ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Depression and anxiety are common comorbidities that may exacerbate osteoarthritis (OA)-related pain. We aim to evaluate the effect of pharmacologic treatment of depression/anxiety on hip and knee patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs).METHODS:
A multi-institutional PROMs database was queried for patients with depression or anxiety and hip or knee OA who completed a PROMs questionnaire at an initial orthopaedic visit between January 2015 and March 2023. Data on demographics, comorbidities, and duration of pharmacologic treatment of depression/anxiety were obtained. Patients were stratified into three cohorts based on treatment duration. PROMs were compared across cohorts.RESULTS:
Two thousand nine hundred sixty patients who completed PROMs at their initial orthopaedic visit had both OA and depression/anxiety. One hundred thirty-four (4.5%) received pharmacologic treatment of depression/anxiety for < 1 year, versus 196 (6.6%) for more than 1 year. In unadjusted analyses, patients with pharmacologic treatment had significantly lower Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS)-Physical (39.8 [IQR 34.9, 44.9] vs 42.3 [37.4, 47.7], P < 0.001) and PROMIS-Mental (43.5 [36.3, 50.8] vs 48.3 [41.1, 53.3], P < 0.001) scores than those without treatment. After adjusting for demographics and comorbidities, only differences in PROMIS-Mental scores remained statistically significant, with pharmacologic treatment associated with lower scores (ß = -2.26, 95% CI, [-3.29, -1.24], P < 0.001). On secondary analysis including duration of pharmacologic treatment, < 1 year of treatment was associated with significantly lower PROMIS-Mental scores than those not treated (ß = -4.20, 95% CI [-5.77, -2.62], P < 0.001) while scores of patients with more than 1 year of treatment did not differ significantly from those without treatment.CONCLUSION:
Our results indicate that pharmacologic treatment of depression/anxiety is associated with improved psychological health but not with improved physical symptoms related to OA. We observed a nonsignificant trend that patients with depression/anxiety who warrant pharmacologic treatment tend to have worse physical symptoms than those who do not; however, unadjusted analyses suggest this is a complex relationship beyond the isolated effect of pharmacologic treatment.
