ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that patients with a diagnosis of depression suffer worse outcomes after total joint arthroplasty (TJA) procedures. It is unclear whether depression treatment is a modifiable risk factor that can be targeted to improve suboptimal outcomes. We conducted a systematic review to understand the role that various interventions have on outcomes of TJA in patients with diagnosed depression (PDDs).METHODS:
PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, Scopus, and EMBASE were searched systematically from inception until November 2022. Studies of PDDs who underwent TJA that compared any intervention/treatment of depression with a control group and reported pain, functional outcomes, depression scores, and/or revision rates after TJA were relevant for this review.RESULTS:
Ten relevant studies were included in the final systematic review, with a total of 33,501 patients included. Two studies reported lower revision rates for patients receiving selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor treatment and psychotherapy. Two studies showed no difference in functional outcomes for patients receiving pharmacologic treatment. One study reported improved functional outcomes for patients receiving cognitive behavioral therapy and another reported improved postoperative functional outcomes for patients receiving alprazolam.CONCLUSION:
Interventions targeted at PDDs may improve short-term pain and functional outcomes, and there may be an association between selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor use and implant survival. The current literature is limited and inconclusive, with important gaps in understanding regarding the optimization and treatment of this modifiable risk factor. Surgeons should consider depression treatment as a method to improve outcomes in this cohort.
