden can lead to increased anxiety and depression, whereas high levels of resilience can alleviate these conditions. Therefore, we aimed to explore the relationships among symptom burden, resilience, and anxiety/depression in Chinese patients with PLC after liver resection and to determine whether resilience mediates the relationship between symptom burden and anxiety/depression. Patients and Methods A total of 223 postoperative PLC patients were recruited from two public hospitals in Anhui Province, China. All participants completed the MD Anderson Symptom Inventory (MDASI), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). The mediating effect of resilience was estimated using the bootstrap method via IBM SPSS AMOS 26.0. Results The mean HADS score was 12.37 ± 6.03 points in postoperative PLC patients. Among these patients, 78 (34.98%) had anxiety, and 64 (28.70%) had depression, as indicated by a subscale score ≥ 8. Pearson correlation analysis revealed that anxiety/depression was positively associated with symptom burden (p < 0.05) and negatively associated with resilience (p < 0.05). Furthermore, resilience partially mediated the relationship between symptom burden and anxiety/depression (β = 0.04; 95% confidence interval: 0.01-0.08). Conclusion The levels of anxiety and depression in postoperative PLC patients should be decreased. Resilience partially mediated the relationship between symptom burden and anxiety/depression, but the indirect effect was much weaker than the direct effect of symptom burden on anxiety/depression. Consequently, rather than focusing primarily on resilience interventions, joint symptom-psychological interventions focusing on symptoms should be considered for patients with PLC after hepatectomy to reduce the levels of anxiety/depression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Depression is a known risk factor for inferior outcomes after orthopedic procedures, but its specific relationship with distal radius fractures remains unknown. This study investigates the relationship between preoperative diagnosed depression and common postoperative complications occurring within the first year after open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) for distal radius fractures. METHODS This retrospective study used Truven MarketScan database and the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes to identify distal radius fracture patients who underwent ORIF in the United States between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2019. International Classification of Diseases (ICD) codes were used to identify patients with and without a diagnosis of preoperative depression. Univariate, multivariate, t test, and χ2 analyses were performed to determine the association between preoperative depression and postoperative complications following a distal radius fracture surgery. RESULTS Of the 75 098 eligible patients, 9.9% had at least one ICD code associated with preoperative depression. Preoperative depression was associated with increased odds for surgical site infection (odds ratio [OR] 1.25, confidence interval [CI] 1.14-1.37), emergency department visits for postoperative pain (OR 1.28, CI 1.15-1.36), hardware complication (OR 1.18, CI 1.07-1.30), removal of hardware within 1 year (OR 1.16, CI 1.09-1.27), wound complication (OR 1.17, CI 1.08-1.27), and 30-day readmission (OR 1.21, CI 1.07-1.31). CONCLUSIONS Preoperative diagnosed depression is associated with increased complications following distal radius fracture surgery. These results can help guide preoperative and postoperative protocols in these higher risk patients. More research is needed to investigate if depression is a modifiable risk factor, as depression treatment could potentially improve postsurgical outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Studies have shown an association between surgical treatment volume and improved quality metrics. This study evaluated nationwide results in carotid artery stenting (CAS) procedural readmission rates, costs, and length of stay based on hospital treatment volume. METHODS We used the Nationwide Readmissions Database for carotid stenosis from 2010 to 2015. Patients receiving CAS were matched based on demographics, illness severity, and relevant comorbidities. Patients were matched 1:1 between low- and high-volume centers using a non-parametric preprocessing matching program to adjust for parametric causal inferences. Nearest-neighbor propensity score matching was performed using logit distance. RESULTS Low- and high-volume centers admitted a mean (SD) of 4.68 (3.79) and 25.10 (16.86) patients undergoing CAS per hospital, respectively. Comorbidities were significantly different and initially could not be