Reporting of Patient-Reported Outcome Measures in Randomized Controlled Trials on Shoulder Rotator Cuff Injuries Is Suboptimal and Requires Standardization.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the completeness of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) reporting using Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials Patient-Reported Outcome (CONSORT-PRO) in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving rotator cuff injuries.

Methods

We performed a comprehensive search of MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials for published RCTs focused on rotator cuff injuries that included at least one PRO measure. We included RCTs published from 2006 to 2020. Investigators extracted data from RCTs using the CONSORT-PRO and evaluated each RCT using the Cochrane Risk of Bias 2.0 tool. Our primary objective was to evaluate the mean completion percentage of CONSORT-PRO. Our secondary objective used bivariate regression analyses to explore the rela
