Question 1 9.1 pts Was the aim of this study to: Find the prevalence of carpal tunnel syndrome Assess the portion of the risk for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) that is attributable to specic industry sectors and occupation categories Find general risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome Question 2 9.1 pts What type of study is this? A case-control study A cohort study A case-only study Question 3 9.1 pts Who was included in the study? " Patients with a history of CTS in the same wrist were excluded ' Patients aged 20-59 years residing the Maine and Loire regions of France who had undergone electrodiagnostic studies (EDS) of the upper limb by a physician employed at one of the electrodiagnostic centers Patients aged less than 20 years old Question 4 9.1 pts How was exposure measured? ' Via self-administered questionnaire collecting risk factor information on medical and surgical history, and employment history during the previous 5 years " Via physician interviews to obtain reliable risk factors information over the last 20 years " Via medical record review to nd industry sectors and occupation categories Question 5 9.1 pts How was the outcome measured? ' Both ' By electrodiagnostic studies of the upper limbs by a physician ' By clinical criteria based on symptoms Question 6 9.1 pts Was this a reliable way of measuring outcome? " Yes, they used an established clinical criterion as well as a diagnostic test No, the clinical criteria were too vague Question 7 9.1 pts What was the key nding of the study? " Physician participation was inconsistent during the 3-year period " Persons working in sewage industry had the highest risk " They identified 8 occupational categories (8 for women; 6 for men) and 32 subcategories associated with signicant risk for CTS. " The incidence of CTS increased with age Question 8 9.1 pts What were the limitations of the study? 'Choose all that apply' The network of physicians was small, thus they may have underestimated the incidence of CTS The reference group was the entire sample of patients who were active or inactive included in the past 5 yearsd T Physician participation was inconsistent during the 3year period They did not collect information on nonprofessional activities that may be associated with the risk of CTS Question 9 9.1 pts What were some other factors that the authors thought might have affected the outcome? 'Choose all that apply' T Selection bias '_ Sex T Age Question 10 9.1 pts Strenghts of the study included: 'Choose all that apply' There was a large number of cases in all age groups All incident cases reported by the sentinel surveillance network of physicians were included The case definition for CTS was in agreement with recent consensus definitions The analysis controlled for all potential confounding factors related to risk factors for CTS Question 11 9.1 pts Summary: This lecture describes absolute and relative measures of effect and association, key terms and elements of statistical testing and hypothesis testing, including p values and confidence interval, and elements of causal relationship and theories of causation.
