Data are expressed as number of shoulders with percentages. If data are missing, the total number of shoulders within a variable is reported after the slash. The P-values of the unadjusted regression analysis are presented.
The mean VAS score was reported in 5 acute and 3 delayed surgically treated patients. The mean of PROMs was reported in 11 acute and 7 delayed surgically treated patients, and 4 acute and 1 delayed nonoperatively treated patients. Studies by Nardo et al, Nove-josserand et al, Liu et al, Garrigues et al, Weiss et al were excluded since data on acute and delayed treatment was not extractable per case.
Data were analyzed using a Fisher's exact test.
