Dupuytren’s Disease in Relation to the Exposure to Hand-Transmitted Vibration: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis †
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Materials and Methods
- Level 1 = Estimate of the total number of years during the working life that involved exposure to vibrations from working with vibrating handheld machines;
- Level 2 = Estimate of the number of hours per day of exposure to vibrations from work with vibrating hand-held machines;
- Level 3 = Assessment of the daily vibration exposure through a combination of the daily exposure time and measured vibration level on the used machines;
- Level 4 = Assessment of the cumulative total vibration exposure over the entire working life through a combination of the daily exposure time, the measured vibration level of the used machines, and the number of years in which the various exposures occurred.
3. Results
3.1. Meta-Analysis of the Studies of the Groups “Exposed” versus “Not Exposed” to Vibration
3.2. Meta-Analysis of the Studies of “Low Exposure” Compared to “High Exposure”
4. Discussion
