Open the original (DOI 10.1002/hsr2.1575)- What it measures
- The study began with patients who had a neck nerve problem and then checked them for carpal tunnel syndrome, so the figure describes overlap in that group.
- What it does not show
- A single-centre study. The percentage is among patients referred with neck nerve problems, so it is not a population rate.