adequately matched. Because of significant differences in baseline patient population characteristics after attempted matching between low- and high-volume centers, we used propensity adjustment with multivariate analysis. Using this alternative approach, no significant differences were observed between low- and high-volume centers for the presence of any complication, postoperative stroke, postoperative myocardial infarction, and readmission at 30 days. CONCLUSION In 1:1 nearest-neighbor matching with a high number of patients, our analysis did not result in well-matched cohorts for the effect of case volume on outcomes. Comparing analytical techniques for various outcomes highlights that outcome disparities may not be related to quality differences based on hospital size, but rather variability in patient populations between low- and high-volume institutions.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A pre-existing mood and anxiety disorder (MAD) is often present in patients with rotator cuff pathology, but its presumed negative effect on the outcomes has not been demonstrated. AIM OF STUDY AND HYPOTHESIS The primary objective of this study was to evaluate how a history of MAD affects the clinical outcomes 1 year after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (RCR). The secondary objectives were to evaluate how a history of MAD affects tendon healing, analgesic consumption and the occurrence of complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study population consisted of 219 patients (mean age 54.5±6.6 years) who underwent arthroscopic repair for a distal supraspinatus tendon tear, with 17% (38/219) presenting an history of MAD (depression, unspecified mood disorder, anxiety, and bipolar disorder). Using univariate and multivariate analyses, the joint range of motion, Constant score, analgesic consumption, occurrence of complications during the first postoperative year and tendon healing at 1 year (MRI or CT arthrography) were compared between the two groups (with or without MAD). RESULTS The Constant score was lower preoperatively in patients with history of MAD (-4 points, p=.04) but there were no significant differences between the two groups at the various postoperative follow-up time points (p>.05). No significant difference was found between the two groups of patients in their analgesic consumption at the various postoperative time points (p>.05), tendon healing at 1 year (p=.17) or the occurrence of postoperative complications (p=.59). DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION Pre-existing MAD had no effect on the clinical outcomes after arthroscopic RCR at 1 year and no effect on tendon healing, analgesic consumption or the occurrence of complications in our study population. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III; retrospective case-control study.

Abstract
Introduction The impact of anxiety and depression on outcomes in orthopaedic trauma surgery is a topic of growing research interest. Patients and methods Orthopaedic trauma patients often experience high rates of psychiatric disorders, with anxiety and depression being the most prevalent. Mental health disorders have been shown to increase the risk of negative surgical outcomes and morbidity. This narrative review seeks to summarize the current literature surrounding the impacts of anxiety and depression on orthopaedic trauma surgery outcomes. Discussion There is a bidirectional relationship between chronic pain and mental health disorders, involving overlapping brain regions and neurotransmitter pathways. Anxiety and depression have been identified as predictors of negative surgical outcomes in orthopaedic trauma patients. Screening tools like the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder Screener-7 (GAD-7), and Medical Outcomes Study 36-item Short Form (SF-36) can assess mental health status and help tailor interventions. Psychological distress, chronic pain, and traumatic limb amputation are factors that contribute to adverse mental health outcomes in orthopaedic trauma patients. Opioid use for pain management is common in orthopaedic surgery, but it can worsen symptoms of depression and lead to dependency. Non-opioid pain management strategies may improve postoperative outcomes by reducing the impact of opioid-exacerbated depression. Conclusion Mental health interventions, both preoperative and postoperative, are crucial in optimizing surgical outcomes and improving patient quality of life. Multidisciplinary approaches that address both physical and mental health are recommended for orthopaedic trauma patients. Further research is needed to develop effective interventions for improving mental health outcomes in this patient population.

