TABLE 4.
Primary and secondary outcomes based on history of anxiety or depression among matched patients. Estimate of average treatment effect comparing history of anxiety or depression versus none. Primary outcome presented as oral morphine equivalent (OME)
| Estimate of average treatment effect | History of anxiety or depression (n = 50) | No history of anxiety or depression (n = 50) | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary outcome | Mean (SD) | Mean (SD) | P-value | |
| Opioid use POD0-1, OME (mean) | (+) 6.44 | 89.43 (60.35) | 101.81 (51.48) | 0.540 |
| Secondary outcomes | Mean (SD) | Mean (SD) | P-value | |
| Median pain score during hospitalization | (+) 0.07 | 4.14 (1.54) | 4.48 (1.74) | 0.827 |
| Length of hospital stay, days (mean) | (+) 0.25 | 1.82 (0.80) | 1.82 (0.66) | 0.126 |
| OR | 95% CI LCL | 95% CI UCL | P-value | |
| Acute pain service consulted postoperatively | 0.98 | 0.94 | 1.03 | 0.469 |
| Emergency department visit within one week of discharge | 1.04 | 0.97 | 1.12 | 0.242 |
| Readmission to hospital within one week of discharge | 1.04 | 0.98 | 1.10 | 0.219 |
SD – standard deviation, CI – confidence interval, LCL – lower confidence interval, UCL – upper confidence interval, POD0-1 – postoperative day 0 through 1, OR – odds ratio.
