Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 13
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between serum lipid profiles and primary frozen shoulder. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a case-controlled study. The case group comprised 200 patients diagnosed with frozen shoulder from June 2011 to June 2016. This study was approved by MKCG Medical College, Berhampur Ethical Committee. The diagnosis was done on basis of 50% restriction of all motion of shoulder joint and x-rays of the shoulder in true anteroposterior, outlet and axillary lateral views. RESULTS The mean values in the patients with frozen shoulder were 6.7 months (95% CI, less than one to sixty months) for the duration of symptoms, 5.9 days (95% CI, 0 to seventy seven days) for the interval between the initial examination and blood sampling and 7.5 days (95% CI, 0 to 118 days) for the interval between the initial examination and ultrasound or MRI. Among the 300 studied patients with primary frozen shoulder, 127 had a shoulder in the freezing stage, 168 had a shoulder in the frozen stage and five had a shoulder in the thawing stage. CONCLUSION We conclude that elevated bad lipid levels have a significant association with primary frozen shoulder.
