Title

PREVALENCE OF CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME IN IRAN: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS

Pages

  144-153

Abstract

 Background and purpose: CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME is the most common entrapmentneuropathy caused by increased pressure of median nerve in the wrist area. The results of electronicsearches in several studies have shown different PREVALENCE rates of this syndrome in Iran in differentpopulations. So, the purpose of this study was to estimate the PREVALENCE of CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME inIran using META-ANALYSIS. Materials and methods: Relevant keywords were searched in national and internationaldatabases. The articles were then selected based on inclusion/ exclusion criteria and quality assessment. Data including author names, year of publication, sample size, sample descriptions, assessment criteria, and the PREVALENCE rate of CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME were entered in Excel. The standard error of theprevalence of CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME in each study was calculated based on the formula for binomialdistribution. According to the I-squared heterogeneity and Q indices, the random or fixed effect modelwere used to estimate the overall PREVALENCE. Also, sensitivity analysis, meta-regression, and survey ofpublication bias were carried out. Results: A systematic search was completed and 10 articles met the inclusion criteria with 11evidence of the PREVALENCE of CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME in Iran. A total of 14525 people had been studied inwhom the PREVALENCE of CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME varied from 1. 82% to 64. 6%. The overall PREVALENCE ofCARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME with physical examination based on the random effect model was estimated to be17. 53% (95% CI, 13. 74-21. 31%). Conclusion: This META-ANALYSIS showed a relatively high PREVALENCE of CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROMEin Iran. But, the frequency of this syndrome in different target groups requires further investigations.
