Do Psychological Factors Predict Poor Outcome in Patients Undergoing TKA? A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A subgroup of patients undergoing TKA is unhappy with the outcome of surgery and preoperative psychological factors may play a role in their dissatisfaction.

Questions/purposes

We asked whether (1) psychological factors, as measured by preoperative self-reported questionnaires, predicted poor outcome after TKA, and (2) whether certain psychological factors examined predicted poor outcome better than others.

Methods

We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective observational studies published in MEDLINE, CINAHL®, EMBASE™, and PsycINFO® databases from their date of inception to October 2013, augmented with a manual search of bibliographies. Study eligibility was performed according to an a priori protocol. Included studies were assessed for quality according to the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Two reviewers independently performed the search, identified eligible studies, assessed their methodologic quality, and extracted data. Outcomes of interest included postoperative dissatisfaction, pain, or limited function of the patients.

Results

A total of 19 studies (17 cohort studies and two cross-sectional surveys) containing data on 9046 TKAs performed in 8704 adult patients were included in the review. Mean patient age was 68 years and followup ranged from 6 to 60 months (mean study followup, 14 months). Clinical and methodologic heterogeneity in study design prevented the statistical pooling of data and subsequent meta-analysis. Dissatisfaction rates with TKA ranged from 7.5% to 28.3%. Psychological health was deemed a significant predictor of satisfaction, pain, or function at a minimum of 6 months after TKA in 16 studies. The remaining three studies did not find this relationship. Baseline mental health factors may affect patient satisfaction, their long-term perception of pain, and their motivation to return to the desired level of function. We were unable to determine the most relevant psychological states or the most appropriate way to assess them with our systematic review.

Conclusions

The preoperative psychological state of a patient may affect the outcome after a TKA. A comprehensive psychological assessment of patients is required to examine the long-term effect of such psychological factors on the eventual outcomes of TKA once the recovery phase is complete and to assess the effect that treatment for these psychological conditions may have on decreasing the dissatisfaction rate with TKA in this population.

Project description:ObjectiveTendinopathy is often a disabling, and persistent musculoskeletal disorder. Psychological factors appear to play a role in the perpetuation of symptoms and influence recovery in musculoskeletal pain. To date, the impact of psychological factors on clinical outcome in tendinopathy remains unclear. Therefore, the purpose of this systematic review was to investigate the strength of association between psychological factors and clinical outcome in tendinopathy.MethodsA systematic review of the literature and qualitative synthesis of published trials was conducted. Electronic searches of ovid MEDLINE, ovid EMBASE, PsychINFO, CINAHL and Cochrane Library was undertaken from their inception to June 2020. Eligibility criteria included RCT's and studies of observational design incorporating measurements of psychological factors and pain, disability and physical functional outcomes in people with tendinopathy. Risk of Bias was assessed by two authors using a modified version of the Newcastle Ottawa Scale. High or low certainty evidence was examined using the GRADE criteria.ResultsTen studies of observational design (6-cross sectional and 4 prospective studies), involving a sample of 719 participants with tendinopathy were included. Risk of bias for the included studies ranged from 12/21 to 21/21. Cross-sectional studies of low to very low level of certainty evidence revealed significant weak to moderate strength of association (r = 0.24 to 0.53) between psychological factors and clinical outcomes. Prospective baseline data of very low certainty evidence showed weak strength of association between psychological factors and clinical outcome. However, prospective studies were inconsistent in showing a predictive relationship between baseline psychological factors on long-term outcome. Cross sectional studies report similar strengths of association between psychological factors and clinical outcomes in tendinopathy to those found in other musculoskeletal conditions.ConclusionThe overall body of the evidence after applying the GRADE criteria was low to very low certainty evidence, due to risk of bias, imprecision and indirectness found across included studies. Future, high quality longitudinal cohort studies are required to investigate the predictive value of baseline psychological factors on long-term clinical outcome.

