Anxiety and Depression Symptoms Are Associated With Inferior Outcomes in Patients Undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Prospective Cohort Study
Anxiety and depression symptoms were independently associated with worse postoperative subjective function, pain, and quality of life after THA and longer hospital stays. This reinforces the role of psychological factors in surgical recovery. While these patients experience major clinical improvement after THA, their recovery trajectories differ, emphasizing the need for tailored perioperative counseling and psychological support.
