Sochacki KR, et al. - Researchers ascertained the prevalence of depression in patients who underwent hip arthroscopy for the treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) syndrome. They also determined whether or not depression had a statistically significant and clinically relevant impact on preoperative and postoperative patient-reported outcome scores. Minimal depressive symptoms with the higher overall prevalence were seen in most patients undergoing hip arthroscopy for FAI vs the general population. Statistically and clinically better preoperative and postoperative patient-reported outcomes were seen in patients with minimal or mild depressive symptoms. These patients demonstrated a greater likeliness of obtaining clinical benefit from surgery and to reach a patient acceptable symptom state after surgery than patients with moderate to severe depressive symptoms.
