Early or partial results. Treat as a signal, not a conclusion.
This is a completed prospective cohort study registered on ClinicalTrials.gov that has enrolled 84 adults undergoing arthroscopic rotator cuff repair and assessed depression severity and shoulder outcomes at multiple timepoints up to 24 months. No results are posted in this registry record. The study addresses whether depression severity changes correlate with shoulder pain and function recovery, but causal claims are limited by the observational design.
Observational. Rotator Cuff Tears, Depressive Symptoms. Intervention: Preoperative depressive symptoms (HDRS ≥8); No preoperative depressive symptoms (HDRS ≤7). n = 84. 1 site: South Korea.

Safety was not reported in the material analysed. Check the source before drawing any conclusion about harm.
Once results are reported, this study may clarify whether depression improves after rotator cuff repair and whether mood change correlates with functional recovery. The findings could inform preoperative counselling and integrated mental health screening in orthopedic surgery populations.
Prospective cohort study with completed enrollment but no results reported in registry; observational design without control group limits causal inference on depression-shoulder outcome associations.

Graded across the dimensions that decide whether you should act, each from what the source actually supports. There is no single score, and where a dimension was not assessed it says so.
What is missing. This record has no key findings. That is a gap in the analysis, not a judgement about the study.
Registry record from ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT07769554). This is a study registration, not published results. Lead sponsor: Chuncheon Sacred Heart Hospital. Recruitment status: COMPLETED. Study type: OBSERVATIONAL. Enrollment: 84 participants (ACTUAL). Conditions: Rotator Cuff Tears, Depressive Symptoms. Interventions: PROCEDURE: Arthroscopic suture-bridge rotator cuff repair. Primary outcome measures: Change in Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) Score , Preoperatively (within 2 weeks before surgery) and at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery. Brief summary: This prospective cohort study evaluated how depressive symptom severity changes during the first 2 years after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, and whether changes in depressive symptoms are associated with improvements in shoulder pain and function. Adults who underwent arthroscopic suture-bridge repair for a symptomatic full-thickness rotator cuff tear were classified by preoperative Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) score as having depressive symptoms (HDRS ≥8) or not (HDRS ≤7). Depressive symptom severity (HDRS), shoulder pain (visual analog scale), and shoulder function (American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons score and Constant score) were assessed before surgery and at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months after surgery. Integrity of the repaired tendon was evaluated with ultrasonography at 24 months.
