How Social Determinants of Health Affect Outcomes Following Rotator Cuff Repair
Based on ANOVA, patients from areas of lowest income and highest SDI had lower PROMs following RCR, although multiple regression demonstrates that PROMs are multifactorial. The results should be interpreted in the context of current literature and used to raise awareness among orthopaedic surgeons of risk factors affecting PROMs following RCR. As health care trends toward patient satisfaction-driven financial models, we stress the importance of risk-adjusted compensation and performance models for orthopaedic surgeons performing RCRs and preoperative expectation counseling.
