Background: Postoperative pain is affected by preoperative depression. If the risk of postoperative pain associated with depression can be predicted preoperatively, anesthesiologists and/or surgeons can better manage it with personalized care. The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of Patient Health Questionnaire-2 (PHQ-2) depression screening tool as a predictor of postoperative pain. Methods: A total of 50 patients scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy with an American Society of Anesthesiologists grade of 1 or 2 were enrolled. They answered the PHQ-2, which consists of two questions, under the supervision of a researcher on the day before the surgery. The numerical rating scale (NRS) scores were assessed at post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), at 24, and 48 postoperative hours, and the amount of intravenous patient-controlled analgesia (IV-PCA) administered was documented at 24, 48, and 72 postoperative hours. At 72 h, the IV-PCA device was removed and the final dosage was recorded.Results: The NRS score in PACU was not significantly associated with the PHQ-2 score (correlation coefficients: 0.13 [P = 0.367]). However, the use of analgesics after surgery was higher in patients with PHQ-2 score of 3 or more (correlation coefficients: 0.33 [P = 0.018]).Conclusions: We observed a correlation between the PHQ-2 score and postoperative pain. Therefore, PHQ-2 could be useful as a screening test for preoperative depression. Particularly, when 3 points were used as the cut-off score, the PHQ-2 score was associated with the dosage of analgesics, and the analgesic demand could be expected to be high with higher PHQ-2 scores.

Abstract Background To evaluate the effect of oxycodone on postoperative pain and inflammation in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic gastrectomy. Methods Sixty patients who were of both sexes, American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status (ASA-PS) Class I or II, over 65 years of age and undergoing an elective laparoscopic radical gastrectomy were randomly divided into two groups: an oxycodone group (Group O) and a sufentanil group (Group S). The postoperative analgesia regimen was as follows: 40 mg of parecoxib sodium and 0.1 mg/kg of oxycodone was intravenously injected into Group O before the abdomen closure, while 40 mg of parecoxib sodium and 0.1 μg/kg of sufentanil was injected intravenously into Group S. Both groups were infiltrated with 20 ml of 1% ropivacaine at the end of the operation. The concentrations of IL-6 and IL-10 were measured immediately after the operation and one hour, six hours and twenty-four hours after the operation (T1-4). The numerical rating scale (NRS), the Ramsay sedation score, analgesic-related adverse events, postoperative pulmonary inflammation events and the postoperative stay were recorded. Results Compared with Group S, the serum IL-6 concentrations of Group O decreased at T3 and T4, while the serum IL-10 concentrations increased (P < 0.05). In Group O, the serum IL-6 concentrations at T3 and T4 were lower than those at T1 (P < 0.05). The incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV)and pulmonary inflammation in Group O was lower than that in Group S (P < 0.05). At each time point, the NRS of visceral pain in Group O was lower than that in Group S. At six and twenty-four hours after extubation, the NRS of incision pain in Group O was lower than that in Group S (P < 0.05). Conclusion Oxycodone can regulate the level of inflammatory cytokines and reduce postoperative inflammatory response.

Depression is the most general psychiatric disease in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Depression exposed to affect mortality in end-stage renal disease patient. The main focus of this study was to measure the occurrence of painful symptoms among CKD patients. Co-morbid depression influences harmfully on the excellence of life in Chronic Kidney Disease patients. This study was done to calculate predominance of depression inpatient on hemodialysis (HD) using Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression-17 and International Classification of Disease-10 classification of mental and behavioural disorders. It was a cross-sectional study conducted from December 2019 till July 2020, in Nandhyala, Kurnool district region. Informed and written consent was taken. Patients undergoing hemodialysis at the Nandhyala, Kurnool district region for more than three months duration were involved in the study. Psychiatrists monitored Hamilton Rating scale for diagnosis and categorization of depression. Psychiatrists confirmed depression based on International Classification of Disease-10 scale. SPSS version.20 was used for statistical analysis. The study was done among 300 patients. Prevalence of depression was 234 using Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9)and 195 using Hamilton Rating scale (HAD-17)and 153 using International Classification of Disease -10 (ICD-10). Mean depression in females using PHQ-9 was 7±4.33 and in males was 11.04±5.90, and the Median age was 47.6 years. The most common symptom was fatigue among 246. There is a high occurrence of depression in patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) stage 5 on hemodialysis compared to the general population.

