Clinical Trial Summary

The goal of this longitudinal study is to understand the postoperative quality of life and dynamic trajectory of shoulder function in individuals with rotator cuff tears.


Clinical Trial Description

Rotator cuff tears (RCTs) involve rupture of shoulder tendons or muscles, leading to pain and weakness. Its prevalence increases with age and is influenced by factors such as handedness, obesity, and smoking. Although conservative treatments are common, surgery aims to restore function. However, limited research has been conducted on postoperative psychological and social changes. Patient-reported outcome (PRO) and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) assessments are gaining importance, offering comprehensive insights into patient experiences. This longitudinal study will include 200 randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of patients who undergo surgery. Demographics, physical examinations, and scales, such as ASES, WORC, WHOQOL-BREF, and EQ-5D, are collected preoperatively and at 2 weeks and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months postoperatively. MRI is used to assess postoperative healing at 6 months. Statistical analyses are performed using SAS software encompassing chi-square, t-tests, linear mixed effects models, and subgroup analyses to identify determinants of postoperative quality of life and functionality. ;
