This study showed that day case total shoulder arthroplasty might lead to similar rates of mortality, complications, revisions, and readmissions compared to inpatient total shoulder arthroplasty when used in a selected population of younger, healthier, and more male patients. In contrast, there was no consensus regarding the impact of day case total shoulder arthroplasty on the rate of surgical site infections. Finally, further research of higher quality is required to establish patient demographic criteria, ASA score, or comorbidity index cut off that might be used to define day case-treated patients who seem to have equivalent outcomes compared to inpatient-treated patients.Level of evidence: Systematic review of level III studies (lowest level included).
