Trial Outcomes

ASES

American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) Shoulder Score for pain and function. Range 0-100. Low score = worse shoulder condition. Function, disability, and pain subscores (all ranges 0-50), and are summed for total ASES score. (NCT03540030)
Timeframe: 2 Weeks

Interventionunits on a scale (Median)
Observational54.3
Non-Opioid Intervention54.2

Morphine Use

Morphine milli-equivalents In-hospital post-operative. Continuous scale of MME, no defined better/worse. Measured as number and dose of medications taken. For example, if the patient received an opioid, the drug and dose was recorded and converted to MME. A time frame of when to assess opioid use in-hospital post-operative was not used but was a continuous monitor for rescue opioid from in-hospital post-operative through discharge. (NCT03540030)
