Abstract

Background

Independent predictors of clinical outcomes following arthroscopic shoulder surgery include preoperative anxiety and depression. Few research, meanwhile, have examined relationships between surgery and the effects on mental health of these patients .

Purpose

To assess the effects of shoulder surgery and rehabilitation on anxiety and depression in patients.
Study Design: Prospective cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

Methods

A total of 42 consecutive patients who underwent arthroscopic shoulder surgeries were enrolled . Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale , montgomery asberg depression rating scale and clinical outcomes were assessed using the visual analogue scale, ASES, Quick dash score at 2weeks,4 weeks , 6 weeks , 8 weeks , 3 months and 6 months.

Results

Patients undergoing rotator cuff repair had a significant increase in anxiety and depression at 4 weeks following surgery ( HADS A 2.2 vs 4.6 , HADS D 1.8 vs 5.6 p (< 0.01) ) which returned to preoperative levels 3 months following surgery . There was no correlation between the anxiety and depression with the functional outcomes during the 6 months of followup . All the patients had a significant improvement in the Quick DASH score and the ASES score at final followup ( p <0.01).

Conclusion

Shoulder surgery and rehabilitation causes a transient increase in anxiety and depressive symptoms , which is independent of the pain or functional outcomes . Also , the anxiety and depression reduces significantly at 3 months after surgery.
