ASES Score
The ASES is a patient-reported upper extremity-specific functional assessment tool and is scored out of a maximum 100 points, where 100 represents maximum function and no pain (Richards et al., 1994). It has a pain component measured on a visual analog scale as well as ten Likert-scale questions on function (e.g., put on a coat, sleep on affected side). The ASES is reliable and is validated for this population and is one of the most commonly used shoulder outcomes in North America.
Time frame: Baseline, pre-operative

EQ5D-3L
The EQ-5D is valid, reliable, responsive PROM used to document overall wellness based on 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain, anxiety/depression (Herdman et al., 2011). A single value is calculated (the value index), which indicates how good or bad a patient's health state is relative to a specified population. There are two components, VAS for general health, with 0 minimum and 100 maximum, with higher scores being more positive. The second component is a 25 point scale with minimum 5 and maximum 25 wit h lower scores more positive.

SANE Score
The Single Assessment Numeric Evaluation (SANE) score is a single question that asks patients to rate their affected shoulder as a percentage of normal to provide a simple and efficient measure of patient outcome (Gowd et al., 2019). Patients will be asked the following question: "How would you rate your affected shoulder today as a percentage of normal (0% to 100% scale with 100% being normal)?"

Constant Score
The Constant Score is validated and reliable PROM/clinical tool used to evaluate overall shoulder function based on pain, activities of daily living, and the clinical evaluation of ROM and strength (Constant \& Murley, 1987). This score is widely reported in European-based literature. Minimum value is 0 and maximum value is 100, with higher scores being a better outcome.
