Predictors of patient satisfaction after reverse shoulder arthroplasty

Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery Oct 19, 2019

Rauck RC, Ruzbarsky JJ, Swarup I, et al. - A total of 161 individuals were assessed at 2 years postoperatively in order to ascertain patient satisfaction and to recognize predictors of satisfaction following reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA). In an average of 3.3 of the five domains individuals were “very satisfied”. Betterment in American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES), Shoulder Activity Scale, visual analog scale (VAS) pain, and Short Form 12 (SF-12) physical component summary scores were related to greater satisfaction, with correlation coefficients varying from 0.27 to 0.49. On multivariate analysis, individuals with greater preoperative ASES scores were less contented following surgery. Moreover, individuals with worse VAS fatigue and SF-12 mental and physical component summary scores preoperatively had lesser satisfaction. Hence, improvements in pain and outcome scores are related to improved satisfaction. Moreover, individuals with greater shoulder function, worse physical health, and worse mental health former to surgery are more inclined to have lesser contentment following RSA.
