| Sumario: | [eng] Introduction: P-CTS depends on several factors, such as demographic changes. Regarding the changed lifestyle of the Iranian society and the economic and health consequences of the Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), the present study intended to investigate the P-CTS in the Iranian population. Methods: The present systematic review study was performed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) steps. We systematically searched Scopus, Web of Sciences (ISI), PubMed, PEDro, and Science Direct databases and national databases (Magiran and SID) to identify relevant studies published from 2000 to 2020 using various combinations of the following keywords: carpal tunnel syndrome, wrist, median nerve, electrodiagnostic, and median nerve compression neuropathy. STROBE checklist was used to assess the quality of articles. Results: 598 articles were initially identified, of which 16 (60% more than the previous meta-analysis) were evaluated with a total of 15325 subjects. The quality assessment of articles varied from 30 to 42 (all were excellent). Conclusion: P-CTS among patients ranges from 18 to 26%. In the general population with general risk factors (i.e., diabetes, hand injuries, etc.) is 1.87-7%. In groups with a high frequency of repetitive movements of the wrist (e.g., carpenters, typists, those who use a wheelchair, computer users, employees), the prevalence is 10-15%. |
