Clinical analysis of preoperative and postoperative anxiety and depression in patients with proximal humeral fractures.

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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the incidence of anxiety and depressive emotions in patients with proximal humeral fractures rehabilitation plans.
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 89 patients with proximal humeral fractures from January 2022 to December 2023. According to the preoperative scores of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), 42 patients with anxiety/depressive symptoms were assigned to the observation group, and 47 patients without such symptoms were included in the control group. The changes of various indicators and prognostic differences between the two groups before and after surgery were compared, and the correlation between preoperative anxiety and depression and surgical prognosis was analyzed.
resultsAmong the 89 patients with proximal humeral fractures, the incidence of preoperative anxiety/depressive symptoms was 47.19% (42/89). Both groups showed significant improvements in pain, psychological status, and shoulder function (all P < 0.05). The observation group had higher preoperative and final follow-up VAS and HADS scores, and lower ASES scores (all P < 0.05). The improvement ranges of postoperative VAS, HADS-A and HADS-D scores in the observation group were significantly larger than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Correlation analysis showed that the total preoperative HADS score was significantly negatively correlated with the postoperative ASES score (r=-0.426, P < 0.001), and significantly positively correlated with the postoperative VAS score (r = 0.389, P < 0.001).
conclusionPreoperative anxiety and depression are highly prevalent in patients with proximal humeral fractures and are associated with poorer postoperative pain relief and shoulder function recovery. Surgical treatment effectively improves both physical and psychological conditions, with more pronounced improvements observed in patients with preoperative psychological distress. Routine preoperative psychological screening and targeted intervention are recommended to optimize surgical prognosis.
