Effects of preexisting depression and anxiety on postoperative outcomes following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Rotator cuff repairs (RCRs) are one of the most commonly performed shoulder surgeries in the United States. Psychological health has been shown to influence postoperative outcomes in orthopedic procedures. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between depression and anxiety (DA) and psychotropic medication and postoperative outcomes following RCR.

Methods

A single institution retrospective observational cohort study of 816 patients undergoing arthroscopic RCR from January 2014 to October 2020 was conducted. Univariate statistics were used to assess differences in demographics, operative characteristics, and postoperative outcomes; multivariate analysis was used to evaluate risk factors for postoperative complications.
