Abstract: | The aim of this study was to examine whether depression is a strong predictor of elevated postoperative pain levels following orthopedic surgery and whether the implementation of standardized pain management is more beneficial for patients with depression. We performed a non-randomized, prospective study with two different groups of patients who underwent orthopedic surgery. Group 1 (n=249) received non-standardized pain therapy whereas group 2 (n = 243) was treated with a standardized pain management concept. Effects of the treatment were monitored with a VAS-based pain assessment protocol. Depression was measured preoperatively with the self-reported Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Patients with the probable diagnosis of a current episode of major depression showed significantly higher postoperative pain than patients without a depressive episode. On the other hand, patients with depression benefited from the implementation of standardized pain management. Our data suggest a predictive value of depression for severe postoperative pain. Patients with depression benefited from standardized postoperative pain therapy, but were still suffering from significantly higher postoperative pain. |
