Quality of care for work-associated carpal tunnel syndrome.
This study evaluated the quality of care provided to individuals with workers' compensation claims related to carpal tunnel syndrome and identified patient characteristics associated with receiving better care. Overall, 81.6 percent of care adhered to recommended standards. Patients with classic/probable Katz diagrams, positive electrodiagnostic tests, and higher incomes received better care. However, age, sex, and race/ethnicity were not associated with quality.
