Past studies have also demonstrated a higher prevalence of dysphagia in both acute and community mental health settings. Dysphagia is among the most common complications following anterior cervical spine surgery (ACSS); however, current literature describing the association between an established diagnosis of an MHD and the rate of dysphagia after ACSS is sparse.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>All patients who underwent ACSS between 2014 and 2020 with a minimum of 6 months of follow-up were retrospectively evaluated at a single institution. Patients were divided into cohorts depending on an established diagnosis of an MHD: the first had no established MHD (non-MHD); the second included patients with a diagnosed MHD. Outcomes were measured using pre- and postoperative patient-reported outcome scores, which included the Swallowing Quality of Life survey for dysphagia, as well as physical and mental health questionnaires. Postoperative dysphagia surveys were obtained at final follow-up for both patient cohorts.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>A total of 68 and 124 patients with and without a diagnosis of a MHD were assessed. The MHD group reported significantly worse baseline Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System depression scale scores (p &lt; 0.001), 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey (p &lt; 0.001), and Veterans RAND 12-Item Health Survey (p = 0.001) mental health components compared to non-MHD group. This group continued to have worse mental health status in the postoperative period, as reported by Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System depression scale scores (p = 0.024), 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey (p = 0.019), and Veterans RAND 12-Item Health Survey (p = 0.027). Postoperative assessment of Swallowing Quality of Life scores (expressed as the mean \u00b1 SD) also showed worse dysphagia outcomes in the MHD cohort (80.1 \u00b1 12.2) than in the non-MHD cohort (86.0 \u00b1 12.1, p = 0.001).<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>CONCLUSIONS<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>ACSS is associated with significantly higher postoperative dysphagia in patients diagnosed with an MHD when compared to patients without an established mental health diagnosis. Given the high prevalence of MHDs in patients with spinal pathology, it is important for spine surgeons to take note of the increased incidence of dysphagia faced by this patient population.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2024.1.spine23774","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,9]],"date-time":"2024-03-09T01:54:29Z","timestamp":1709949269000},"page":"767-772","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Preoperative diagnosis of mental health disorder and dysphagia following anterior cervical spine surgery"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Athan G.","family":"Zavras","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Allegheny General Hospital, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rajko S.","family":"Vucicevic","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Vincent P.","family":"Federico","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael T.","family":"Nolte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nicholas A.","family":"Shepard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Arash J.","family":"Sayari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Matthew W.","family":"Colman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, Illinois"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"issue":"21","key":"b1","series-title":"Spine (Phila Pa 1976)","first-page":"1455","article-title":"The impact of comorbid mental health disorders on complications following cervical spine surgery with minimum 2-year surveillance","volume":"43","author":"Diebo BG","year":"2018","unstructured":"Diebo BG, Lavian JD, Liu S,  The impact of comorbid mental health disorders on complications following cervical spine surgery with minimum 2-year surveillance.
