Health-related quality of life in patients with conditions affecting the hand: #metaanalysis
➡️ doi.org/10.1093/bjs/zn…
This #metaanalysis aimed to determine health state utility values for electively managed conditions affecting the hand.
Pooled health state utility value estimates for carpal tunnel syndrome and hand osteoarthritis before surgical intervention were 0.69 (95% c.i. 0.66 to 0.73) and 0.63 (95% c.i. 0.60 to 0.67) respectively.
These health state utility value estimates suggest patients with untreated carpal tunnel syndrome and hand osteoarthritis have substantial impairments in #QOL and are comparable to health states experienced by patients with coronary artery disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
