Do psychiatric disorders affect patient reported outcomes and clinical outcomes post total hip and knee arthroplasty?

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of major psychiatric illness on patient outcomes after total joint arthroplasty.

Methods

Patients with a diagnosis of a major psychiatric disorder undergoing total joint arthroplasty were retrospectively matched one-to-one with a cohort without such a diagnosis. Major psychiatric disorder in the registry was identified by diagnosis of anxiety, mood, or a psychotic disorder. Primary outcome of interest included perioperative Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC). Secondary outcomes included EuroQol-5D, adverse events, length of stay, 30-day readmission, and discharge destination.

Results

Total number of patients were 1828. The total hip arthroplasty (37.80 ± 17.91, p = 0.023) and the total knee arthroplasty psychiatric group (43.38 ± 18.41, p = 0.050) had significantly lower pre-operative WOMAC scores. At 3 months, the total hip arthroplasty (76.74 ± 16.94, p = 0.036) and total knee arthroplasty psychiatric group (71.09 ± 18.64, p < 0.01) again had significantly lower 3-month post-operative WOMAC score compared to the control groups. However, outcomes at 1 year were difficult to interpret, as patients with major psychiatric conditions had an extremely high loss to follow-up. Compared to the control groups, the total hip arthroplasty and total knee arthroplasty psychiatric group had an increased length of stay by 1.43 days (p < 0.01) and 0.77 days, respectively (p = 0.05). Similarly, the psychiatric groups were discharged directly home less often (total hip arthroplasty 86.9%, p = 0.024 and total knee arthroplasty 87.6%, p = 0.022) than the control groups.

Conclusion

Patients with the diagnosis of a major psychiatric illness have an increased length of stay and are more likely to require a rehabilitation facility, compared to the control groups. Arguably, of utmost importance, there is a very high rate of loss to follow-up within the psychiatric groups. As such, we recommend these patients should be treated for their diagnosis prior to total joint arthroplasty. Furthermore, importance of clinical follow-up should be emphasized carefully.

Project description:BackgroundThere is an existing perception that obesity has a negative impact on complications following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, data on the impact of obesity levels on patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) is sparse. We investigated the association between different obesity classes with PROMs among patients who underwent TKA.MethodsWe performed retrospective secondary analyses on data extracted from the total joint replacement data repository (Alberta, Canada) managed by the Alberta Bone and Joint Health Institute (ABJHI). Patients had WOMAC and EQ5D scores measured at baseline in addition to 3 and/or 12 months following TKA. Patients were stratified according to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification, into five body mass index (BMI) groups of normal, overweight, BMI class I, BMI class II, and BMI class III. The association between BMI and mean changes in WOMAC subscales (pain, function, and stiffness) and EQ-5D-5L index over the time intervals of baseline to 3 months and 3 to 12 months following TKA was assessed. Linear mixed-effects models were used, and the models were adjusted for age, sex, length of surgery, comorbidities, year of surgery, and geographical zone where the surgery was performed.ResultsMean age was 65.5 years (SD = 8.7). Postoperatively, there was a significant improvement (p < 0.001) in WOMAC subscales of patient-reported pain, function, and stiffness, as well as EQ-5D-5L regardless of BMI group. Although, patients in BMI class II and class III reported significantly improved pain 3 months after TKA compared to those with normal BMI, all BMI groups attained similar level of pain reduction at 12 months after TKA. The greatest improvement in all WOMAC subscales, as well as EQ5D index, occurred between baseline and 3 months (adjusted p < 0.0001).ConclusionThe findings indicate that patients reported improved pain, function, and stiffness across all BMI groups following TKA. Patients with BMI classified as obese reported similar benefits to those with BMI classified as normal weight. These results may help health care providers to discuss expectations regarding the TKA recovery in terms of pain, function, and quality of life improvements with their TKA candidates.

