Prediction of patient-reported outcomes after proximal humerus fractures in elderly patients does not appear to be a credible option
We found that dizziness at baseline is the strongest predictor for DASH and OSS at 24 months. Our results showed that patient selection, based on the covariates available to us, does not seem to be a credible possibility in older patients with proximal humerus fractures, and thus nonoperative treatment should remain the gold standard.
