Abstract
Background:
Depression and Degenerative Spine Disease (DSD) frequently co-exist. Pooled prevalence estimates of depression before and after lumbar fusion surgery has not been analyzed before. The purpose of this systematic review was to estimate the pre- and post-operative prevalence of depression in patients with DSD undergoing lumbar fusion.
Methods:
A literature review until April 30th 2022 was performed. All studies on DSD patients undergoing lumbar spine fusion surgery with either a history of formal diagnosis of depression or a recording of depression using a validated tool were included. Patients with other psychiatric conditions or undergoing a different form of spinal surgery were excluded. Risk of bias of the included studies was evaluated using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale.
Results:
Fifteen (15) studies with a total of 98.375 patients met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. The prevalence estimate of depression in patients before surgery was 15,35 % (95% CI: 10,56-20,86%). In the 7 studies including patients who had undergone lumbar fusion, the pooled prevalence was estimated 11,46% (95% CI: 8,11-15,30%).
Conclusion:
An increased prevalence of depression in patients undergoing lumbar spine fusion was noted. Given the correlation between depression and poor surgical outcomes, strategies should be identified to prevent and treat depression in these patients.

At the London Spine Unit we specialise in the treatment of Vertebral Compression Fractures using Balloon Kyphoplasty and Vertberoplasty. Using specialist equipment and anaesthetic techniques, our world leading experts use advanced techniques that avoid the removal of too much bone and treat spinal stenosis using innovative surgical techniques. Our patients usually go home on the same day after surgery ie walk in and walk out same day surgery.
Day Case Complex Spine Surgery
About day case surgery
At Harley Street Hospital, we offer day case spinal stenosis surgery performed by a highly qualified team of surgeons. This provides patients with multiple benefits, such as the following:
-Shorter hospital stays. Due to this and to preventive measures, lower risk of contracting COVID-19.
-We apply local anaesthesia, avoiding general anaesthesia and its complications.
-Lower infection rates.
-Fewer post-surgery complications.
-Cheaper than surgery requiring an overnight stay.