Importance of cytochrome 3A4 and 2D6-mediated drug-drug interactions in oxycodone consumption among older adults hospitalized for hip fracture: a cross-sectional study. Aging Clin Exp Res 2023; 35:2471-2481. [PMID: 37861957 DOI: 10.1007/s40520-023-02569-7] [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: 07/05/2023] [Accepted: 09/18/2023] [Indexed: 10/21/2023]
Abstract
Hip fracture is a common injury and represents a major health problem with an increasing incidence. In older adults, opioids such as oxycodone are often preferred to other analgesics such as tramadol because of a lower risk of delirium. Different parameters, such as inhibition of cytochrome P450 (CYP450) 2D6 and/or 3A4, can potentially lead to pharmacokinetic variations of oxycodone representing a risk of adverse drugs effects or lack of drug response. There is a risk of drug-drug interactions involving CYP450 in older adults due to the high prevalence of polypharmacy. This study sought to identify patient characteristics that influence oxycodone administration. A single-center observational study included 355 patients with a hip fracture hospitalized in a geriatric postoperative unit. Composite endpoint based on form, duration, and timing to intake separated patients into three groups: "no oxycodone", "low oxycodone ", and "high oxycodone ". CYP450 interactions were studied based on a composite variable defining the most involved CYP450 pathways between CYP2D6 and CYP3A4. CYP450 interactions with CYP2D6 pathway involved were associated with the risk of "high oxycodone" [odds ratio adjusted on age and the type of hip fracture (OR*) 4.52, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.39-16.83, p = 0.02)], as well as serum albumin levels (OR* 1.09, 95% CI 1.02-1.17, p = 0.01). Cognitive impairment was negatively associated with the risk of "high oxycodone" (OR* 0.38, 95% CI 0.18-0.77, p = 0.02). This study showed an association between CYP2D6 interactions and higher oxycodone consumption indirectly reflecting the existence of uncontrolled postoperative pain.

Abstract
Background Depression is common in the cardiac surgery population. This contemporary narrative review aims to explore the main pathophysiological disturbances underpinning depression specifically within the cardiac surgery population. The common non-pharmacological and pharmacological management strategies used to manage depression within the cardiac surgery patient population are also explored. Methods A total of 1291 articles were identified through Ovid Medline and Embase. The findings from 39 studies were included for qualitative analysis in this narrative review. Results Depression is associated with several pathophysiological and behavioral factors which increase the likelihood of developing coronary heart disease which may ultimately require surgical intervention. The main pathophysiological factors contributing to depression are well characterized and include autonomic nervous system dysregulation, excessive inflammation and disruption of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. There are also several behavioral factors in depressed patients associated with the development of coronary heart disease including poor diet, insufficient exercise, poor compliance with medications and reduced adherence to cardiac rehabilitation. The common preventative and management modalities used for depression following cardiac surgery include preoperative and peri-operative education, cardiac rehabilitation, cognitive behavioral therapy, religion/prayer/spirituality, biobehavioral feedback, anti-depressant medications, and statins. Conclusion This contemporary review explores the pathophysiological mechanisms leading to depression following cardiac surgery and the current management modalities. Further studies on the preventative and management strategies for postoperative depression in the cardiac surgery patient population are warranted.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Psychiatric disorders are increasingly prevalent. Studies have demonstrated that the presence of comorbid psychiatric conditions (CPC) is associated with a number of worsening outcomes in hospitalised patients in general. The relationship between a wide range of psychiatric comorbidities and acute surgical presentations has not been studied to date. STUDY DESIGN The Hospital In-Patient Enquiry (HIPE) system and prospectively maintained eHandover were used to identify all surgical emergency admissions to Mayo University Hospital, Ireland. Patient demographics, comorbidities, primary diagnoses, length of stay (LoS), and procedures undergone were recorded over a 12-months period. Subgroup analyses examining LoS variation in surgical presentation types were performed. RESULTS 1028 admissions occurred over this one year period, amongst 995 patients, the presence of psychiatric comorbidities increased the mean LoS by 1.9 days (p = 0.002). Comorbid depression, dementia, and intellectual disability conferred a significant increase in LoS by 2.4 days, 2.8 days and 6.7 days respectively. Subgroup analysis revealed greater LoS in patients with CPC diagnosed with non-specific abdominal pain (1.4 days, p = 0.019), skin and soft tissue infections (2.5 days, p = 0.040), bowel obstruction (4.3 days, p = 0.047), and medical disorders (18.6 days, p = 0.010). No significant difference was observed in mortality and readmission rates. CONCLUSION Psychiatric comorbidities significantly impact length of hospital stay and discharge planning in surgical inpatients. Greater awareness of this can facilitate better care delivery for this population to reduce the LoS and subsequent economic burden on the healthcare system.

