Female Sex, Fibromyalgia Diagnosis, Obesity, Tobacco Use, Preoperative Opioid Use, and Postoperative Recurrent Instability Are Risk Factors for Return to the Emergency Department 1 Year After Arthroscopic Shoulder Stabilization.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To identify risk factors for return to the emergency department (ED) 1 year after arthroscopic shoulder stabilization and to evaluate secondary outcomes related to postoperative opioid use and recurrent shoulder instability.

Methods

We retrospectively identified patients aged 18 to 30 years old undergoing first-time arthroscopic shoulder stabilization (Current Procedural Terminology code 29806). The PearlDiver database was queried for patients between 2017 and 2019 with minimum of 3 months preoperatively to 24 months postoperative assessment, to analyze returns to the emergency department (ED), 1-year postsurgery opioid use, and recurrent instability.

Results

Among 12,223 patients, 2,643 (21.6%) patients had at least 1 ED visit within 1-year postoperation. Fac
