Abstract

Introduction: Mental illnesses are well-known factors that contribute to poor outcomes among total hip arthroplasty (THA) patients. However, a dichotomized mental illness diagnosis may not reflect the complex biopsychosocial factors contributing to a patient's health. Investigating patients who achieve positive outcomes despite having risk factors, known as positive deviants, may help identify protective characteristics and decrease health disparities among this growing population of patients. Using preoperative Mental Health T-scores (MHT) from the PROMIS-10 Global Health questionnaire among patients with a mental illness diagnosis, the purpose of this study was to explore whether patients with above-average MHT, or positive deviants, experienced a different immediate postoperative recovery path compared with patients with below-average MHT. Methods: This was a retrospective chart review of patients undergoing elective primary THA. Patients with a formal diagnosis of a mental health condition were divided based on their MHT (above average [AA] >50, average [A] 40 to 50, below average [BA] <40). Postsurgical parameters included total opioid consumption, self-reported pain scores, and discharge disposition. Results: A total of 299 patients were analyzed. After controlling for length of stay and type of mental illness, patients in the AA-MHT and A-MHT groups used 33.8 and 29.8 morphine milligram equivalents less than patients in the BA-MHT group during the inpatient stay, respectively. Patients in the AA-MHT group reported a 1.0 lower pain with activity score at discharge compared with patients in the BA-MHT group. Discussion: The intersection between patients with a mental illness in need of a THA is becoming more commonplace. Data suggest that patients with a mental illness who report AA-MHT on the PROMIS-10 Global Health questionnaire may represent positive deviants or those with a more positive in-hospital recovery path compared with those patients with BA-MHT. Level of evidence: Diagnostic study–retrospective cohort study.
