Arthroscopic subacromial decompression for subacromial shoulder pain (CSAW): a multicentre, pragmatic, parallel group, placebo-controlled, three-group, randomised surgical trial

この研究はハイインパクトの可能性があります。 OEのAI駆動型ハイインパクト指標は、論文が掲載されたジャーナルと論文自体の科学的内容の両方からのシグナルを統合することで、論文が持つ可能性の高い影響力を推定します。 最先端の自然言語処理を用いて開発されたOEハイインパクトモデルは、ジャーナルのインパクトファクターのみよりも、研究の将来の引用実績をより正確に予測します。 これにより、臨床的に意義のある研究をより早く認識することが可能になり、読者は将来の診療を形成する可能性が最も高い論文に集中することができます。

313 patients with subacromial impingement were randomized to either arthroscopic subacromial decompression, arthroscopic irrigation alone, or no treatment. Patients were primarily assessed for function, on the Oxford Shoulder Score, after 6 and 12 months. Comparing the two arthroscopic interventions to each other, no significant difference in functional scores were observed between the arthroscopic subacromial decompression group and the arthroscopic irrigation alone group at 6 or 12 months. Comparing the two arthroscopic interventions to no treatment, while statistically significant greater function scores were observed for both arthroscopy groups compared to no treatment, the differences were deemed not likely to be clinically relevant as they did not meet the minimum clinically important difference of 4.5pts for the Oxford Shoulder Score.
