Health-related quality of life in patients with conditions affecting the hand: meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Pooled utility estimates for patients with untreated carpal tunnel syndrome and hand osteoarthritis are 11% and 18% lower than age-matched population norms respectively. Hand conditions have a significant detrimental impact on health-related quality of life and this study provides catalogued utility values for use in future economic analyses to support the delivery of value-based hand surgery.PMID:38593043 | PMC:PMC11003527 | DOI:10.1093/bjs/znae067
