  • Significant data are in bold face.

  • * Multivariable analyses were additionally adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, comorbidity, and primary underlying diagnosis.

  • Parameter estimate is too low, related mainly to a very small number of cases, making it very imprecise and to be interpreted with caution. TSA: total shoulder arthroplasty.
