Key result
Among 2,195 patients undergoing rotator cuff repair, 45% responded to 1-year PROMs, with workers' compensation insurance being the strongest predictor of response.
Why the study?
The relationship between postoperative patient-reported outcome measure response rates and individual and health care correlates among patients undergoing rotator cuff repair had not been thoroughly investigated.
What are the predictors of 1-year postoperative patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) response rates among patients with rotator cuff repair?

Comparison
Complete responders vs partial responders vs nonresponders to 1-year postoperative PROMs
Design
Case-control study
Follow-up
1-year

Response rates vary by patient factors after RCR; leaves open whether nonresponse biases outcomes in observational data.

What are the predictors of 1-year postoperative patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) response rates among patients with rotator cuff repair?
Patients with workers' compensation insurance respond to PROMs at disproportionately higher rates, which could distort postoperative PROM scores.
Weiss‐Laxer et al. (2024) conducted a case-control in Rotator cuff repair (n=2,195). Workers' compensation insurance vs. Other insurance types was evaluated on 1-year PROM response (complete or partial). Among 2,195 patients undergoing rotator cuff repair, 45% responded to 1-year PROMs, with workers' compensation insurance being the strongest predictor of response.
