An extensive electronic search was performed across six databases: MEDLINE, Cochrane, Google Scholar, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase.

Key factors included upper limb fractures with high pain levels (over 5/10 on a numeric rating scale), significantly associated with increased CRPS-I risk (OR: 3.6). Additional significant risk factors included female gender and comorbidities like migraines (OR: 2.7), fibromyalgia (OR: 2.5), and rheumatoid arthritis (OR: 2.1).
