This summary is machine-generated.

Minimally invasive lumbar decompression (MIS LD) improves depression for most patients. Preoperative depression severity, insurance, and smoking predict short-term outcomes after MIS LD.

Area of Science:

  • Spine Surgery
  • Psychiatric Comorbidities
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Depressive symptoms often improve after minimally invasive lumbar decompression (MIS LD).
  • However, some patients experience worsening depression post-surgery.
  • Predictors of these changes require investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify predictors of short-term changes in depressive symptoms following MIS LD.
  • To analyze the impact of preoperative factors on postoperative mood.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of a prospective surgical database (2016-2020).
  • Inclusion of 216 patients undergoing primary MIS LD.
  • Preoperative and postoperative (6 weeks to 1 year) 9-Item Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9) scores were collected.
  • Multivariable regression analyzed predictors of PHQ-9 change.

Main Results:

  • Patients showed significant depressive symptom improvement at all postoperative timepoints (P < 0.001).
  • Moderate to severe preoperative depression predicted worse outcomes at all timepoints.
  • Mild preoperative depression predicted worse outcomes at 6 and 12 weeks.
  • Private insurance and non-smoking status predicted better outcomes at 12 weeks.

Conclusions:

  • Depression generally improves after MIS LD.
  • Preoperative depression severity, insurance type, and smoking status are significant predictors of short-term postoperative mood changes.
