目的确定拉丁美洲家禽加工工人腕管综合征（CTS）的患病率。症状和神经传导研究用于前瞻性评估287名拉丁裔家禽加工工人和226名其他体力劳动职业的拉丁裔工人。禽类加工行业的CTS患病率（8.7%）高于非禽类手工工作者（4.0%,p < 0.0001）。与非家禽工人相比，家禽工人CTS患病率的调整优势比为2.51 （95% CI为1.80至3.50）。在家禽工人中，那些从事包装、卫生和冷藏工作的人比那些从事重复性和剧烈手部运动的人有更少的CTS趋势。拉丁美洲家禽加工工人的CTS患病率很高，这可能是由于工作的重复性和艰苦性质。
To determine the prevalence of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in Latino poultry processing workers. Symptoms and nerve conduction studies were used to prospectively assess 287 Latino poultry processing workers and 226 Latinos in other manual labor occupations. The prevalence of CTS was higher in poultry processing (8.7%) compared to non-poultry manual workers (4.0%, p < 0.0001). The adjusted odds ratio for the prevalence of CTS in poultry workers was 2.51 (95% CI of 1.80 to 3.50) compared to non-poultry workers. Within the poultry workers, those who performed packing, sanitation, and chilling had a trend toward less CTS than those who performed tasks requiring more repetitive and strenuous hand movements. Latino poultry processing workers have a high prevalence of CTS, which likely results from the repetitive and strenuous nature of the work.