Background: The Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17) has been used for several decades to assess the severity of depression. Multiple studies have documented defects in this scale and deemed it unsuitable for clinical evaluation. The HAMD-6, which is the abbreviated version of HAMD-17, has been shown to be effective in assessing the core symptoms of depression with greater sensitivity than HAMD-17. And the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) is suggested as an effective alternative to the HAMD-17 because of its simplicity and ease-of-use.Methods: Research was completed involving 1,741 participants having major depressive disorder. Cronbach's alpha, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and weighted Kappa analysis was used to determine the reliability of the scales. Pearson correlation analysis and factor analysis were used to analyze validity. Item response theory (IRT) was used to analyze psychological characteristics of items in both the HAMD-17 and PHQ-9.Results: Reliability analysis showed that the Cronbach's alpha of the HAMD-17, HAMD-6 and PHQ-9 were 0.829, 0.764, and 0.893 respectively, and the ICC of the three scales ranged from 0.606 to 0.744. The Kappa score of the consistency of depression severity assessment was 0.248. Validity analysis showed that the PHQ-9 was a single factor structure, and the total score of the scale was strongly correlated with the HAMD-17 (r = 0.724, P &lt; 0.001). The IRT analysis showed that the discrimination parameters of the PHQ-9 were higher than that of the HAMD-17 in all dimensions. The HAMD-6 had the lowest measurement accuracy in distinguishing the severity of depression, while the PHQ-9 had the highest measurement accuracy.Conclusion: Results showed that the PHQ-9 was satisfactory in terms of reliability, validity and distinguishing the severity of depression. It is a simple, rapid, effective and reliable tool which can be used as an alternative to the HAMD-17 to assess the severity of depression.

Background: Pain after laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) is multifactorial and usually not effectively treated. Rectus sheath block (RSB) has been proven to reduce the pain from midline abdominal incision and laparoscopic surgery. We investigated the preemptive analgesic effect of RSB after LC. Methods: In this prospective, randomized, single-center trial, 200 patients undergoing LC were randomized into preoperative RSB (pre-RSB) or postoperative RSB (post-RSB) group. An ultrasound-guided RSB was performed before skin incision in the pre-RSB group or after skin closure in the post-RSB group. The primary outcome was total rescue analgesic consumption at 24 h post-surgery. The secondary outcomes were cumulated rescue analgesic consumption and postoperative pain measured by numerical rating scale (NRS) at 0, 1, 2, 6, 9, 18, and 24 h post-surgery. Results: Total rescue analgesic consumption at 24 h post-surgery was significantly lower in the pre-RSB group than in the post-RSB group (p = 0.020). The cumulated rescue analgesic consumption was significantly lower in the pre-RSB group than in the post-RSB group at 1 h (p = 0.023), 9 h (p = 0.020) and 18 h (p = 0.002) post-surgery. NRS was significantly lower in the pre-RSB group than in the post-RSB group at 0 h post-surgery (p = 0.023). Conclusion: The pre-RSB reduced the analgesic requirements in patients undergoing LC compared with the post-RSB.

