Serious adverse events and lifetime risk of reoperation after elective shoulder replacement: population based cohort study using hospital episode statistics for England.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To provide accurate risk estimates of serious adverse events after elective shoulder replacement surgery for arthritis, including age and sex specific estimates of the lifetime risk of revision surgery.

Design

Population based cohort study.

Setting

Hospital episode statistics for NHS England, including civil registration mortality data.

Participants

58 054 elective shoulder replacements in 51 895 adults (aged ≥50 years) between April 1998 and April 2017.

Main outcome measures
