Abstract
Depression is known to negatively influence functional recovery, patient satisfaction, narcotic requirements, implant survivorship, and perioperative resource utilization after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The degree to which this effect is modifiable is largely unknown, with mixed results on preoperative pharmacological intervention, and concomitant concerns over side effects. We aim to investigate the influence of psychotherapy before THA on surgical outcomes, medical complications, and resource utilization.
A retrospective chart review of Truven MarketScan Databases was performed to generate 3 cohorts: patients without depression, patients with depression who did not receive preoperative psychotherapy, and patients with depression who received psychotherapy before surgery. Outcomes of interest were resource utilization, surgical and medical complications, narcotic requirements, and 1-year and 3-year revision rates.
On multivariate analysis, depressed patients who did not receive psychotherapy were more likely to be discharged to inpatient rehabilitation facility (odds ratio [OR] 1.28, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.10-1.48, P < .001) and require 2 or more postoperative narcotic prescriptions (OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.06-1.37, P = .004) than depressed patients who received psychotherapy. Patients who did not receive psychotherapy were more likely to have continued narcotic requirements within 1 year after surgery (OR 1.23, 95% CI 1.08-1.39, P < .001) and undergo revision at 1 year (OR 1.74, 95% CI 1.17-2.58, P = .006) and 3 years (OR 1.92, 95% CI 1.10-3.34, P = .021) than depressed patients who received psychotherapy.
The negative influence of depression on narcotic requirements, resource utilization, and implant survivorship after THA appears to be modifiable with preoperative psychotherapy.
