This report has been verified
by one or more authors of the
original publication.
This study has been identified as potentially high impact.
OE's AI-driven High Impact metric estimates the influence a paper is likely to have by integrating signals from both the journal in which it is published and the scientific content of the article itself.
Developed using state-of-the-art natural language processing, the OE High Impact model more accurately predicts a study's future citation performance than journal impact factor alone.
This enables earlier recognition of clinically meaningful research and helps readers focus on articles most likely to shape future practice.
Platelet-Rich Plasma Reduces Retear Rates After Arthroscopic Repair of Small- and Medium-Sized Rotator Cuff Tears but Is Not Cost-Effective
Am J Sports Med. 2015 Dec;43(12):3071-6.13 randomized controlled trials investigating the effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in reducing re-tear rates post arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tears were included in this analysis. The study was completed in order to determine if PRP was able to reduce re-tear rates in a cost-effective manner. While findings indicated that PRP reduced the amount of re-tears in small to medium sized tears, this was not true for massive or a combination of all tear sizes. Additionally, the intervention was not found to be cost-effective.
