Osteo Arthritis Shoulders
Shoulder Pain
Rotator Cuff Tears

Other: Imaging
Registration Number
NCT05641415
Lead Sponsor
University of Helsinki
Brief Summary

In the Finnish Imaging of Shoulder study we will recruit 600 participants from a nationally representative general population sample. Participants aged 40 to 75 years will be invited to a clinical visit that includes assessment of general health, shoulder history and symptoms, and bilateral clinical examination and shoulder imaging (both plain radiography and MRI). We aim to assess the prevalence of abnormal imaging findings in both asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals and explore possible risk factors for abnormal imaging findings and shoulder symptoms.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI)At baseline

Patient reported outcome measure.

The Shoulder Pain and Disability Index (SPADI) was developed to measure current shoulder pain and disability in an outpatient setting. The SPADI contains 13 items that assess two domains; a 5-item subscale that measures pain and an 8-item subscale that measures disability. A SPADI total score ranging from 0 (best) to 100 (worst) is produced by averaging the two subscale scores.

Constant -Murley ScoreAt baseline

The Constant-Murley Score was designed to assess the functional state of a shoulder and contains both physician-completed and patient-reported portions. The four domains include pain (15 possible points), activities of daily living (20 possible points), mobility (40 possible points), and strength (25 possible points). Scores range from 0 points (most disability) to 100 points (least disability).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Pain NRSAt baseline

The numeric rating scale (NRS) is a pain screening tool, commonly used to assess pain severity at that moment in time using a 0-10 scale, with zero meaning "no pain" and 10 meaning "the worst pain imaginable".

EQ-5D-5LAt baseline

EQ-5D is a standardised measure of health status developed by the EuroQol Group in order to provide a simple, generic measure of health for clinical and economic appraisal.

Subjective Shoulder Value (SSV)At baseline

The SSV score is defined as the subjective evaluation by the patient of shoulder function, expressed as a percentage of a normal shoulder. This score ranges from 0 to 100%.