The American Society of Breast Surgeons classification system for oncoplastic breast conserving surgery independently predicts the risk of delayed wound healing. EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF SURGICAL ONCOLOGY 2023; 49:107032.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Oncoplastic breast conserving surgery (OBCS) aims to provide safe and satisfying surgery for breast cancer patients. The American Society of Breast Surgeons (ASBrS) classification system is based on volumetric displacement cut-offs (level I for <20% of breast volume; level II for 20-50%). It aims to facilitate communication among treating physicians and patients. Here, we investigate whether the extent of OBCS as classified by ASBrS independently predicts postoperative complications. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective analysis of a prospectively maintained database included patients with stage I-III breast cancer who underwent OBCS between 03/2011 and 12/2020 at a Swiss university hospital. Outcomes included short-term (≤30 days) complications and chronic (>30 days) pain after surgery. Multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify independent predictors. RESULTS In total, 439 patients were included, 314 (71.5%) received ASBrS level I surgery, and 125 (28.5%) underwent ASBrS level II surgery. ASBrS level II was found to be an independent predictor of delayed wound healing (odds ratio [OR] 9.75, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 2.96-32.10). However, ASBrS level did not predict chronic postoperative pain (incidence rate ratio [IRR] 1.20, 95%CI 0.85-1.70), as opposed to age (IRR 1.19, 95%CI 1.11-1.27 per 5 years decrease), and weight disorders (underweight [BMI <18.5] vs. normal weight [BMI 18.5 < 25]: IRR 4.02, 95%CI 1.70-9.54; obese [BMI ≥30] vs. normal weight: IRR 2.07, 95%CI 1.37-3.13). CONCLUSION ASBrS level II surgery predicted delayed wound healing, warranting close clinical follow-up and prompt treatment to avoid delays in adjuvant therapy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Depressive symptoms have surfaced as the principal mental health concern among patients with breast cancer, with surgical interventions potentially exacerbating these symptoms and adversely influencing clinical outcomes. This study protocol is designed to investigate the efficacy of low-dose esketamine administered perioperatively on depressive symptoms in patients with breast cancer. It also aims to illuminate the potential neurobiological underpinnings of this effect. METHODS AND ANALYSIS This research represents a single-centre, prospective, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The trial anticipates enrolling 108 female patients exhibiting mild-to-severe depressive symptoms who are slated for radical mastectomy. Through stratified randomisation, eligible patients will be systematically assigned to either the esketamine group (0.25 mg/kg) or placebo group (0.9% saline) in a 1:1 ratio. The primary outcome is the response rate at the third postoperative day. Secondary outcomes encompass the remission rate, depression-related scores, depression severity and safety-related endpoints. Tertiary (exploratory) outcomes involve alterations in brain-derived neurotrophic factor and resting-state functional brain connectivity. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The Clinical Trial Ethics Committee at The First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University has conferred ethical approvals for this trial (approval number: PJ2023-05-25). Results from this trial will be disseminated in peer-reviewed journals and presented at professional symposiums. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER Chinese Clinical Trials Registry (ChiCTR2300071062).

