Psychiatric Comorbidity in Chronic Disabling Occupational Spinal Disorders Has Minimal Impact on Functional Restoration Socioeconomic Outcomes

Abstract

Despite intensive management of psychiatric disorders during interdisciplinary functional restoration for CDOSD, several disorders were found to be associated with less successful outcomes. Poorer work outcomes were more common with specific (and comorbid) Axis I psychiatric disorders. Opioid dependence was the single disorder associated most often with less successful outcomes. Despite these findings, the large majority of patients demonstrated successful outcomes. Depression did not independently link to less successful outcomes.

Psychiatric Predisposition to Autonomic and Abnormal Perception Side-Effects of Ziconotide: A Case Series Study

“…The presence of a psychiatric disorder slowed down the perception of analgesic effects and impaired the outcome of ziconotide. This is in agreement with the literature, where it has been shown that the presence of a psychiatric disorder (in particular the panic) is associated with a lack of success in the treatment of pain (31) and that optimizing the use of antidepressants results in a better outcome for pain treatment (32). Notably, 66% of our sample showed at least one psychiatric disorder.…”

Impact of personality disorders on health-related quality of life one year after burn injury

“…There can be individual complications during rehabilitation, and in rehabilitation programs, after injury. A diagnosis of an Axis II disorder has previously been identified as predictive of noncompletion [53,54], poor outcome [55] and non-adherence [56] in treatment programs. Daily skin care and treatment over a long period of time after a burn can be demanding, and conceivable difficulties could result in worse actual as well as perceived skin health.…”

Personality Disorders are Not Associated With Nonrecovery in Patients With Traffic-Related Minor Musculoskeletal Injuries

“…This is in accordance with previous studies showing high rates of dropout from different rehabilitation programs. [22][23][24][25] …”
