Utility of PROMIS Measures in Predicting Shoulder Arthroplasty in Patients with Shoulder Osteoarthritis

The decision to treat shoulder osteoarthritis definitively with shoulder arthroplasty (SA) is multifactorial, considering objective findings, subjective information, and patient goals. The first goal of this study was to determine if Patient Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measures correlated with patients with shoulder osteoarthritis (OA) who underwent SA within 1 year. The second goal of this study was to determine if score cut-offs in PROMIS domains could further discriminate which shoulder OA patients underwent SA within 1 year.
