Influence of Anxiety/Depression, Age, Gender and ASA on 1-Year Follow-Up Outcomes Following Total Hip and Knee Arthroplasty in 5447 Patients

Abstract

Preoperative anxiety/depression symptoms show worse clinical outcomes 1 year postoperatively after TJA. Other outcome-influencing factors are higher age and ASA 2 or 3. In the future, such patients should be identified, and as far as applicable, a treatment of anxiety/depression or comorbidities should be implemented preoperatively of the surgical procedure to improve clinical outcomes.
