Multivariate analysis of patient-related factors that influence achievement of MCID and SCB

Outcome measure and significant variable Odds ratio 95% CI p value
MCID based on ≥ 13.5 point increase in ASES score
 Preoperative ASES score 0.96 0.94–0.98 <0.001
 Procedure: RSA vs TSA 0.36 0.16–0.85 0.016
SCB based on ≥ 36.6 point increase in ASES score
 Preoperative ASES score 0.91 0.89–0.92 <0.001
 Living arrangement: (reference: with partner/spouse)
  Alone 0.36 0.19–0.69 0.002
 Diagnosis: cuff tear arthropathy vs osteoarthritis 0.14 0.07–0.30 <0.001
 Comorbidity: back pain 0.42 0.24–0.71 0.002

ASES = American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons; RSA = reverse shoulder arthroplasty; TSA = total shoulder arthroplasty; MCID = minimal clinically important difference; SCB = substantial clinical benefit.
