Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the association between glycemic control and adverse events, specifically infection, revision surgery, and post-operative stiffness, following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair in diabetic patients. The study analyzed a database of over 3,700 patients with diabetes who underwent rotator cuff repair, focusing on the patients' hemoglobin A1C levels. The results showed that patients with a hemoglobin A1C level above eight had a significantly higher risk of deep infection compared to those below the threshold. However, the speaker notes that the accuracy of using hemoglobin A1C as an independent predictor for infection is poor, and other factors likely influence the risk of infection.
