The association between sleep quality,preoperative risk factors for chronic postoperative pain and postoperative pain intensity 12 months after knee and hip arthroplasty
Chronic postoperative pain following total joint replacement (TJA) is a substantial clinical problem, and poor sleep may affect predictive factors for postoperative pain, such as pain catastrophizing. However, the magnitude of these associations is currently unknown. This exploratory study investigated (1) the relationship between preoperative sleep quality, clinical pain intensity, pain catastrophizing, anxiety, and depression and (2) their associations with chronic postoperative pain following TJA.
Methods:
This secondary analysis from a larger randomized controlled trial included rest pain intensity (preoperative and 12 months postoperative; visual analogue scale, VAS), preoperative Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) data from 74 knee and 89 hip osteoarthritis (OA) patients scheduled for TJA. Poor sleepers were identified based on preoperative PSQI scores higher than 5.
Results:
Poor sleepers demonstrated higher preoperative VAS, pain catastrophizing, anxiety, and depression compared with good sleepers (all p < 0.003). Preoperative PSQI (β = 0.23, p = 0.006), PCS (β = 0.44, p < 0.005), and anxiety (β = 0.18, p = 0.036) were independent factors for preoperative VAS. Preoperative VAS (β = 0.32, p < 0.005), but not preoperative sleep quality (β = −0.06, p = 0.5), was an independent factor for postoperative VAS.
Conclusion:
The OA patients reporting poor preoperative sleep quality show higher preoperative pain, pain catastrophizing, anxiety, and depression. High preoperative pain intensity, but not poor sleep quality, was associated with higher chronic postoperative pain intensity. Future studies are encouraged to explore associations between sleep and chronic postoperative pain.
