The TCCR could be added as an important factor in the preoperative planning process and intraoperative assessment in order to reduce postoperative T1 tilt. While T1 tilt remains an imperfect surrogate measure for clinical shoulder balance, it serves as one of many potential measures that the surgeon may evaluate quantitatively and radiographically.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, resource allocation became a major problem in globally overwhelmed ICUs. The main goal of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics of the very elderly patients (aged ≥ 80 years) with COVID-19 admitted in Romanian ICUs. The study objectives were to evaluate and determine the factors associated with ICU mortality. We designed a national, multicentric, observational platform with prospective enrolment. This study included patients aged ≥ 80 years admitted in Romanian ICUs with SARS-CoV-2 infection from March 2020 to December 2021. We included 1666 patients with a median age of 83 years and 78% ICU mortality. Male sex, dyspnoea, lower Glasgow Coma Scale and lower SpO2 at ICU admission, the need for mechanical ventilation (MV), and corticosteroid use were independently associated with mortality. A total of 886/1666 (53%) elderly patients underwent invasive mechanical ventilation, with a mortality of 97%. The age impact on mortality was confirmed by a 11 propensity matching with less elderly ICU patients. In extremely elderly patients with COVID-19 admitted in the ICU, mortality is high, particularly when requiring MV. Therapy should
