Patients were stratified based on the physical demand of their work according to the Canadian Classification and Dictionary of Occupations. The primary outcomes were time to RTW, level of employment (LoE), change of tasks, and work loss. Secondary outcomes included the return to sports activities, EQ\u2010VAS, EQ\u20105D\u20105L, DASH, and Oxford Shoulder Score<jats:bold>.<\/jats:bold><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Three\u2010hundred and eighty\u2010three patients were enrolled; at the follow\u2010up evaluation, fifty\u2010three patients (13.8%) lost their job, with a percentage of 34.4% (eleven patients) in the heavy\u2010work category, and five patients (1.3%) chose early retirement. Other twenty\u2010six patients (6.8%) had to lower their level of employment, and twenty patients (5.2%) changing their tasks, with 279 patients (72.9%) returning to their previous work activity. RTW was obtained at a mean time of 4.7\u2009\u00b1\u20094.6\u00a0months, ranging from 3.8\u2009\u00b1\u20093.1\u00a0months in the sedentary work vs 5.8\u2009\u00b1\u20092.8\u00a0months in the very heavy\u2010work category (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.015). The mean EQ\u2010VAS score was 77.3\u2009\u00b1\u200918 points, the mean Oxford Shoulder Score was 43.4\u2009\u00b1\u20097.2 points, and the mean DASH score was 9.9\u2009\u00b1\u200914.5 points; 75.3% returned to their previous level of sport activity.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>The success of ARCR in terms of RTW is not always complete and varies significantly based on the physical demand of the patient\u2019s job. Patients with physically demanding work have a significantly higher time to RTW, reduction of the LoE, and job loss rate, thus affecting the possibility to have a satisfactory return to their previous life. The findings are of clinical relevance since they can help the surgeons to give their patients reliable expectations and to correctly plan the post\u2010operative management.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Level of evidence<\/jats:title><jats:p>IV.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00167-022-07172-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,26]],"date-time":"2022-09-26T23:39:36Z","timestamp":1664235576000},"page":"153-160","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: patients with physically demanding work have significantly worse time to return to work, level of employment, and job loss"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"31","author":[{"given":"Pietro","family":"Feltri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> Service of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Department of Surgery EOC Lugano Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2853-1896","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Andrea Stefano","family":"Monteleone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> Service of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Department of Surgery EOC Lugano Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Francesco","family":"Marbach","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> Service of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Department of Surgery EOC Lugano Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Filardo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> Service of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Department of Surgery EOC Lugano Switzerland"},{"name":"<!--<label>2<\/label>--> Faculty of Biomedical Sciences Universit\u00e0 Della Svizzera Italiana Lugano Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Candrian","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"<!--<label>1<\/label>--> Service of Orthopaedics and Traumatology, Department of Surgery EOC Lugano Switzerland"},{"name":"<!--<label>2<\/label>--> Faculty of Biomedical Sciences Universit\u00e0 Della Svizzera Italiana Lugano Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,9,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s00068\u2010019\u201001074\u20109"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0363546519825624"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen\u20102020\u2010045702"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3310\/hta19800"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.arthro.2013.03.076"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/s41598\u2010022\u201007123\u20105"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4055\/cios.2015.7.2.234"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jse.2014.02.021"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jse.2014.08.014"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.J.00739"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1302\/0301\u2010620X.78B4.0780593"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jse.2013.01.006"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0168\u20108510(90)90421\u20109"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2519\/jospt.2014.4832"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/03635465221097102"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jse.2011.03.028"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097\u20100274(199606)29:6<602::AID\u2010AJIM4>3.0.CO;2\u2010L"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2490\/prm.20190006"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"KendrickD VinogradovaY CouplandC ChristieN LyonsRA TownerELet al.
