Our objective was to present a calculation method based on Michael Porter\u2019s formula and standard references to estimate patient value delivered by total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA). We retrospectively reviewed the records of 116 consecutive TSAs performed between June 2015 and June 2019. Patient value was defined as quality of care divided by direct costs of surgery. Quality metrics included intra- and postoperative complications as well as weighted improvements in three different patient-reported outcome measures at a minimum of one-year follow-up. Direct costs of surgery were retrieved from the management accounting analyses. Substantial clinical benefit (SCB) thresholds and the standard reimbursement system were used as references for quality and cost dimensions. A multivariable linear regression was performed to identify factors associated with patient delivered value. Compared to a reference of 1.0, the quality of care delivered to patients was 1.3 \u00b1 0.3 (range, 0.6\u20132.0) and the associated direct cost was 1.0 \u00b1 0.2 (range, 0.7\u20131.6). Ninety patients (78%) had a quality of care \u22651.0 and 61 patients (53%) had direct costs related to surgery \u22641.0. The average value delivered to patients was 1.3 \u00b1 0.4 (range, 0.5\u20132.5) with 91 patients (78%) \u2265 1.0, was higher for non-smokers (beta, 0.12; p = 0.044), anatomic TSA (beta, 0.53; p &lt; 0.001), increased with higher pre-operative pain (beta, 0.08; p &lt; 0.001) and lower pre-operative Constant score (beta, \u22120.06; p = 0.001). Our results revealed that almost 80% of TSAs provided substantial patient value. Patient pre-operative pain\/function, tobacco use, and procedure type are important factors associated with delivered patient value.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm10235700","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,5]],"date-time":"2021-12-05T21:01:45Z","timestamp":1638738105000},"page":"5700","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Measuring Patient Value after Total Shoulder Arthroplasty"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2797-8936","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alexandre","family":"L\u00e4dermann","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery, La Tour Hospital, 1217 Meyrin, Switzerland"},{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, University of Geneva, 1211 Geneva, Switzerland"},{"name":"Division of Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery, Department of Surgery, Geneva University Hospitals, 1205 Geneva, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rodolphe","family":"Eurin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Management Department, La Tour Hospital, 1217 Meyrin, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Axelle","family":"Alibert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Management Department, La Tour Hospital, 1217 Meyrin, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mehdi","family":"Bensouda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Management Department, La Tour Hospital, 1217 Meyrin, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hugo","family":"Bothorel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research Department, La Tour Hospital, 1217 Meyrin, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,12,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Press, H.B.R.
