Effect of Mental Health Diagnoses on Postoperative Outcomes and Secondary Treatment Utilization After Surgery for Adhesive Capsulitis: A Retrospective Large Database Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Adhesive capsulitis (AC) is a debilitating condition that markedly affects shoulder mobility and function. Mental health disorders have been associated with poorer outcomes for orthopaedic patients; however, their specific effect on postoperative outcomes after surgery for AC remains underexplored.

Methods

Patients who underwent arthroscopic capsular release or manipulation under anesthesia for AC were identified in the PearlDiver database. Patients with preexisting mental health diagnoses (anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia) were matched 1:1 with control subjects based on age, sex, and Charlson Comorbidity Index. Rates of 90-day complications and 2-year surgical outcomes were analyzed through multivariable logistic regression. Kaplan-Meier
