The purpose\n                    of this study is to compare male and female patients by analyzing the risk\n                    factors associated with CTS patients who underwent surgical treatment, with\n                    focus on their occupation.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Patients\/Material and Methods retrospective chart review of 818 patients\n                    with CTS was performed to identify the associated risk factors. Patients were\n                    stratified by gender: female (n\u2005=\u2005707, 86.4\u2005%) and male (n\u2005=\u2005111, 13.6\u2005%). The\n                    mean patient age was 54.5 (range: 16\u201385 yr.) for all groups. The medical history\n                    and risk factors of each patient was thoroughly reviewed by medical charts and\n                    telephone survey. We categorized the risk factors of CTS into 7 categories:\n                    anatomic, neuropathic, inflammatory, alteration of fluid balance, distal radius\n                    fracture associated, occupational risk factor related, and idiopathic.\n                    Occupations of CTS patients were divided into high risk occupations (vibratory\n                    tools, assembly jobs, and food processing and packaging jobs, and other\n                    occupations of repetitive wrist motion and forceful gripping) and nonrisk\n                    occupations. All variables were analyzed with chi-square or Fisher\u2019s exact test\n                    for differences between men and women.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results The number of individuals with known risk factors of CTS was\n                    greater in male, compared to that of female patients; 97 (87.4\u2005%) male patients\n                    had the risk factors of CTS, while 361 (51.1\u2005%) female patients (p\u2005&lt;\u20050.001)\n                    did. In subgroup analysis of risk factors, male patients had frequent risk\n                    factors in neuropathic, inflammatory, and alteration of fluid balance\n                    (p\u2005&lt;\u20050.001). Occupational risk was strongly associated with male gender\n                    (p\u2005&lt;\u20050.001).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion Male CTS patients who underwent surgery are more likely to have\n                    a reason and have many occupational risk factors than women.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-0747-5982","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,7]],"date-time":"2018-11-07T23:34:51Z","timestamp":1541633691000},"page":"335-340","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Risk Factors of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome for Male Patient\n                    Undergoing Carpal Tunnel Release"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"50","author":[{"given":"Jun-Ku","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Inje University Seoul Paik Hospital Department of Orthopaedic\n                    Surgery"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Soo-Hyun","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bundang CHA Medical Center Department of Orthopedic\n                    surgery"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Banghyun","family":"Kim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Saenarae Hospital Department of Orthopaedic Surgery"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kyunghun","family":"Jung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bundang CHA Medical Center Department of Orthopedic\n                    surgery"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Inkeun","family":"Park","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Inje University Seoul Paik Hospital Department of Orthopaedic\n                    Surgery"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Soo-Hong","family":"Han","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bundang CHA Medical Center Department of Orthopedic\n                    surgery"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,7]]},"container-title":["Handchirurgie \u00b7 Mikrochirurgie \u00b7 Plastische Chirurgie"],"original-title":[],"language":"de","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/products\/ejournals\/pdf\/10.1055\/a-0747-5982.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,7]],"date-time":"2018-11-07T23:34:53Z","timestamp":1541633693000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/www.thieme-connect.de\/DOI\/DOI?10.1055\/a-0747-5982"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2018,9]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"05","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,7]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2018,9]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1055\/a-0747-5982","relation":{},"ISSN":["0722-1819","1439-3980"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0722-1819","type":"print"},{"value":"1439-3980","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2018,9]]}}}
