Although overall complications and readmission rates between women and men were similar (3.4% vs. 3.7%, P = .489; 3.0% vs. 2.8%, P = .497), men were significantly less likely to develop urinary tract infections (UTIs; odds ratio [OR] 0.58, P = .032) and require transfusions (OR 0.49, P less then .001) and had shorter lengths of stay (P less then .001). However, men were significantly more likely to have a superficial surgical site infection (OR 2.63, P = .035) and 6.8 minute longer operating time (P less then .001) compared with women. Conclusion Though the overall complication risk is similar between the sexes, their risk profiles are distinct. Men had decreased risk of UTI, blood transfusions, and shorter length of stay but increased risk of surgical site and longer operating time compared with women. This disparity should be discussed when counseling and risk-stratifying patients for SA. © 2019 The Author(s).Background The association between concomitant pathologic characteristics and preoperative symptoms in patients identified as eligible for surgical rotator cuff repair has been sparsely evaluated. The purpose was to explore the associations between preoperative shoulder symptoms and additional structural pathology or injuries identified during surgery in patients with traumatic supraspinatus tears. Methods This was a cross-sectional study including patients with traumatic supraspinatus tears. Preoperatively, patients reported pain and disability using a numeric pain rating scale from 0 to 10 and the Western Ontario Rotator Cuff Index. During surgery, the presence of prespecified structural injuries and pathologies including a full-thickness or partial supraspinatus tear, infraspinatus tear, subscapularis tear, hooked acromion, acromioclavicular joint osteoarthritis, biceps tendon pathology, labral tear, and cartilage lesion was recorded. Linear regression and analysis of covariance were used to assess
