Data are N (%) unless otherwise stated. The associations between physical and psychiatric conditions and adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder were studied using an adjusted logistic regression model. All physical and psychiatric diseases were simultaneously included in the logistic regression model. p-values < 0.001 were considered statistically significant.
