Scoping Review of Factors for Persistent Shoulder Pain After Rotator Cuff Repair

Anupama B. Prabhu's scoping review, published on figshare in April 2026, identifies factors associated with persistent shoulder pain following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. The 6.8 KB document follows JBI and PRISMA-ScR methodologies, synthesizing literature from PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, and Scopus. It classifies associated factors into biological, psychological, and social determinants of health.

Use Cases

• Identifying high-risk patient profiles for persistent postoperative pain based on the review's classification of biological, psychological, and social factors.
• Informing preoperative patient counseling and expectation management based on the review's findings on consistent factors like preoperative pain intensity and depression.
• Guiding the design of future clinical studies on rotator cuff repair outcomes using the review's synthesized evidence and methodological framework.

Strengths

• Follows established methodological frameworks (JBI and PRISMA-ScR) for scoping reviews.
• Synthesizes evidence from four major biomedical databases (PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Scopus).
• Explicitly identifies consistent factors like preoperative pain intensity, narcotic use, depression, and workers' compensation claims.

Limitations

• The dataset is a 6.8 KB text document (ODT format), which is a very small-scale synthesis, not a primary data collection.
• Row count and column-level documentation are absent; the content is a narrative review.
• The temporal coverage of the included literature is not specified in the provided metadata.
