A total of 187 patients with lumbar radiculopathy underwent epidural steroid injection. On follow-up 1 to 3 years later, patients were asked if their initial injury was work-related and if they were unemployed as a result of their injury. They also rated their response to injection. Fifty-two percent of the patients with work-related injury v 68% of the patients with non-work-related injury responded to epidural steroid injection (P = 0.46).
共有187例腰椎神经根病患者接受了硬膜外类固醇注射。在1至3年后的随访中,询问患者其初始损伤是否与工作有关,以及他们是否因伤失业。他们还对注射的反应进行了评分。与工作有关的损伤患者中有52%对硬膜外类固醇注射有反应,而非工作相关损伤患者中有68%有反应(P = 0.46)。
