“…Women were slightly underrepresented in the sample (42% vs. 47% in the region). Overall, the distribution of occupations in the study sample was close to that of the regional workforce, except for the occupations not surveyed by the OPs (e.g., shopkeepers and independent workers) 1,3) . Subjects worked mainly in the service industry (58.6%) and the manufacturing industry (33.7%) sectors, and more rarely in the construction (5.8%) and agriculture (1.9%) sectors.…”

“…Between April 2002 and April 2005, a total of 83 OPs, representing 18% of OPs of the region, volunteered to take part in the study. They were representative of the region's OPs in terms of medical practice, working time and geographic and economic sectors covered 3) . Subjects were selected at random, following a two-stage sampling procedure: first, the research team chose 15-45 half-days of scheduled examinations for each OP.…”

Effects of Individual and Work‐related Factors on Incidence of Shoulder Pain in a Large Working Population: Julie BODIN, et al. LUNAM Université, Université d’Angers, Laboratoire d’ergonomie et d’épidémiologie en santé au travail (LEEST), France— Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the effects of individual and work‐related factors on the incidence of shoulder pain in a large French working population. Methods A total of 3,710 workers of a French region were randomly included in a cross‐sectional study between 2002 and 2005. They completed a self‐administered questionnaire about musculoskeletal symptoms, individual factors and exposure to work constraints. In 2007, 2,332 responded to a follow‐up questionnaire. The Nordic questionnaire was used both times to assess shoulder pain during the preceding 7 days. Associations between incident shoulder pain and individual and work‐related factors at baseline were studied by multivariate logistic regression for both genders. Results A total of 946 men and 709 women without shoulder pain at baseline were eligible for the analyses. At follow‐up, 105 men (11.1%) and 145 women (20.5%) reported shoulder pain. For men, age (OR 3.3, 95% CI, 1.7–6.5 for ≥50 yr), working with arms above the shoulder (1.5; 1.0–2.3) and high perceived physical exertion (1.6; 1.0–2.5) increased the risk of incident shoulder pain. For women, the factors associated with incident shoulder pain were age (2.9; 1.5–5.8 for ≥50 yr), obesity (2.5; 1.4–4.5), temporary employment (2.1; 1.1–3.7), high perceived physical exertion (2.2; 1.4–3.5) and low decision latitude (1.6; 1.0–2.3). Conclusion Age was the strongest predictor of incident shoulder pain in both genders. BMI and biomechanical and psychosocial factors were also identified as risk factors, whereas no factor related to work organization remained in the final models.

Background The intracompartmental septum in the first extensor compartment in patients with de Quervain's disease has been associated with disease development and prognosis. However, with the exception of surgical exploration, there is no way of detecting the septum. Questions/Purposes We evaluated the accuracy of sonography for identifying the intracompartmental septum in the first extensor compartment in patients with de Quervain's disease using surgical findings as the reference standard. Patients and Methods We performed surgical release of the first extensor compartment in 43 wrists of 40 patients who were unresponsive to nonoperative treatment. In each case, a sonographic evaluation was performed before surgery by a radiologist and the sonographic and surgical findings were compared. Results Sonography identified the intracompartmental septum in 19 of the 19 septum-present wrists and absence of the septum in 23 of the 24 septum-absent wrists. The sensitivity of sonography was 100% (95% confidence interval, 80%-100%), its specificity 96% (95% confidence interval, 78%-100%), accuracy 98% (95% confidence interval, 87%-100%), positive predictive value 95% (95% confidence interval, 74%-100%), and negative predictive value 100% (95% confidence interval, 83%-100%). Sonography also identified septum-like structures in 15 of 37 (41%) asymptomatic contralateral wrists.
