Abstract:
Objective To investigate the prevalence ofperioperative depression and anxiety in patients who underwent acoustic neuroma resection (ANR) and to analyze their associated factors.Methods This survey recruited 62 patients who accepted ANR from June 2010 through June 2011 in our department. Participants were interviewed one day preoperation and one day pre-discharge with 2questionnaires:the Zung self-rating depression scale (SDS) and the Zung self-rating anxiety scale (SAS).Personal information and clinical data were also documented. Facial nerve outcomes were reported according to the House-Brackmann scale.Statistical analysis was performed with the SPSS,version 13.0,using two-sample t-test,paired t-test,pearson Chi-square test and Binary classification unconditional logistic regression analysis.Significance was accepted at P＜0.05. Results Thirteen patients (20.9％)had depression and/or anxiety preoperation while 24 patients (38.7％) had postoperation.Patients with a long preoperative hospital stay,young in age (Wald=5.958,OR=0.910,P=0.015) and associated with chronic diseases (Wald=6.578,OR=14.591,P=0.010) were prone to preoperative depression and/or anxiety.Female patients (Wald=4.258,OR =4.572,P=0.039),young patients (Wald=8.152,OR=0.913,P=0.004) and patients with facial paralysis of H-B grade Ⅳ-Ⅵ (Wald=6.310,OR=7.630,P=0.012) had a higher incidence of postoperative depression and/or anxiety.Occupation,educational level,economic status,hearing loss or balance dysfunction of the patients showed no statistically significant impact on the incidence of the condition. Conclusions Patients undergoing ANR tend to have a high incidence of perioperative depression and/or anxiety.Surgeons should pay special attention to and take effective measures for female,young patients and those with facial dysfunction because they,in particular,are prone to postoperative depression and/or anxiety.
