ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Symptoms of depression have been associated with greater incapability following total hip arthroplasty (THA). A brief, 2-question, measure of symptoms of depression - the Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2) - may be sufficient to measure associations with the magnitude of incapability during recovery from THA. This study investigated whether preoperative symptoms of depression (measured with the PHQ-2) correlated with levels of incapability 6 weeks and 6 months after THA, accounting for demographic and clinical factors.METHODS:
We performed a prospective cohort study across 5 centers and recruited 101 patients undergoing THA, of whom 90 (89%) completed follow-up. Patients completed demographics, a preoperative 2-item (PHQ-2) measure of symptoms of depression, and the Hip Dysfunction and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score for Joint Replacement (HOOS JR) at 6-weeks and 6-months postoperatively. Negative binomial regression models determined factors associated with HOOS JR at 6 weeks and 6 months, accounting for potential confounders.RESULTS:
Accounting for potential confounding factors, we found that higher preoperative PHQ-2 scores (reflecting greater symptoms of depression) were associated with lower HOOS JR scores (reflecting a greater level of hip disability) at both 6 weeks (regression coefficient = -0.67, P < .001) and 6 months (regression coefficient = -1.9, P < .001) after THA.CONCLUSIONS:
Symptoms of depression on a 2-question preoperative questionnaire are common, and greater symptoms of depression are associated with reduced capability within the first year following THA. These findings support the prioritization of routine mental health assessments before THA. Measuring mindset using relatively brief instruments will be important considering the current shift toward implementing self-reported measures of health status in clinical practice and incorporating them within alternative payment models.Palabras clave
