Prevalence of Clinical Depression Among Patients After Shoulder Stabilization
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Depression is a potential risk factor for poor postoperative outcomes. This study aimed to identify the prevalence of clinical depression symptoms before and after shoulder stabilization, as well as the relationship between depression and functional outcomes. METHODS: Patients undergoing arthroscopic primary glenohumeral stabilization for recurrent instability were eligible for enrollment. Participants completed the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology-Self Report (QIDS-SR) and the Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI) questionnaire preoperatively and at 6 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, and 1 year postoperatively. Patients with a preoperative QIDS-SR score of ≥6 were assigned to the clinical depression group. RESULTS: Seventy-six patients were enrolled and were prospectively followed during this study. Thirty-nine patients were stratified into the clinical depression group. Preoperatively, the clinical depression cohort had worse WOSI scores than the cohort without clinical depression (mean difference, 8.3% [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.5% to 16.1%]; p = 0.04). Both the clinical depression cohort and the cohort without clinical depression displayed an improvement in WOSI scores at 1 year postoperatively (p < 0.01 for both cohorts). Both the clinical depression cohort and the cohort without clinical depression displayed an improvement in QIDS-SR scores at 1 year postoperatively (p < 0.01 for both cohorts). At 1 year postoperatively, the clinical depression cohort continued to have worse WOSI scores than the cohort without clinical depression (mean difference, 12.2% [95% CI, 5.9% to 18.5%]; p < 0.01) and worse QIDS-SR scores; the median QIDS-SR score was 5.0 points (interquartile range [IQR], 2.0 to 8.0 points) for the clinical depression group and 0.0 points (IQR, 0.0 to 3.0 points) for the group without clinical depression (p < 0.01). The postoperative prevalence of clinical depression (24%) was lower than the preoperative prevalence (51%) (p < 0.01). Increasing patient age was associated with preoperative depression symptoms (odds ratio, 3.1; p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: Fifty-one percent of patients with shoulder instability reported depression symptoms before the surgical procedure. Surgical intervention improved shoulder function and depression symptoms over time; however, the clinical depression cohort had worse postoperative shoulder and depression outcomes. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Prognostic Level II. See Instructions for Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
