Abstract: | Objective: To compare quality of life (according to the SF-12) in patients with rotator cuff arthropathy with controls paired by sex and age. Secondary objectives are to compare the groups according to the ASES and VAS scales. Methods: This cross-sectional study with controls paired by sex and age compared patients with rotator cuff arthropathy with surgical indication for reverse shoulder arthroplasty. The groups were compared according to the SF-12, ASES, and VAS scales. Results: The groups consisted of 38 individuals, 28 women. The SF-12 demonstrated a significant difference in the physical component, with the cases scoring 31.61 +/- 6.15 and the controls 49.39 +/- 6.37 (p<0.001). For the mental component, the difference was not significant, with the cases scoring 44.82 +/- 13.18 and the controls 48.96 +/- 8.65 (p=0.109). The cases scored 7.34 +/- 2.11 on the VAS and 31.26 +/- 15.12 on the ASES, while the controls scored 0.55 +/- 1.31 and 97.53 +/- 6.22, respectively (p<0.001). Conclusion: Patients with rotator cuff arthropathy had poorer results for the physical component of the SF-12 than the controls. They also had poorer functional results according to the ASES scale, and more pain according to the VAS. |
