We aimed to gain insight in the disease characteristics of soldiers with brachial plexus neuropathies in the Dutch military population and to compare disease characteristics between patients with BPP and NA. In this retrospective chart review study we aimed to include all patients with brachial plexus neuropathy, who presented in the Joint Military Hospital between 1 January, 2011 and 31 December, 2016. We calculated the incidence of NA and BPP and Chi\u2010square tests or Student <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic> tests were performed for differences in patient characteristics between NA and BPP. We included 127 patients, 63 with BPP, 45 with NA, 10 with traumatic brachial plexus neuropathy, and 9 with other plexopathy. The incidence of brachial plexus neuropathy was 50\/100\u2009000 person years overall, 25\/100\u2009000 person years for BPP, and 18\/100\u2009000 person years for NA. Patients in the BPP group differed from the NA with regard to pain (BPP 41% vs NA 93%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> =\u2009.000), atrophy (13% BPP vs 29% NA, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> =\u2009.049), and sensory symptoms (83% BPP vs 44% NA, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> =\u2009.000). In the BPP group 90% had incomplete recovery and in the NA group 78%. Our study showed a high incidence of BPP and NA in the military population and suggests recovery is not so benevolent as previously thought. Future research is necessary to improve insight and outcome of military patients with brachial plexus neuropathies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jns.12363","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,11]],"date-time":"2020-01-11T05:38:36Z","timestamp":1578721116000},"page":"27-31","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Backpack palsy and other brachial plexus neuropathies in the military population"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"25","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4401-8021","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sanne M.","family":"Dorhout Mees","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Joint Military Hospital  Utrecht The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nina L.","family":"van Faals","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University Medical Center Utrecht  Utrecht The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nens","family":"van Alfen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour Radboud University Medical Center  Nijmegen The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/01.blo.0000229338.29277.29"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/jramc-2014-000403"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.20131"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"822","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.56.5.822","article-title":"Rucksack palsy","volume":"56","author":"Rothner AD","year":"1975","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejpn.2016.05.006"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0128361"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0960-8966(99)00017-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1969.03160130031007"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-7216-9491-7.50058-2"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_11_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.25008"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_12_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2474-12-62"}],"container-title":["Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/jns.12363","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1111\/jns.12363","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/jns.12363","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,6]],"date-time":"2023-09-06T20:53:01Z","timestamp":1694033581000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/jns.12363"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,29]]},"references-count":11,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2020,3]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/jns.12363"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/jns.12363","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1085-9489","1529-8027"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1085-9489","type":"print"},{"value":"1529-8027","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,29]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2019-11-11","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2020-01-07","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2020-01-29","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
