Abstract

We aimed to investigate socioeconomic differences between sexes and the influence on outcome following surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) or ulnar nerve entrapment (UNE) at the elbow. Patients with CTS (n = 9000) or UNE (n = 1266) registered in the Swedish National Register for Hand Surgery (HAKIR) 2010-2016 were included and evaluated using QuickDASH 12 months postoperatively. Statistics Sweden (SCB) provided socioeconomic data. In women with CTS, being born outside Sweden, having received social assistance, and more sick leave days predicted worse outcomes. Higher earnings and the highest level of education predicted better outcomes. In men with CTS, more sick leave days and having received social assistance predicted worse outcomes. Higher earnings predicted better outcomes. For women with UNE, higher earnings predicted better outcomes. In men with UNE, only sick leave days predicted worse outcomes. In long-term follow up, socioeconomic status affects outcomes differently in women and men with CTS or UNE.

手术治疗腕管综合征和尺神经卡压的性别社会经济差异。

我们的目的是调查两性之间的社会经济差异以及对肘部腕管综合征(CTS)或尺神经卡压(UNE)手术后结果的影响。纳入2010-2016年在瑞典国家手外科登记处(HAKIR)登记的CTS (n = 9000)或UNE (n = 1266)患者，并在术后12个月使用QuickDASH进行评估。瑞典统计局(SCB)提供了社会经济数据。在患有CTS的女性中，出生在瑞典境外、接受过社会救助、病假天数更多的女性预示着更糟糕的结果。更高的收入和最高的教育水平预示着更好的结果。在患有CTS的男性中，更多的病假天数和接受过社会救助预示着更糟糕的结果。更高的收入预示着更好的结果。对于患有UNE的女性来说，更高的收入预示着更好的结果。在患有UNE的男性中，只有请病假才预示着更糟糕的结果。在长期随访中，社会经济地位对CTS或UNE患者的预后影响不同。
