The Efficacy of Subacromial Corticosteroid Injection in the Treatment of Rotator Cuff Disease: A Systematic Review
Abstract
To investigate whether subacromial corticosteroid injections are effective in the treatment of rotator cuff disease, an evidence-based systematic review was undertaken of nine randomized controlled trials that compared subacromial corticosteroid injection with placebo in patients with rotator cuff disease. Each study was systematically evaluated for biases, and outcome measures were scrutinized for statistical significance and clinical importance. One study demonstrated clinically important differences in pain relief. Two studies showed clinically important improvement in range of motion at final follow-up. This systematic review of the available literature indicates that there is little reproducible evidence to support the efficacy of subacromial corticosteroid injection in managing rotator cuff disease.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
