About this study
Official title: Volatile Anaesthetics on Incidence of Postoperative Depression and Anxiety
This study is a retrospective analysis of a large-scale multicentre prospective cohort study that investigates the impact of volatile anaesthetics on the incidence of postoperative depression and anxiety among elderly patients.
Read the detailed description
Studies have suggested volatile anaesthetics may alleviate depression and anxiety in patients. However, there is a paucity of research in this area. The investigatorswanted to determine the association between volatile anaesthetics and depression/anxiety in elderly patients within 7 days after surgery.
This study retrospectively analysed data from a prospective database of patients aged 65 and above who underwent non-cardiac, non-neurosurgical elective surgery in 18 tertiary hospitals across 10 provinces in China. Patients receiving volatile anaesthetics received at least one volatile anaesthetic (sevoflurane, isoflurane, desflurane), and those who received non-volatile anaesthetics did not receive any volatile anaesthetic. Binary logistic regression analyses were conducted, and propensity score-matching (PSM) and subgroup analyses were also applied.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Depression
Primary outcomes were depression Patient Health Questionnaire 9 (PHQ-9).The PHQ-9 is a nine-item questionnaire for screening on the presence of depressive symptoms and monitoring depression severity. Items were scored on a four-point scale with total scores ranging from zero to twenty-seven. Scores were defined as: ≥5 mild, ≥10 moderate, and ≥15 severe level of depression. The recommended screening cutoff was ≥10, corresponding with at least a moderate level of depression. The higher the score, the worse the situation. The total score ranges from 0 to 27, and higher scores indicate more depressive symptoms.
Measured: Depression within 7 days of surgery
Secondary outcomes (1)
Anxiety
The GAD-7 is a seven-item questionnaire for screening on the presence of generalized anxiety disorder and assessing its severity. Items were scored on a four-point scale with total scores ranging from zero to twenty-one. Scores were defined as: ≥5 mild, ≥10 moderate, and ≥15 severe anxiety. The recommended screening cutoff was ≥10, corresponding with at least a moderate level of anxiety. Higher scores mean more anxiety.
Measured: Anxiety within 7 days of surgery
