Safety of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: using a core event set for clinician and patient assessment of risks in a multicenter cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Reporting standards for adverse events (AEs) in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR) vary. A standardized "core event set" (CES) was developed to enhance AE documentation. This study describes AE risks in a large Swiss-German ARCR cohort, evaluates concordance between patient-reported and clinician-reported events, and investigates AE variability according to tear severity.

Design

Prospective multicenter cohort study.

Setting

Between June 2020 and November 2021, 973 patients were enrolled across 19 orthopedic centers and followed for 24 months.

Participants

Adult patients with a rotator cuff tear.

Interventions

Primary ARCR.

Main outcome measures

AEs were documented using a structured CES and classified into five severity grades. AE
