To investigate the increased risk for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in men and women with hand-arm vibration (HAV) exposure.
Case-control study of CTS where 4396 cases was obtained from National Outpatient Register between 2005 through 2016. Cases were matched to controls and exposure was estimated using a job exposure matrix.
Exposure to HAV increased the risk of CTS with an OR of 1.61 (95% CI 1.46-1.77). The risk was highest in men <30 years of age and among women <30 years no increased risk was observed. The risk increased with a mean year exposure above 2.5 m/s2 to OR 1.84 (95% CI 1.38-2.46).
HAV exposure increase the risk of CTS in both genders, with highest risk increase in younger men. This emphasize identification of HAV exposure in patients with CTS.
研究手-臂振动(HAV)暴露人群中男性和女性患腕管综合征(CTS)的风险增加。
这是一项 CTS 的病例对照研究,共纳入了 2005 年至 2016 年间全国门诊登记处的 4396 例病例。通过职业暴露矩阵来评估病例和对照的暴露情况。
HAV 暴露增加了 CTS 的发病风险,比值比(OR)为 1.61(95%置信区间 1.46-1.77)。在 <30 岁的男性和 <30 岁的女性中,风险最高,但未观察到风险增加。随着平均每年暴露于 2.5m/s2 以上的 HAV,风险增加,比值比为 1.84(95%置信区间 1.38-2.46)。
HAV 暴露增加了两性患 CTS 的风险,年轻男性的风险增加最大。这强调了在 CTS 患者中识别 HAV 暴露的重要性。
