Eads RB, et al. - In view of the observed inferior outcomes in patients undergoing orthopedic procedures in correlation with mood disorders (MD), researchers investigated how MD influence total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) outcomes. By identification of documentation of depression, anxiety, and/or use of a prescription mood-stabilizing drug, they identified MD among patients with primary TSA and a minimum of 2 years clinical and radiographic follow-up. As per findings, narcotics for pain control were four times more frequently used among patients with MD, although function improved to a comparable degree as the control group.
