To estimate the prevalence of carpal tunnel syndrome among US adults, data from the Occupational Health Supplement of the 1988 National Health Interview Survey were analyzed. Based on a sample of 44,233 households (response rate, 91.5%), an estimated 1.55% (2.65 million) of 170 million adults self-reported carpal tunnel syndrome in 1988. Females and Whites had a higher prevalence of self-reporting carpal tunnel syndrome than males and non-Whites, respectively. Among 127 million adults who worked during the 12 months before the survey, 0.53% (0.68 million) reported that their "prolonged" hand discomfort was called carpal tunnel syndrome by a health care provider.
为估算美国成年人中腕管综合征的患病率,对1988年全国健康访谈调查职业健康补充调查的数据进行了分析。基于44233户家庭的样本(应答率为91.5%),估计在1.7亿成年人中,有1.55%(265万)在1988年自我报告患有腕管综合征。女性和白人自我报告腕管综合征的患病率分别高于男性和非白人。在调查前12个月内工作的1.27亿成年人中,有0.53%(68万)报告称其“长期”手部不适被医疗服务提供者诊断为腕管综合征。
