TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY OUTCOMES AND PREOPERATIVE PATIENT PSYCHOLOGICAL FACTORS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We sought to determine the relationship between patient preoperative psychological factors and postoperative THA outcomes. We performed an electronic search up to December 2021 using the following terms: “(mental OR psychological OR psychiatric) AND (function OR trait OR state OR predictor OR health) AND (outcome OR success OR recovery OR response) AND total joint arthroplasty)”. Peer-reviewed, English language studies regarding THA outcomes were analyzed for preoperative patient mental health metrics and objective postoperative results regarding pain, functionality and surgical complications. We extracted study data, assessed the risk of bias of included studies, grouped them by outcome measure and performed a GRADE assessment. Seventeen of 702 studies fulfilled inclusion criteria and were included in the review. Overall, compared to cohorts with a normal psychological status, patients with higher objective measures of preoperative depression and anxiety reported increased postoperative pain, decreased functionality and greater complications following THA. Additionally, participants with lower self-efficacy or somatization were found to have worse functional outcomes. Following surgery, both early and late pain scores remained higher in patients with preoperative depression and anxiety. Preoperative depression and anxiety may negatively impact patient reported postoperative pain, physical function and complications following THA. A meta-analysis was not performed because of the heterogeneity of studies, specifically the use of differing pain scales and measures of physical and psychological function as well as varied follow-up times. Future research could test interventions to treat pre-operative depression or anxiety and explore longitudinal outcomes in THA patients. Surgeons should consider the preoperative psychological status when counseling patients regarding expected surgical outcomes and attempt to treat a patient's depression or anxiety prior to undergoing total hip arthroplasty.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