Abstract
Background Whilst somatic complications after major surgery are being increasingly investigated, the research field has scarce data on psychiatric outcomes such as postoperative depression. This study evaluates the impact of patient and surgical factors on the risk of depression after surgery using the proxy measure of prescribed and collected antidepressants. Methods An observational, registry-based, national multicentre cohort study of individuals ≥18 yr of age who underwent noncardiac surgery between 2007 and 2014. Exclusion criteria included history of antidepressant use defined by collection of a prescription within 5 yr before surgery. Participants were identified using a surgical database from 23 Swedish hospitals and data were linked to National Board of Health and Welfare registers for collection of prescribed antidepressants. Descriptive statistics were used for baseline data and logistic regression for predictive factors. Results Of 223 617 patients, 4.9% had a new prescription of antidepressants collected 31-365 days after surgery. Antidepressant prescription was associated with increasing age, female sex, and more comorbidities. The incidence of antidepressant prescription was highest after neurosurgery, vascular, and thoracic surgery. Affective and anxiety disorders were risk factors. In the whole cohort and within the aforementioned surgical subtypes, acute and cancer surgery increased the risk of antidepressant prescription. Conclusions This study brings novel insights to the epidemiology of postoperative antidepressant treatment in antidepressant-naive patients. One in 20 postoperative patients are prescribed antidepressants but with knowledge of risk factors, interventional strategies can be tested.

Abstract
Favorable short-term results of transfibular total ankle arthroplasty have been reported in several studies; however, the factors affecting these results have not been elucidated. This study aimed to determine whether preoperative depression affects the outcome of transfibular total ankle arthroplasty and whether depression changes with surgery. Scores from the Japanese Society of Surgery of the Foot Ankle/Hindfoot scale (JSSF scale), Self-Administered Foot Evaluation Questionnaire (SAFE-Q), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), and Timed Up & Go test (TUG) were collected preoperatively, at 6 months, and at 1 year postoperatively from 20 patients. Eighteen patients were diagnosed with osteoarthritis and 2 patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The mean age of the patients was 75 years. Patients were divided into 2 groups: those with preoperative HADS depression scores above the median (higher depression score group) and below the median (lower depression score group), and intergroup comparisons were made. No significant differences were observed in the JSSF and TUG scores between the groups, both preoperatively and postoperatively. Meanwhile, the SAFE-Q pain subscale score was significantly lower in the higher depression score group than in the lower depression score group (median, 59 vs 90) 1 year postoperatively. There were no differences in the other SAFE-Q subscale scores between the groups. The results suggested that depressive tendencies did not affect postoperative functional results using objective assessment measures but had a negative impact on pain in subjective assessment measures.

Liu L, Xue H, Han Z, Jiang L, Chen L, Wang D. Comparison between OLIF and MISTLIF in degenerative lumbar stenosis: an age-, sex-, and segment-matched cohort study. Sci Rep 2023; 13:13188. [PMID: 37580586 PMCID: PMC10425456 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-40533-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/22/2022] [Accepted: 08/11/2023] [Indexed: 08/16/2023] Open
Abstract
To compare outcomes after oblique lateral interbody fusion (OLIF) versus minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (MISTLIF) with bilateral decompression via unilateral approach for treating mild to moderate symptomatic degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS). We retrospectively compared patients who underwent single-level (L4/5) OLIF with an age-, sex-, and segment-matched MISTLIF with bilateral decompression via unilateral approach cohort. Perioperative data were collected for the operative time, intraoperative blood loss, drainage in the first postoperative day, postoperative hospital stay, cost, intraoperative fluoroscopy, and complications. Lumbar radiographs were measured for changes in posterior intervertebral space height (PISH), intervertebral space foramen height (IFH), intervertebral foramen area (IFA), and area of the spinal canal (ASC). Clinical and psychological outcomes included the visual analog scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS). 