INTRODUCTION: Prior studies suggested that a greater number of return visits is associated with greater symptoms of depression and greater symptom intensity. METHODS: All new adult patients presenting for musculsoskeletal specialty care between October 2017 and October 2018 were included. Patients completed the PROMIS Global Health, the PHQ-2, and the GAD-7 as part of usual care. RESULTS: Accounting for confounders, having a return visit was associated with lower PROMIS Global Health, greater symptoms of depression, and greater symptoms of anxiety. CONCLUSIONS: These findings provide support for the importance of 1) improved coordination with non-specialist referring clinicians, and 2) interdisciplinary care teams. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level II, Prognostic.
