Currently, the use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has shown notable clinical efficacy in treating various malignant tumors, significantly improving patient prognosis. However, while ICIs enhance the body's anti-tumor effects, they can also trigger immune-related adverse events (irAEs), with ICI-associated colitis being one of the more prevalent forms. This condition can disrupt treatment, necessitate drug discontinuation, and adversely affect therapeutic outcomes.

Background And Purpose: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are widely performed surgeries for end-stage joint disease, yet the influence of depression and anxiety on postoperative outcomes remains unclear. This study aims to consolidate current evidence on the relationship between preoperative depression and/or anxiety disorders and postoperative outcomes in adult patients undergoing primary THA or TKA. Given the potential for these psychiatric conditions to affect recovery, pain management, and overall satisfaction, the results of this study are crucial to inform targeted perioperative interventions and improve patient-centered care.
