Strong correlation of the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) upper extremity and Shoulder Arthroplasty Smart (SAS) score to legacy measures in shoulder arthroplasty patients.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are vital for evaluating surgical outcomes. Legacy PROMs, such as the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, have been the standard for examining upper extremity (UE) function but are not without limitations. Newer tools, such as the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) UE and Shoulder Arthroplasty Smart (SAS) score, offer potential improved sensitivity in assessing UE outcomes. The goal of this study was to assess the accuracy of both PROMIS UE and SAS to the established legacy ASES score.

Methods

A retrospective study of patients who underwent primary shoulder arthroplasty from 2020 to 2022 was analyzed for PROMs using ASES, PROMIS UE, and SAS. Pearson correlation coefficients wer
