RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The relationship between patient expectations and patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients is controversial. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of preoperative patient expectations on postoperative PROs and patient satisfaction. METHODS: This was a prospective multicenter observational cohort study of primary THA patients. Preoperatively, patients completed Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) Hip Replacement Expectations Survey (expectations), 12 item Short Form Survey (SF-12), University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) activity score, and Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Score (HOOS). Postoperatively at 6 months and 1 year, patients completed the Hospital for Special Surgery Hip Replacement Fulfillment of Expectations Survey (fulfillment of expectations), a satisfaction survey, and the same PROs as preoperatively. Stepwise multivariate regression models were created. RESULTS: A total of 207 patients were enrolled. Follow-up rate was 91% at 6 months and 92% at 1 year. Being employed and lower baseline HOOS predicted higher expectations (employment status: B = -7.5, P = .002; HOOS: B = -0.27, P = .002). Higher preoperative expectations predicted greater improvements in UCLA activity, SF-12 physical component score, and HOOS at 6 months (UCLA activity: B = 0.03, P = .001; SF-12 physical component score: B = 0.15, P = .001; HOOS: B = 0.20; P = .008) and UCLA activity at 1 year (B = 0.02, P = .004). Furthermore, higher expectations predicted higher postoperative satisfaction and fulfillment of expectations at 6 months (satisfaction: B = 0.21, P < .001; fulfillment of expectations: B = 0.30, P < .001) and higher fulfillment of expectations at 1 year (B = 0.17, P = .006). CONCLUSION: In patients undergoing THA, being employed and worse preoperative hip function predict of higher preoperative expectations of surgery. Higher expectations predict greater improvement in PROs, greater patient satisfaction, and the fulfillment of expectations. These findings can be used to guide patient counseling and shared decision making preoperatively.

BACKGROUND: The relationship between patient expectations, patient-reported outcomes (PROs), and satisfaction in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) patients is not well understood. METHODS: We prospectively evaluated patients who underwent primary TKA at 4 institutions. Demographics were collected. Preoperatively, patients completed the Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Replacement Expectations Survey (HSS-KRES), SF-12, UCLA activity, and Knee Disability and Osteoarthritis Score. At 6 months and 1 year postoperatively, patients completed the Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Replacement Fulfillment of Expectations Survey (HSS-KRFES), a satisfaction survey, and PROs. Step-wise multivariate regression models were created. RESULTS: Eighty-three patients were enrolled. At 6 months and 1 year postoperatively, the follow-up rate was 84.3% and 92.7%, respectively. No demographics or preoperative PROs were predictive of HSS-KRES. Preoperative HSS-KRES did not predict postoperative satisfaction, but higher HSS-KRES predicted higher HSS-KRFES at 1 year, greater improvement in UCLA activity at 6 months and 1 year, and SF-12 Physical Composite Scale and Knee Disability and Osteoarthritis Score at 6 months. Higher HSS-KRFES predicted higher satisfaction at 6 months and 1 year. CONCLUSION: In TKA patients, preoperative expectations are not influenced by patient demographics or preoperative function. Higher preoperative expectations predict greater postoperative improvement in PROs and fulfillment of expectations. These findings highlight the importance of preoperative patient expectations on postoperative outcome.

In this case report, we present an 82-year-old female who was diagnosed with catatonia after she exhibited immobility, mutism, withdrawal, and stereotypy during a hospitalization for altered mental status. Fentanyl was found in her urine toxicology, and it was later discovered that she had been taking non-prescription pills from Mexico that were likely the source of the fentanyl. Her catatonia quickly remitted with benzodiazepine treatment. This case underscores previously unknown risks of substance use, which has grown especially important to psychiatric care considering how rampant the opioid epidemic has become. More so, these risks extend beyond opioid use disorders since other non-prescription drugs are commonly laced with fentanyl. Not only does this education need to be given to providers and patients alike, but further research should be conducted to establish and quantify the risk of catatonia with opioid withdrawal.
