Rotator cuff tears are common. A previous systematic review reported on factors associated with rotator cuff tears; however, it included relatively few studies and few variables, and in addition, it had considerable heterogeneity. To identify the factors associated with symptomatic rotator cuff tears and to help guide clinicians to potentially modifiable factors, we felt a broader and more inclusive meta-analysis would be useful.

哪些因素与症状性肩袖撕裂相关：荟萃分析。

肩袖撕裂很常见。之前的系统评价报告了与肩袖撕裂相关的因素；然而，它包含的研究相对较少，变量也很少，此外，它还具有相当大的异质性。为了确定与症状性肩袖撕裂相关的因素，并帮助指导临床医生发现潜在的可改变因素，我们认为更广泛、更具包容性的荟萃分析将是有用的。
