Psychological comorbidity was defined as the presence of anxiety, depression or both.

¹adjusted for age, sex, comorbidity, anxiety, depression, BMI, preoperative pain/function.

²adjusted for age, sex, comorbidity, BMI, preoperative pain/function (not adjusted for anxiety or depression, since the groups were stratified by its presence).

³adjusted for age, sex, comorbidity, anxiety, depression, BMI, preoperative pain/function (not adjusted for BMI, since the groups were stratified by BMI).

⁴adjusted for age, sex, anxiety, depression, BMI, preoperative pain/function (not adjusted for comorbidity, since the groups were stratified by Deyo-Charlson comorbidity score).

Bold indicates significant odds ratios.
