Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) affect adult mental health and tend to contribute to greater symptoms of depression and more frequent suicide attempts. Given the relationship between symptoms of depression and patient-reported outcomes (PROs), adversity in childhood might be associated with PROs in patients seeking care for musculoskeletal problems, but it is not clear whether in fact there is such an association among patients seeking care in an outpatient, upper extremity orthopaedic practice.
