Abstract

Prospective cohort study. Identification of risk factors for CRPS development in patients with surgically treated traumatic injuries attending hand therapy allows to watch at-risk patients more closely for early diagnosis and to take precautionary measures as required. The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk factors for the development of complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) after surgical treatment of traumatic hand injuries. In this prospective cohort, 291 patients with traumatic hand injuries were evaluated 3 days after surgery and monitored for 3 months for the development of CRPS. The factors assessed for the development of CRPS were age, sex, manual work, postoperative pain within 3 days measured on a Pain Numerical Rating Scale (0-10), and injury type (crush injury, blunt trauma, and cut laceration injury). CRPS was diagnosed in 68 patients (26.2 %) with a duration of 40.10 ± 17.01 days between the surgery and CRPS diagnosis. The mean postoperative pain score was greater in patients with CRPS than in those without CRPS (P < .001). Patients with pain scores ≥ 5 had a high risk of developing CRPS compared with patients with pain scores <5 (odds ratio: 3.61, confidence interval = 1.94-6.70). Patients with crush inju...Continue Reading
