This case\u2013control study explored the association between CTS, stenosing tenosynovitis (ST), and ulnar side NMDs and CAD. The study utilized data from Taiwan\u2019s National Health Insurance Research Database, focusing on health insurance claims. Between January 2000 and December 2011, we employed the International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-9-CM) diagnostic codes to identify 64,025 CAD patients as the case group. The control group consisted of an equal number of individuals without CAD, matched for age, sex, and index year of CAD. Logistic regression analysis was employed to calculate the odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for each variable. Multivariate analysis, after adjusting for sociodemographic factors and comorbidities, revealed a significantly higher likelihood of a previous diagnosis of CTS in the CAD group compared to the comparison control group. However, neither ST nor the ulnar side NMDs had any statistical significance. These results indicated that median nerve injury, rather than other NMDs, may uniquely serve as a predisposing factor of CAD.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics14020199","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,16]],"date-time":"2024-01-16T08:12:37Z","timestamp":1705392757000},"page":"199","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Increased Risk of Coronary Artery Disease in People with Diagnosis of Neuromuscular Disorders: A Nationwide Retrospective Population-Based Case\u2013Control Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Yi-Chuan","family":"Chang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Institute of Acupuncture Science, College of Chinese Medicine, China Medical University, Taichung 404328, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Chinese Medicine, China Medical University Beigang Hospital, Yunlin 651012, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ing-Shiow","family":"Lay","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Chinese Medicine, China Medical University Beigang Hospital, Yunlin 651012, Taiwan"},{"name":"School of Post-Baccalaureate Chinese Medicine, China Medical University, Taichung 404328, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cheng-Hao","family":"Tu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Institute of Acupuncture Science, College of Chinese Medicine, China Medical University, Taichung 404328, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9510-3146","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yu-Chen","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate Institute of Acupuncture Science, College of Chinese Medicine, China Medical University, Taichung 404328, Taiwan"},{"name":"School of Chinese Medicine, China Medical University, Taichung 404328, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Chinese Medicine, China Medical University Hospital, Taichung 404328, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"GBD 2013 Mortality and Causes of Death Collaborators (2015).
