Abstract

Background

Very few meta-analyses discussed risk factors for lateral epicondylitis (LE), and previous meta-analyses reached conflicting conclusions with each other on some specific risk factors.

Purpose

To investigate the risk factors for LE through meta-analysis.

Study Design

Meta-analysis.

Methods

PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched for relevant studies in January 2022. Raw data were extracted into a predefined worksheet, and quality analysis was conducted by the Quality in Prognosis Studies (QUIPS) tool. Pooled effect sizes and 95% confidence intervals were calculated. R package "meta" was used for statistical analysis.

Results

22 studies were included in the meta-analysis. Female sex (odds ratio [OR] = 1.33 and p-value < 0.05), smoking history (OR = 1.46 and p-value < 0.001), manual labor (OR = 2.39 and p-value < 0.001), and hypercholesterolemia (OR = 1.67 and p-value < 0.05) were significant risk factors for LE.

Conclusions

Female gender, smoking history, manual labor, and hypercholesterolemia could increase the risk of LE. According to an additional literature review, statin treatment for hypercholesterolemia is described as potentially related to the development of LE.

外侧上髁炎风险因素的荟萃分析

背景很少有荟萃分析讨论外侧上髁炎（LE）的危险因素，而且之前的荟萃分析在某些特定危险因素上得出的结论相互矛盾。目的通过荟萃分析研究外侧上髁炎的危险因素。研究设计荟萃分析方法检索PubMed、Embase和Web of Science数据库中2022年1月的相关研究。将原始数据提取到预定义的工作表中，并使用预后研究质量（QUIPS）工具进行质量分析。计算汇总效应大小和 95% 置信区间。统计分析使用 R 软件包 "meta"。结论女性性别、吸烟史、体力劳动和高胆固醇血症可增加罹患 LE 的风险。另一项文献综述显示，他汀类药物治疗高胆固醇血症可能与 LE 的发生有关。