35 OLIF patients were compared with 35 MISTLIF patients in L4/5 DLSS. The OLIF group had shorter bedtime, postoperative hospital stays, less intraoperative and postoperative blood loss (all P < 0.05), but had more times of intraoperative fluoroscopy, longer operative time, and higher cost (all P < 0.05). The complication rates were equivalent (OLIF vs MISTLIF: 22.86% vs 17.14%). PISH (11.94 ± 1.78 mm vs 9.42 ± 1.94 mm, P < 0.05), IFH (23.87 ± 3.05 mm vs 21.41 ± 2.95 mm, P < 0.05), and IFA (212.14 ± 51.82 mm2 vs 177.07 ± 51.73 mm2, P < 0.05) after surgery were significantly increased in the OLIF group. The ASC was increased significantly after the operation in both groups, but the ASC in the MISTLIF group was increased significantly more than that in the OLIF group (450.04 ± 66.66 mm2 vs 171.41 ± 58.55 mm2, P < 0.05). The lumbar VAS scores at 1 month (1.89 ± 0.87 vs 2.34 ± 0.84, P = 0.028) and 6 months (1.23 ± 0.97 vs 1.80 ± 0.99, P = 0.018) after operation in the OLIF group were significantly lower. There were no significant differences in lower extremity VAS and ODI scores between the two groups. Compared with MISTLIF group, HADS scores on postoperative day 3 (2.91 ± 1.46 vs 4.89 ± 1.78, P < 0.05) and prior to hospital discharge (PTD) (2.54 ± 1.38 vs 3.80 ± 1.78, P = 0.002) in the OLIF group were decreased significantly. OLIF showed more advantages of less surgical invasion, lower incidence of postoperative low back pain, faster postoperative recovery, and less anxiety compared with MISTLIF. Regardless of cost, OLIF seems to be a better option to treat mild to moderate symptomatic DLSS.

Prediction of opioid-related outcomes in a medicaid surgical population: Evidence to guide postoperative opiate therapy and monitoring. PLoS Comput Biol 2023; 19:e1011376. [PMID: 37578969 PMCID: PMC10449152 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1011376] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/18/2023] [Revised: 08/24/2023] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 08/16/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Treatment of surgical pain is a common reason for opioid prescriptions. Being able to predict which patients are at risk for opioid abuse, dependence, and overdose (opioid-related adverse outcomes [OR-AE]) could help physicians make safer prescription decisions. We aimed to develop a machine-learning algorithm to predict the risk of OR-AE following surgery using Medicaid data with external validation across states. METHODS Five machine learning models were developed and validated across seven US states (90-10 data split). The model output was the risk of OR-AE 6-months following surgery. The models were evaluated using standard metrics and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was used for model comparison. We assessed calibration for the top performing model and generated bootstrap estimations for standard deviations. Decision curves were generated for the top-performing model and logistic regression. RESULTS We evaluated 96,974 surgical patients aged 15 and 64. During the 6-month period following surgery, 10,464 (10.8%) patients had an OR-AE. Outcome rates were significantly higher for patients with depression (17.5%), diabetes (13.1%) or obesity (11.1%). The random forest model achieved the best predictive performance (AUC: 0.877; F1-score: 0.57; recall: 0.69; precision:0.48). An opioid disorder diagnosis prior to surgery was the most important feature for the model, which was well calibrated and had good discrimination. CONCLUSIONS A machine learning models to predict risk of OR-AE following surgery performed well in external validation. This work could be used to assist pain management following surgery for Medicaid beneficiaries and supports a precision medicine approach to opioid prescribing.

Phang SKA, Betzler BK, Dan YR, Bin Abd Razak HR. Current evidence does not support the routine use of cognitive behavioural therapy in total knee arthroplasty: A systematic review. 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
Depression and anxiety are associated with substantial morbidity, including physical deterioration. Connecting individuals to timely care improves outcomes. Unfortunately, significant gaps remain between the demand for behavioral healthcare and the supply of care. Further, estimates of demand are based on retrospective and/or non-localized measures, which impedes planning. This poses an opportunity to rethink how to close this gap. Health systems are better positioned than ever to do so, given novel technologies, data, and community integration. By developing more localized, real-time models of depression and anxiety demand and healthcare supply, health systems can better prioritize resource deployment and partnerships to proactively meet patient needs.