Project description:ImportanceThe optimal pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis agent after total hip and total knee arthroplasty is uncertain and consensus is lacking. Quantifying the risk of postoperative venous thromboembolism (VTE) and bleeding and evaluating comparative effectiveness and safety of the thromboprophylaxis strategies can inform care.ObjectiveTo quantify risk factors for postoperative VTE and bleeding and compare patient outcomes among pharmacological thromboprophylaxis agents used after total hip and knee arthroplasty.Design, setting, and participantsThis retrospective cohort study used data from a large health care claims database. Participants included patients in the United States with hip or knee arthroplasty and continuous insurance enrollment 3 months prior to and following their surgical procedure. Patients were excluded if they received anticoagulation before surgery, received no postsurgical pharmacological thromboprophylaxis, or had multiple postsurgery thromboprophylactic agents. In a propensity-matched analysis, patients receiving a direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) were matched with those receiving aspirin.ExposuresAspirin, apixaban, rivaroxaban, enoxaparin, or warfarin.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary outcome was 30-day cumulative incidence of postdischarge VTE. Other outcomes included postdischarge bleeding.ResultsAmong 29 264 patients included in the final cohort, 17 040 (58.2%) were female, 27 897 (95.2%) had inpatient admissions with median (IQR) length of stay of 2 (1-2) days, 10 948 (37.4%) underwent total hip arthroplasty, 18 316 (62.6%) underwent total knee arthroplasty; and median (IQR) age was 59 (55-63) years. At 30 days, cumulative incidence of VTE was 1.19% (95% CI, 1.06%-1.32%) and cumulative incidence of bleeding was 3.43% (95% CI, 3.22%-3.64%). In the multivariate analysis, leading risk factors associated with increased VTE risk included prior VTE history (odds ratio [OR], 5.94 [95% CI, 4.29-8.24]), a hereditary hypercoagulable state (OR, 2.64 [95% CI, 1.32-5.28]), knee arthroplasty (OR, 1.65 [95% CI, 1.29-2.10]), and male sex (OR, 1.34 [95% CI, 1.08-1.67]). In a propensity-matched cohort of 7844 DOAC-aspirin pairs, there was no significant difference in the risk of VTE in the first 30 days after the surgical procedure (OR, 1.14 [95% CI, 0.82-1.59]), but postoperative bleeding was more frequent in patients receiving DOACs (OR, 1.36 [95% CI, 1.13-1.62]).Conclusions and relevanceIn this cohort study of patients who underwent total hip or total knee arthroplasty, underlying patient risk factors, but not choice of aspirin or DOAC, were associated with postsurgical VTE. Postoperative bleeding rates were lower in patients prescribed aspirin. These results suggest that thromboprophylaxis strategies should be patient-centric and tailored to individual risk of thrombosis and bleeding.

Project description:ObjectiveThis systematic review aims to summarise all the available evidence related to the association between pre-operative patient expectations (outcome expectations, process expectations and self efficacy expectations) and 5 different treatment outcomes (overall improvement, pain, function, stiffness and satisfaction) in patients with total knee or total hip arthroplasty at three different follow-op periods (>6 weeks; >6 weeks- ?6 months; >6 months).MethodsEnglish and Dutch language articles were identified through PubMed, EMBASE.com, PsycINFO, CINAHL and The Cochrane Library from inception to September 2012. Articles assessing the association between pre-operative patient expectations and treatment outcomes for TKA/THA in either adjusted or unadjusted analysis were included. Two reviewers, working independently, determined eligibility, rated methodological quality and extracted data on study design, population, expectation measurements, outcome measurements and strength of the associations. Methodological quality was rated by the same reviewers on a 19 item scale. The scores on the quality assessment were taken into account when drawing final conclusions.ResultsThe search strategy generated 2252 unique references, 18 articles met inclusion criteria. Scores on the methodological quality assessment ranged between 6% and 79%. Great variety was seen in definitions and measurement methods of expectations. No significant associations were found between patient expectations and overall improvement, satisfaction and stiffness. Both significant positive and non-significant associations were found for the association between expectations and pain and function.ConclusionsThere was no consistency in the association between patients' pre-operative expectations and treatment outcomes for TKA and THA indentified in this systematic review. There exists a need for a sound theoretical framework underlying the construct of 'patient expectations' and consistent use of valid measurement instruments to measure that construct in order to facilitate future research synthesis.
