Increasing Shoulder Osteoarthritis Severity (SOAS) Score Predicts Lower PROMIS-UE Score Following Rotator Cuff Repair

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker acknowledges their co-authors and their disclosures, which can be found in the meeting program. They discuss the relationship between preoperative glenohumeral joint degenerative changes and postoperative outcomes after rotator cuff repair. They introduce the Shoulder Osteoarthritis Severity Score (SOAS), a semi-quantitative whole joint scoring system for evaluating degenerative changes. The study investigates the relationship between preoperative SOAS score and postoperative patient-reported outcomes. The study includes 77 patients who underwent arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. They use PROMIS upper extremity scores to assess patient-reported outcomes. They find a negative correlation between the preoperative SOAS score and postoperative PROMIS upper extremity score, particularly driven by the cartilage sub-score. Limitations include a retrospective design and lack of preoperative patient-reported outcomes. They suggest considering whole joint degenerative changes in treating rotator cuff tears.
