May warrant monitoring for adhesive capsulitis in high-risk neurosurgical patients; leaves open causal links and preventive interventions.
Cohort (n=99)
What are the risk factors for developing adhesive capsulitis in neurosurgical patients?
In neurosurgical patients, adhesive capsulitis is common and associated with impaired consciousness, hemiparesis, prolonged IV infusion, age, and depressive personality.
Bruckner et al. (1981) conducted a cohort in Adhesive capsulitis of the shoulder (n=99). Risk factors (impairment of consciousness, hemiparesis, duration of IV infusion, age, depressive personality) vs. Absence of risk factors was evaluated on Development of adhesive capsulitis at six months. Risk factors including impairment of consciousness, hemiparesis, duration of IV infusion, age, and depressive personality were significantly associated with adhesive capsulitis (25.3% incidence).
