Development and internal validation of a model predicting patient-reported shoulder function after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in a Swiss setting.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Prediction models for outcomes after orthopedic surgery provide patients with evidence-based postoperative outcome expectations. Our objectives were (1) to identify prognostic factors associated with the postoperative shoulder function outcome (the Oxford Shoulder Score (OSS)) and (2) to develop and validate a prediction model for postoperative OSS.

Methods

Patients undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) were prospectively documented at a Swiss orthopedic tertiary care center. The first primary ARCR in adult patients with a partial or complete rotator cuff tear were included between October 2013 and June 2021. Thirty-two potential prognostic factors were used for prediction model development. Two sets of factors identified using the knowledge from thre
