Popis: Abstract Background Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty (RTSA) is commonly performed to reduce pain and restore shoulder function in patients with severe shoulder conditions. While most patients experience significant pain relief and functional improvement following surgery, a subset of patients continue to report persistent pain even two years postoperatively. The aim of this study was to identify both modifiable and non-modifiable preoperative factors that contribute to the risk of persistent postsurgical pain after RTSA. By understanding these factors, clinicians can better anticipate which patients are at higher risk and develop tailored preoperative and postoperative pain management strategies to improve overall outcomes. Methods In this retrospective cohort study, 703 patients with complete data undergoing primary RTSA performed between 2011 and 2022 were analyzed. Persistent postsurgical pain was defined as a pain score ≥ 3 on a numeric rating scale. Multivariable regression models were used to identify patient-related and disease-related predictors of persistent postsurgical pain. Results The cohort comprised 445 women (63%) and 258 men (37%) with a mean age of 74 ± 8 years at the time of surgery. Persistent postsurgical pain was reported by 18% of patients. Preoperative pain scores averaged 6.0 ± 2.5 on the NRS scale, which decreased to 1.2 ± 1.8 postoperatively. Key predictors included higher preoperative pain levels (β = 0.10, p
