The aim of this study was to determine whether results from the RSI QuickScan questionnaire on risk factors for arm, shoulder and neck symptoms can predict future arm, neck and shoulder symptoms in a population of computer workers. For this prospective cohort study, with a follow-up of 24 months, 3383 workers who regularly worked with a computer were approached. Generalised estimating equations (GEE) with 6, 12, 18 and 24 months time lags were used to determine whether high exposure was related to symptoms at follow-up. The results showed that high scores on 9 out of 13 scales, including previous symptoms, were significantly related to arm, shoulder and neck symptoms at follow-up. These results provide support for the predictive validity of the RSI QuickScan questionnaire.
The results showed that high scores on 9 out of 13 scales, including previous symptoms, were significantly related to arm, shoulder and neck symptoms at follow-up. The RSI QuickScan questionnaire may be recommended as a tool in the identification of computer workers who should be targeted with interventions aimed at prevention of future symptoms.
本研究旨在确定 RSI QuickScan 问卷中关于手臂、肩部和颈部症状风险因素的结果是否可以预测计算机工作者未来的手臂、颈部和肩部症状。为此，我们进行了一项前瞻性队列研究，随访时间为 24 个月，共招募了 3383 名经常使用计算机的工作人员。使用广义估计方程（GEE）分析了 6、12、18 和 24 个月的时间滞后，以确定高暴露是否与随访时的症状相关。结果表明，13 个量表中的 9 个高分，包括先前的症状，与随访时的手臂、肩部和颈部症状显著相关。这些结果为 RSI QuickScan 问卷的预测效度提供了支持。
