Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma for the Treatment of Interstitial Supraspinatus Tears: A Double-Blinded, Randomized Controlled 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。

84 adult patients with symptomatic isolated interstitial supraspinatus tears were randomized to receive infiltration with platelet rich plasma (PRP) or normal saline. A total of two injections were administered separated by 1 month. The primary outcome of interest was the change in lesion volume. Secondary outcomes of interest included pain on a Visual Analog Scale (VAS), the Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation (SANE), Constant score, the American Shoulder and Elbow Surgeons (ASES) score, the incidence of adverse events and the performance of surgical repair. Follow up was performed at 7 and 12 months after the first injection. Results revealed no significant differences between the PRP and control groups in the change in lesion volume, VAS pain, SANE score, Constant score, and ASES score. The incidence of adverse events was significantly higher in the PRP group. No significant difference in the number of surgical repairs performed was observed between the two groups.
