Separating Fact From Fiction: A Nationwide Longitudinal Examination of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome Following Treatment of Dupuytren Contracture.

ABSTRACT:

Background

One of the most feared complications following treatment of Dupuytren contracture is complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS). This study aims to provide a national perspective on the incidence of CRPS following treatment of Dupuytren contracture and identify patient factors to target for risk reduction.

Methods

Using the Truven MarketScan databases from 2007 to 2016, individuals aged ≥18 years who developed CRPS within 1 year of treatment of Dupuytren contracture were identified using the International Classification of Disease diagnosis code for CRPS. Predictor variables included: age, sex, employment status, region, type of procedure, and concurrent carpal tunnel surgery. Multivariable logistic regression was used to analyze outcomes.

Results

In all, 48 327
