Effect of Mental Health Diagnoses on Postoperative Outcomes and Secondary Treatment Utilization After Surgery for Adhesive Capsulitis: A Retrospective Large Database Analysis.
Article in Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Global research & reviews, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionAdhesive capsulitis (AC) is a debilitating condition that markedly affects shoulder mobility and function. Mental health disorders have been associated with poorer outcomes for orthopaedic patients; however, their specific effect on postoperative outcomes after surgery for AC remains underexplored.
methodsPatients who underwent arthroscopic capsular release or manipulation under anesthesia for AC were identified in the PearlDiver database. Patients with preexisting mental health diagnoses (anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia) were matched 1:1 with control subjects based on age, sex, and Charlson Comorbidity Index. Rates of 90-day complications and 2-year surgical outcomes were analyzed through multivariable logistic regression. Kaplan-Meier analyses generated 10-year cumulative incidence rates of postoperative therapeutic modalities, and a Cox proportional hazard ratio (HR) model generated HRs and 95% confidence intervals.
resultsAmong 42,862 patients identified, 26.1% had a preoperative mental health diagnosis. After matching, patients with a mental health disorder experienced greater risk for 90-day hospital readmission (odds ratio [OR] = 1.33, P < 0.001), emergency department visits (OR = 1.81, P < 0.001), and several postoperative complications, including acute kidney injury (OR = 1.60, P < 0.001), wound complications (OR = 1.63, P = 0.028), pneumonia (OR = 1.46, P < 0.001), urinary tract infection (OR = 1.22, P < 0.001), and stroke (OR = 1.75, P = 0.005). Patients with mental health disorders were also more likely to undergo physical therapy (OR = 1.18, P < 0.001), intra-articular injections (OR = 1.27, P < 0.001), and any secondary treatment (OR = 1.22, P < 0.001) 2 years after surgery. In addition, preexisting mental health disorders were associated with an increased 10-year cumulative incidence and risk of physical therapy (53.7% versus 52.0%, HR = 1.09, P 0.001), intra-articular injections (32.0% versus 28.6%, HR = 1.20, P < 0.001), and any secondary treatment (64.9% versus 62.7%, HR = 1.10, P < 0.001).
conclusionPatients with existing mental health disorders experienced increased rates of complications and a higher risk of secondary treatment utilization over a 10-year period after surgery for AC. Awareness of these risks is essential for optimizing postoperative care and addressing the complex needs of this patient population.
