Limited health literacy does not adversely affect compliance with postoperative restrictions, 90-day emergency department return, or opioid use following shoulder arthroscopy
LMHL is highly prevalent among patients undergoing elective shoulder arthroscopy. The lack of association between LMHL and postoperative compliance, 90-day ED return, or filling ≥2 postoperative opioid prescriptions suggests that further research is needed to identify more relevant modifiable risk factors that could reduce these negative clinical outcomes and healthcare utilization patterns.
