One hundred fifty-two wrists in 108 patients (64 unilateral, 44 bilateral) met the inclusion criteria. Demographic, medical, and surgical data were obtained from patient records. Bivariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess predictors of RTW.\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Eighty-nine percent of all patients returned to work full-duty. Average RTW duration in all wrists was 12.5 \u00b1 11.3 weeks. Predictors of delayed RTW in bivariate and multivariate analyses were depression with or without anxiety, chronic pain disorders including fibromyalgia, preoperative opioid use, and modified preoperative work status. Job type, motor nerve conduction velocity, and bilateral surgery were not predictive of delayed RTW interval.\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>\n                    WC patients with depression, anxiety, or fibromyalgia and other chronic pain disorders were significantly more likely to have delayed RTW following CTR than were WC patients without these conditions. In addition, those who use opioid medications preoperatively and those with preoperative work restrictions were also found to have a significantly delayed RTW after CTR. Knowledge of these risk factors may help care providers and employers identify those WC patients who are most likely to have a protracted postoperative recovery period.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1558944716661991","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,28]],"date-time":"2016-07-28T22:49:15Z","timestamp":1469746155000},"page":"246-251","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Prognostic Variables for Patient Return-to-Work Interval Following Carpal Tunnel Release in a Workers\u2019 Compensation Population"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Jenniefer Y.","family":"Kho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Sutter Gould Medical Foundation, Modesto, CA, USA"},{"name":"The Philadelphia Hand Center, PA, USA"},{"name":"Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael P.","family":"Gaspar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Philadelphia Hand Center, PA, USA"},{"name":"Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Patrick M.","family":"Kane","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Philadelphia Hand Center, PA, USA"},{"name":"Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sidney M.","family":"Jacoby","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Philadelphia Hand Center, PA, USA"},{"name":"Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Eon K.","family":"Shin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Philadelphia Hand Center, PA, USA"},{"name":"Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia, PA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,7,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_2_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsb.2005.06.018."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3928\/01477447-20151120-02"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_4_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0363-5023(97)80085-8."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_5_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2009.11.003."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_6_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.1790110411"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_7_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2011.10.033."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_8_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.L.00064."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_9_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/occmed\/kqn034."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_10_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1754-9493-7-1."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_11_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0050251."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_12_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsb.2004.03.002"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_13_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2006.07.023."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_14_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1142\/S0218810410004655."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_15_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00000637-199603000-00010"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_16_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0018720813496567"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_17_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/s10926-005-3420-0."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_18_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/1753193415576248."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_19_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2008.05.020."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_20_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5435\/JAAOS-21-02-67."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_21_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3122\/jabfm.16.6.533"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_22_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-0274(199701)31:1<85::AID-AJIM13>3.0.CO;2-3"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_23_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/oemed-2014-102304."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_24_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1054\/jhsb.2001.0616"},{"key":"e_1_3_2_25_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2007.11.025."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_26_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jse.2014.07.009."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_27_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0015158."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_28_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/art.24002."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_29_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.20952."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_30_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jht.2013.10.001."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_31_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2106\/JBJS.I.01317."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_32_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0300060515587578."},{"key":"e_1_3_2_33_2","unstructured":"U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. 2013 Nonfatal Occupational Injuries and Illnesses: Cases With Days Away From Work. http:\/\/www.bls.gov\/iif\/oshwc\/osh\/case\/osch0053.pdf.
