| Objective Identifying a cut-off score would be useful in detecting improvements in disease-specific quality of life (DS-QoL) in patients with arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). The aim of this study was to identify clear cut-off values for the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index (WORC) score. In addition, the ability of these cut-off scores to predict DS-QoL level was investigated. Method A total of 38 ARCR patients were included in this cross-sectional study. Patients were assessed using the Constant-Murley and WORC scores following 12 weeks of physiotherapy. Pearson correlation coefficients were used to analyse the relationship between these scores. The WORC cut-off scores representing excellent and good DS-QoL were calculated on the basis of the Constant score. The ability of the these cut-offs to predict the level of DS-QoL was examined using logistic regression analysis. Results The WORC cut-off scores of 87.5 and 79.5 were found to be excellent and good level of DS-QoL. Participants with WORC scores above these cut-offs have a 1.25 and 1.74 times higher level of DS-QoL, respectively. Conclusion The success of physiotherapy and ARCR could be assessed using the identified cut-off scores. It seems necessary to use more specific interventions for patients not meeting the WORC cut-off scores in order to improve DS-QoL. |
