Abstract
Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) seems to be more frequently diagnosed in patients with Diabetes mellitus (DM) and is possibly associated with specific diabetic related factors. The aim of this study was to determine if DM can be pointed out as a risk factor for CTS in the Netherlands. Furthermore we investigated the influence of duration of DM, microvascular complications and glycaemic control on the CTS development. Methods: This case-control study compared a CTS group with a control group of operated herniated nucleus pulposes patients. Data were collected from the electronic database of the Isala Clinics. Statistical analysis was carried out using logistic regression, with correcting for confounding variables. Multiple imputation was used for dealing with missing data. Results: A total of 1014 patients with CTS and 594 controls were included. The prevalence of DM was 12.3% in the CTS group versus 7.2% in the control group (OR 1.80 (95% BI 1.25-2.59)). In multivariate analyses with correction for gender, age and BMI DM was not significantly associated with CTS (95% BI OR 1.12 (0.75-1.66)). There was no difference in duration of diabetes, microvascular complications or glyceamic control between groups. Conclusion: Within this study DM was not proven to be as risk factor for CTS. Furthermore, CTS was not associated with the duration of diabetes, complications of diabetes or glycaemic control.
