Abstract
Background: Femoral head necrosis (FHN) can significantly affect patients' psychological well-being and functional outcomes. However, the long-term relationship between postoperative depression, anxiety, and functional recovery in patients with FHN remains unclear.
Aim: To investigate the dynamic changes in postoperative depression and anxiety and their relationship with functional recovery in patients with FHN for 3 years.
Methods: Ninety-three patients with FHN who underwent surgical treatment in March 2020 to 2023 were enrolled in this longitudinal study. Depression and anxiety status were assessed using the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) at baseline, 6 months, 1, 2, and 3 years postoperatively. Functional recovery was evaluated using the Harris hip score (HHS). The dynamic changes in HADS and HHS were analyzed using repeated measures ANOVA; the relationship between depression/anxiety status and functional recovery was examined using Pearson's correlation analysis.
Results: The mean HADS-depression (HADS-D) and HADS-anxiety (HADS-A) scores significantly improved over time (P < 0.001). The prevalence of depression and anxiety decreased from 36.6% and 41.9% at baseline to 10.8% and 12.9%, respectively, at 3 years postoperatively. The mean HHS increased significantly from 52.3 ± 10.5 at baseline to 88.1 ± 7.2 at 3 years postoperatively (P < 0.001). Significant negative correlations were found between HADS-D/HADS-A scores and HHS at all time points (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: The severity of depression and anxiety negatively correlated with functional recovery, highlighting the importance of psychological interventions in the management of patients with FHN.
期刊介绍:
The World Journal of Psychiatry (WJP) is a high-quality, peer reviewed, open-access journal. The primary task of WJP is to rapidly publish high-quality original articles, reviews, editorials, and case reports in the field of psychiatry. In order to promote productive academic communication, the peer review process for the WJP is transparent; to this end, all published manuscripts are accompanied by the anonymized reviewers’ comments as well as the authors’ responses. The primary aims of the WJP are to improve diagnostic, therapeutic and preventive modalities and the skills of clinicians and to guide clinical practice in psychiatry.
