♦️Psychosocial factors affecting outcomes after shoulder arthroplasty: a systematic review♦️
⛳This systematic review shows that psychosocial factors may play just as important role in affecting patient outcomes after total shoulder arthroplasty as technical factors
[]
👉Sixteen studies met the inclusion criteria.
1. Six reviewed mental health disorders as predictors of postoperative outcome after shoulder arthroplasty.
- Of these, 4 found that disorders such a depression and anxiety were associated with increased risk of perioperative complications and lower final functional outcome scores.
- Two studies evaluated workers' compensation status as a possible predictor of outcomes and found that patients with claims had lower satisfaction and outcome scores at final follow-up compared with those without claims.
2. Two studies showed that preoperative opioid use was associated with lower outcome scores and overall satisfaction rate after shoulder arthroplasty.
3. Three studies showed that higher patient confidence and preoperative expectations were correlated with better outcomes.
