Abstrakt: Background: The effect of pre-existing mental illness on outpatient surgical outcomes is not well characterized. The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between pre-existing mental illness diagnosis and postoperative complications after outpatient total knee (TKA) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) and 2) compare with inpatient total joint arthroplasty (TJA).
Methods: The Mariner Claims Database was used to capture patients undergoing outpatient TJA from 2010 to 2017. Patients were grouped into three categories: those with an existing history of anxiety and/or depression, those with severe mental illness, and those without history of mental illness. Additional subgroup analysis compared those with severe mental illness undergoing outpatient vs inpatient TJA. Outcomes were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression (P < .05).
Results: Patients undergoing outpatient TJA with prior history of anxiety and/or depression or severe mental illness had an increased risk of emergency department (ED) visits (TKA, P < .001; THA, P = .014) within 90 days compared with those without history of mental illness. Severe mental illness was also associated with increased risk of medical complications at 90 days (TKA, P < .001; THA, P = .006). When compared with those undergoing inpatient surgery, patients undergoing outpatient TKA with severe mental illness were at increased risk of periprosthetic infection (P = .005) and ED visit (P = .003) within 90 days of surgery.
Conclusion: Anxiety/depression and severe mental illness are associated with higher rates of ED visits after outpatient TJA. Patients with severe mental illness also experienced more adverse events, whereas those with anxiety and/or depression had similar rates compared with control. A higher rate of adverse outcomes was seen after TKA in patients with severe mental illness when surgery was performed in the outpatient setting vs those that had surgery as an inpatient.
