Mean cost measurements, $
 Total costs 10,599.74 ± 2384.85 11,863.52 ± 3561.38 <.001

MCID, minimal clinically important difference; PROM, patient-reported outcome measure; TSA; total shoulder arthroplasty; RSA, reverse shoulder arthroplasty; SST, Simple Shoulder Test; ASES, American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons; VAS, visual analog scale; SANE, Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation. NOTE. Mean costs were calculated using all patients with complete cost data and 2-year follow-up regardless of whether PROM data were reported.
