We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the current literature aiming to answer these questions.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Methods The MEDLINE, EMBASE, and SCOPUS databases were searched for studies evaluating ERIs in gastroenterologists and surgeons. The co-primary outcome was the prevalence of ERIs (i.e. carpal tunnel syndrome, de Quervain\u2019s tenosynovitis, and hand numbness). The second co-primary outcome was the prevalence of endoscopy-related pain syndromes.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Results 12 studies, including 4563 respondents, were included. The majority of respondents were men (n = 3321; 72.8%) and most were right-handed (86.2%). The career prevalence of carpal tunnel syndrome (pooled from 10 studies) was 5.3% (95%CI 1.5%\u20138.9%; I\n            2 = 97.1%), while the prevalence of de Quervain\u2019s tenosynovitis (five studies) was 8.5% (95%CI 0.1%\u201317.0%). The pooled prevalences of thumb pain, neck pain, and back pain were 25.4%, 23.1%, and 19.7%, respectively, but the prevalence varied according to the type of questionnaire used. Only 341\/864 respondents (39.5%) had received prior training in ergonomics, while 623\/889 respondents (70.1%) expressed a desire for further training in ergonomics. Overall, there is a moderate risk of bias in the present literature.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n            Conclusion ERIs, including carpal tunnel syndrome, de Quervain\u2019s tenosynovitis, and endoscopy-related pain, are very common. These injuries can be severe, requiring surgery, and lead to loss of productivity. Most gastroenterologists report an unmet need for training in the proper ergonomics of endoscopy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/a-2270-4174","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,2,17]],"date-time":"2024-02-17T00:33:51Z","timestamp":1708130031000},"page":"612-619","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Prevalence