Hintergrund: Gegenüberstellende epidemiologische Studien zur psychischen Gesundheit bei verschiedenen Migrantengruppen in Deutschland fehlen weitgehend. Sie sind jedoch von großer Wichtigkeit, um den Therapiebedarf für diese Gruppen zu bestimmen und Angebote entsprechend auszurichten. Die vorliegende Studie möchte die Ausprägung einer depressiven, somatoformen und angstbezogenen Symptomatik bei osteuropäischen, türkischen und Migranten aus der ehemaligen Sowjetunion in der Allgemeinbevölkerung miteinander vergleichen und untersuchen, ob es Unterschiede in der Bereitschaft gibt, für verschiedene Beschwerden einen Arzt aufzusuchen. Methode: 43 osteuropäische Migranten (beide Eltern in Polen, Rumänien, Slowakischer Republik, Tschechischer Republik oder Ungarn geboren), 49 Migranten aus der ehemaligen Sowjetunion (beide Eltern in Russland, Ukraine, Weißrussland oder Kasachstan geboren; Russlanddeutsche Personen fallen auch in diese Gruppe) und 42 Personen mit türkischem Migrationshintergrund wurden mit dem Patient-Health-Questionnaire auf depressive, somatoforme und angstbezogene Symptome untersucht und mit einem Fragebogen zu ihrer Bereitschaft befragt, für verschiedene Beschwerden einen Arzt aufzusuchen. Die Gruppen wurden mit Varianzanalysen unter Kontrolle möglicher konfundierender Variablen miteinander verglichen. Ergebnisse: Unter Kontrolle von Geschlecht, Alter, Partnerschaft und Erwerbstätigkeit zeigten sich keine signifikanten Unterschiede in depressiver, somatoformer und ängstlicher Symptomatik zwischen den drei Gruppen. Unter Kontrolle für Alter und Geschlecht zeigten sich ebenfalls keine Unterschiede in der Bereitschaft, für verschiedene Beschwerden einen Arzt aufzusuchen. Frauen berichteten mehr somatoforme Beschwerden als Männer und zeigten eine höhere Bereitschaft, einen Arzt zu konsultieren. Diskussion: Es lassen sich keine kulturellen Einflüsse in Bezug auf die psychische Gesundheit und den Umgang mit verschiedenen Beschwerden bei diesen eher gut integrierten Migranten feststellen. Weitere Studien zu dieser Fragestellung mit größeren Stichproben und unter Einbezug schlechter Deutsch sprechender Migranten wären wünschenswert.

Zusammenfassung. Studien in der Allgemeinbevölkerung zeigen uneinheitliche Ergebnisse bezüglich häufigerer Somatisierung bei Migranten. Vergleichende Untersuchungen fanden bei depressiven Patienten ostasiatischer Herkunft geringere Angaben von psychologischen Symptomen und häufigere somatische Beschwerden, als bei Patienten westlicher Herkunft. Aufgrund einer geringen Inanspruchnahme psychiatrischer Versorgungsangebote in Deutschland, insbesondere durch vietnamesische Migranten der ersten Generation, existieren bisher keine Studien zu einer psychischen und somatischen Symptomausprägung bei Patienten vietnamesischer Herkunft im Vergleich zu deutschen Patienten ohne Migrationshintergrund. Im Kontext kultursensibler Diagnostik von Migranten in Deutschland wurde als ausreichend messäquivalentes Selbstbeurteilungsinstrument insbesondere der Patient Health Questionnaire bzw. der Gesundheitsfragebogen für Patienten als ein valides und einfach verwendbares Instrument für eine Erfassung von Symptomen und Schweregraden häufiger psychischer Störungen, wie der Depression empfohlen. Im Rahmen der vorliegenden Untersuchung wurden bei 66 vietnamesischen Patientinnen der ersten Generation und 83 deutschen Patientinnen während des erstmaligen psychiatrischen Kontaktes psychische Symptome einer Depression mittels des PHQ-9 und somatische Symptome mittels des PHQ-15 in der jeweiligen Muttersprache erfasst. Für beide Gruppen fand sich für beide Instrumente eine zufriedenstellende interne Konsistenz. Ein möglicher Zusammenhang zwischen der Herkunft und dem Schweregrad der Ausprägung psychischer depressiver und somatischer Symptome bei diagnostizierter depressiver Episode erfolgte mittels einer multivariaten Analyse. Für die Selbstbeurteilung mittels des PHQ-9 fanden sich keine Gruppenunterschiede hinsichtlich des Gesamtsummenwertes und des Schweregrades psychischer depressiver Symptome. Dagegen berichteten vietnamesische Patientinnen in der Selbstwahrnehmung anhand des PHQ-15 von einem insgesamt höheren Schweregrad von somatischen Symptomen. Insbesondere waren bei depressiven vietnamesischen Patientinnen die Mittelwerte der Einzelitems Kopfschmerzen, Glieder- und Gelenkschmerzen, Schmerzen im Brustbereich sowie Schwindel und Ohnmachtsanfälle gegenüber deutschen Patientinnen deutlich erhöht. Entgegen der Untersuchungshypothese und früherer Studien ging die häufigere Selbstbeurteilung oder Aufmerksamkeit auf somatische Symptome bei vietnamesischen Patientinnen nicht mit einer verminderten Eigenwahrnehmung von psychischen Symptomen einer depressiven Episode anhand des PHQ-9 einher.
