There were 111 patients (26%) that reported HAV exposure. The prevalence of HAV exposure was significantly greater in male compared with female patients (32% versus 4%; P &amp;lt; 0.001). A statistically significant difference in preoperative (difference 7.47; 95% confidence interval 4.78\u201310.17; P &amp;lt; 0.001) and postoperative QuickDASH score (difference 6.78; 95% confidence interval 2.69\u201310.88; P &amp;lt; 0.001) was observed between the two groups, but difference in QuickDASH improvement was not significantly different (difference 1.76; 95% confidence interval \u22121.58 to 5.10; P &amp;gt; 0.05). No significant difference in satisfaction rate or return to work was observed between the two groups.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>Previous HAV exposure influenced the pre and postoperative function in patients undergoing surgery for Dupuytren\u2019s contracture, but had no effect on satisfaction or return to work.
