研究背景：工人腕管综合征（CTS）的患病率和工作相关性为了解危险因素和预防目标提供了线索。方法采用2010年全国健康访谈调查的职业健康补充资料，根据人口学特征估计自我报告的临床诊断CTS的总体患病率。这些自我报告归因于临床医生工作的病例的比例也通过总体和人口统计学特征进行了检查。此外，将与工作有关的CTS个案所归属的行业及职业类别的分布，与目前/最近的工人的就业的行业及职业类别分布进行比较。结果27,157名成年人可获得数据，其中包括17,524名在职或最近的工人。目前/近期工人中临床诊断的CTS的总体终生患病率为6.7%。12个月患病率为3.1%，约有480万名患有CTS的工人；这些病例中67.1%归因于临床医生的工作，某些I&O类别的代表性过高。结论：2010年，CTS影响了近500万美国工人，其患病率因人口特征和I&O而异。点。中华医学杂志，2013,26(6):615-624。(c) 2012 Wiley期刊有限公司
Background Patterns of prevalence and work-relatedness of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) among workers offer clues about risk factors and targets for prevention. Methods Data from an occupational health supplement to the 2010 National Health Interview Survey were used to estimate the prevalence of self-reported clinician-diagnosed CTS overall and by demographic characteristics. The proportion of these cases self-reported to have been attributed to work by clinicians was also examined overall and by demographic characteristics. In addition, the distribution of industry and occupation (I&O) categories to which work-related cases of CTS were attributed was compared to the distribution of I&O categories of employment among current/recent workers. Results Data were available for 27,157 adults, including 17,524 current/recent workers. The overall lifetime prevalence of clinician-diagnosed CTS among current/recent workers was 6.7%. The 12-month prevalence was 3.1%, representing approximately 4.8 million workers with current CTS; 67.1% of these cases were attributed to work by clinicians, with overrepresentation of certain I&O categories. Conclusions CTS affected almost 5 million U.S. workers in 2010, with prevalence varying by demographic characteristics and I&O. Am. J. Ind. Med. 56:615-624, 2013. (c) 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
