Brief summary (from the registry)

Background: Postoperative depression is a significant complication that hinders recovery in elderly patients undergoing joint replacement surgery. Although preoperative chronic pain is common in this population and pain and depression frequently coexist, the predictive role and underlying mechanisms of preoperative chronic pain on postoperative depression remain unclear. This study aims to systematically explore the association between the two, providing a basis for optimizing perioperative management and improving patient outcomes. Methods: This study is a secondary analysis of multicenter prospective data, including elderly patients who underwent elective knee or hip replacement surgery between April 2020 and April 2022 from a perioperative database of elderly patients in China. The impact of preoperative chronic pain on the occurrence of depressive states within 7 days after surgery was systematically evaluated using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis, propensity score matching, and subgroup analysis.
