Abstract

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a considerable concern, impacting individual health and socio-economic factors. A systematic review and meta-analysis of CTS prevalence would offer valuable insights for healthcare planning, improving outcomes and reducing the burden on affected individuals.

Methods: In line with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, a meta-analysis was conducted to estimate the prevalence of CTS. Medline, CINAHL, AMED, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were searched for studies published from 1 January 2012 to 10 October 2024. The pooled prevalence rates were determined using a random effects model.

Results: The search yielded 548 initial findings, 103 duplicate records were eliminated, and only 31 of these papers were deemed relevant for inclusion in this review. The prevalence estimates were sourced from 15 different countries, including the United States (n = 8), Saudi Arabia (n = 5), Ethiopia (n = 3), Turkey (n = 2), Iran (n = 2) and Brazil (n = 2), among others. Each of the following countries contributed one study: China, France, Germany, India, Kuwait, the United Kingdom, Korea, the Netherlands, and Sweden. In total, the included studies analysed 5,311,785 individuals, revealing a prevalence of CTS ranging from 0.003 to 0.743. The random-effects meta-analysis yielded an overall prevalence estimate of 0.144, with a 95% confidence interval (CI) of 0.067-0.282, based on 30 studies.

Conclusion: The prevalence estimates for CTS are notably high, highlighting the need for effective surgical management strategies. Developing and implementing these interventions is crucial to enhancing health outcomes for individuals affected by CTS.

腕管综合征的全球和地区患病率：基于系统综述的 Meta 分析。

背景：腕管综合征（CTS）是一个备受关注的问题，影响着个人健康和社会经济因素。对腕管综合征的发病率进行系统回顾和荟萃分析将为医疗保健规划、改善疗效和减轻患者负担提供有价值的见解：根据系统综述和荟萃分析首选报告项目（PRISMA）指南，我们进行了一项荟萃分析，以估算 CTS 的患病率。在 Medline、CINAHL、AMED、Scopus 和 Web of Science 数据库中检索了 2012 年 1 月 1 日至 2024 年 10 月 10 日期间发表的研究。采用随机效应模型确定了汇总患病率：结果：搜索共获得 548 项初步结果，剔除了 103 条重复记录，其中只有 31 篇论文被认为与本综述相关。流行率估计值来自 15 个不同的国家，包括美国（8 篇）、沙特阿拉伯（5 篇）、埃塞俄比亚（3 篇）、土耳其（2 篇）、伊朗（2 篇）和巴西（2 篇）等。以下每个国家都提供了一份研究报告：中国、法国、德国、印度、科威特、英国、韩国、荷兰和瑞典。纳入的研究共分析了 5,311,785 人，发现 CTS 的患病率在 0.003 到 0.743 之间。随机效应荟萃分析根据30项研究得出的总患病率估计值为0.144，95%置信区间（CI）为0.067-0.282：结论：CTS的患病率估计值明显偏高，这凸显了有效外科管理策略的必要性。制定和实施这些干预措施对于提高 CTS 患者的健康水平至关重要。
