Results Weak to moderate cross-sectional associations were found for emotional or mental health with function or disability and pain in multiple studies .
Lower emotional or mental health function was associated with greater pain or disability or lower physical function at initial evaluation .
Conclusions At the initial evaluation of patients with rotator cuff tear , there was an association between self-reported function and pain and emotional or mental health .
However , these factors were not associated with patient-reported outcomes after intervention .
Preoperative patient expectation is an important predictor of patient-reported outcomes in patients after rotator cuff surgery and may be a modifiable target for enhancing recovery .
Background Psychosocial factors are key determinants of health and can influence patient-reported outcomes after rotator cuff tears .
However , to our knowledge , a systematic review of published studies has not been conducted to determine the degree of consistency and strength of the relationship between psychosocial factors and patient-reported outcomes in this patient population .
Questions / purpose s ( 1 ) Are psychosocial factors associated with patient-reported measures at initial clinical presentation in patients with rotator cuff tears ? (

Comparison of risk factors for shoulder pain and rotator cuff syndrome in the working population.
BACKGROUND To compare risk factors for shoulder pain without and with rotator cuff syndrome ( RCS ) . METHODS A total of 3,710 workers of a French region were r and omly included in the cross-sectional study between 2002 and 2005 .  Personal and occupational risk factors were assessed during a physical examination and by a self-administered question naire . Multinomial logistic modeling was used for the following outcomes : no shoulder pain and no RCS ( reference ) , shoulder pain without RCS ( called " shoulder pain " ) and RCS , separately for men and women . RESULTS The prevalence rates of " shoulder pain " for men and women were 28.0 % and 31.1 % , respectively , and the prevalence rates of RCS were 6.6 % and 8.5 % , respectively . In men , " shoulder pain " and RCS were associated with age , high-perceived physical exertion , and arm abduction . Automatic work pace and low supervisor support were associated with " shoulder pain , " and high psychological dem and and low skill discretion with RCS . In women , " shoulder pain " and RCS were associated with age , repetitiveness of tasks , and low supervisor support . High perceived physical exertion and exposure to cold temperatures were associated with " shoulder pain . " CONCLUSIONS Age was more strongly associated with RCS than with shoulder pain without RCS for both genders . Biomechanical and psychosocial factors were associated with " shoulder pain " and RCS and differed between genders
