Conditions associated with carpal tunnel syndrome.
Mayo Clinic Proceedings 1992 June
With use of a comprehensive medical records-linkage system, we identified the comorbid conditions and risk factors in the residents of Rochester, Minnesota, who had a diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome during 1961 through 1980. In 43.2% of the 1,016 patients, no associated conditions were found on review of the medical records, whereas associated conditions were documented in 56.8%. The most frequent of these conditions were Colles' fracture, rheumatoid arthritis, hormonal agents or oophorectomy (or both), diabetes mellitus, and, among men, occupations that involved excessive use of the hands. Rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes mellitus, and pregnancy were significantly more frequent among the study patients with carpal tunnel syndrome than in the general population of Rochester, Minnesota. The standardized morbidity ratio was 3.6 for rheumatoid arthritis, 2.3 for diabetes mellitus, and 2.5 for pregnancy. The population attributable risk for pregnancy among women 15 to 44 years old was 7.0%. The standardized morbidity ratio for polymyalgia rheumatica was not significantly increased.