Project description:IntroductionAcute liver failure is a rare disease with high mortality and liver transplantation is the only life saving therapy. Accurate prognosis of ALF is crucial for proper intervention.AimTo identify and characterize newly developed prognostic models of mortality for ALF patients, assess study quality, identify important variables and provide recommendations for the development of improved models in the future.MethodsThe online databases MEDLINE® (1950-2012) and EMBASE® (1980-2012) were searched for English-language articles that reported original data from clinical trials or observational studies on prognostic models in ALF patients. Studies were included if they developed a new model or modified existing prognostic models. The studies were evaluated based on an existing framework for scoring the methodological and reporting quality of prognostic models.ResultsTwenty studies were included, of which 18 reported on newly developed models, 1 on modification of the Kings College Criteria (KCC) and 1 on the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD). Ten studies compared the newly developed models to previously existing models (e.g. KCC); they all reported that the new models were superior. In the 12-point methodological quality score, only one study scored full points. On the 38-point reporting score, no study scored full points. There was a general lack of reporting on missing values. In addition, none of the studies used performance measures for calibration and accuracy (e.g. Hosmer-Lemeshow statistics, Brier score), and only 5 studies used the AUC as a measure of discrimination.ConclusionsThere are many studies on prognostic models for ALF but they show methodological and reporting limitations. Future studies could be improved by better reporting and handling of missing data, the inclusion of model calibration aspects, use of absolute risk measures, explicit considerations for variable selection, the use of a more extensive set of reference models and more thorough validation.

Project description:Background:Respiratory parameters are important predictors of prognosis in the COPD population. Global Initiative for Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) 2017 Update resulted in a vertical shift of patients across COPD categories, with category B being the most populous and clinically heterogeneous. The aim of our study was to investigate whether respiratory parameters might be associated with increased all-cause mortality within GOLD category B patients. Methods:The data were extracted from the Czech Multicentre Research Database, a prospective, noninterventional multicenter study of COPD patients. Kaplan-Meier survival analyses were performed at different levels of respiratory parameters (partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood [PaO2], partial pressure of arterial carbon dioxide [PaCO2] and greatest decrease of basal peripheral capillary oxygen saturation during 6-minute walking test [6-MWT]). Univariate analyses using the Cox proportional hazard model and multivariate analyses were used to identify risk factors for mortality in hypoxemic and hypercapnic individuals with COPD. Results:All-cause mortality in the cohort at 3 years of prospective follow-up reached 18.4%. Chronic hypoxemia (PaO2 <7.3 kPa), hypercapnia (PaCO2 >7.0 kPa) and oxygen desaturation during the 6-MWT were predictors of long-term mortality in COPD patients with forced expiratory volume in 1 second ?60% for the overall cohort and for GOLD B category patients. Univariate analyses confirmed the association among decreased oxemia (<7.3 kPa), increased capnemia (>7.0 kPa), oxygen desaturation during 6-MWT and mortality in the studied groups of COPD subjects. Multivariate analysis identified PaO2 <7.3 kPa as a strong independent risk factor for mortality. Conclusion:Survival analyses showed significantly increased all-cause mortality in hypoxemic and hypercapnic GOLD B subjects. More important, PaO2 <7.3 kPa was the strongest risk factor, especially in category B patients. In contrast, the majority of the tested respiratory parameters did not show a difference in mortality in the GOLD category D cohort.

Project description:Supratotal resection of primary brain tumors is being advocated especially when involving "non-eloquent" tissue. However, there is extensive neuropsychological data implicating functions critical to higher cognition in areas considered "non-eloquent" by most surgeons. The goal of the study was to determine pre-surgical brain regions that would be predictive of cognitive outcome at 4-6 months post-surgery. Cortical reconstruction and volumetric segmentation were performed with the FreeSurfer-v6.0 image analysis suite. Linear regression models were used to regress cortical volumes from both hemispheres, against the total cognitive z-score to determine the relationship between brain structure and broad cognitive functioning while controlling for age, sex, and total segmented brain volume. We identified 62 consecutive patients who underwent planned awake resections of primary (n = 55, 88%) and metastatic at the University of New Mexico Hospital between 2015 and 2019. Of those, 42 (23 males, 25 left hemispheric lesions) had complete pre and post-op neuropsychological data available and were included in this study. Overall, total neuropsychological functioning was somewhat worse (p = 0.09) at post-operative neuropsychological outcome (Mean = -.20) than at baseline (Mean = .00). Patients with radiation following resection (n = 32) performed marginally worse (p = .036). We found that several discrete brain volumes obtained pre-surgery predicted neuropsychological outcome post-resection. For the total sample, these volumes included: left fusiform, right lateral orbital frontal, right post central, and right paracentral regions. Regardless of lesion lateralization, volumes within the right frontal lobe, and specifically right orbitofrontal cortex, predicted neuropsychological difference scores. The current study highlights the gaps in our current understanding of brain eloquence. We hypothesize that the volume of tissue within the right lateral orbital frontal lobe represents important cognitive reserve capacity in patients undergoing tumor surgery. Our data also cautions the neurosurgeon when considering supratotal resections of tumors that do not extend into areas considered "non-eloquent" by current standards.
