A survey of supermarket checkers was undertaken early in 1986 to assess the prevalence of symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Following three mailings, 83% of the 1,345 checkers had responded. The analysis, which was restricted to female workers aged 18 to 49 years, showed an overall prevalence of self-reported CTS symptoms of 62.5%. Prevalence rates were related to use of laser scanners, age, years worked as a checker, and average number of hours worked per week. The findings were similar when more restrictive criteria of CTS symptoms were used. Use of estrogens was not positively related to reported CTS symptoms.
1986年初对超市收银员进行了一项调查，以评估腕管综合征（CTS）症状的患病率。经过三次邮件发送，1345名收银员中有83%进行了回复。分析仅限于年龄在18至49岁的女性工人，结果显示自我报告的CTS症状总体患病率为62.5%。患病率与激光扫描仪的使用、年龄、担任收银员的年限以及每周平均工作小时数有关。当使用更严格的CTS症状标准时，研究结果相似。雌激素的使用与报告的CTS症状没有正相关。
