Abstract

Objectives Recently, numerous studies have reported that psychological factors can influence the outcome of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, a systematic overview is missing. The objective of this study was to examine which psychological factors influence the outcome of TKA and THA and to what extent. Methods Data were obtained from the MEDLINE and EMBASE databases from inception to January 2011. Search terms included TKA and THA, outcome measures, and psychological aspects. Two reviewers independently selected the studies. Studies with a prospective before-after design with a minimum follow-up time of 6 weeks were included. One reviewer extracted the results and 2 reviewers independently conducted quality assessment. We distinguished between follow-up shorter and equal or longer than 1 year. Results Thirty-five of 1837 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in this systematic review. In follow-ups shorter than 1 year, and for knee patients only, strong evidence was found that patients with pain catastrophizing reported more pain postoperatively. Furthermore, strong evidence was found that preoperative depression had no influence on postoperative functioning. In long-term follow-up, 1 year after TKA, strong evidence was found that lower preoperative mental health (measures with the SF-12 or SF-36) was associated with lower scores on function and pain. For THA, only limited, conflicting, or no evidence was found. Conclusion…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
