Description
Daniela Brune and co-authors asked what shapes quality of life before shoulder tendon repair in a 2024 Swiss cohort study. Nearly a thousand patients awaiting arthroscopic rotator cuff repair across several centers filled in a standard five-dimension quality of life survey. The team tested twenty-one baseline factors, from age and body mass to sleep and mood, for links with the survey's index and overall health rating.
Average scores sat below general population levels. Men, older patients, and the more educated reported somewhat better quality of life. Higher body mass and worse sleep pulled scores down. Depression pressed the overall health rating down hard, with moderate depression costing about thirteen points. The authors argue these flags can help clinicians spot, before surgery, patients who may need extra support.
