Is The Visceral Adiposity Index an Indicator of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?

Journal Title: Acta Medica Ruha - Year 2023, Vol 1, Issue 2

Abstract

Introduction:Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common peripheral focal mononeuropathy caused by compression of the median nerve in thecarpal tunnel.Objective:We aimed to investigate inflammation parameters, body mass index (BMI), visceral adiposity index (VAI), and their relationship with disease severity in patients diagnosed with CTS in our study.Method:This prospective study included 147 patients with CTS and 85 healthy volunteers. We grouped the patients by CTS severity as severe, moderate, or mild based on electroneuromyography findings. We recorded demographic characteristics and the test results of complete blood count andinflammation parameters and calculated BMI and VAI for the subjects included in the study.Results:Of the patients with CTS, 78.9% were women and 26.5% had severe disease. C-reactive protein (CRP), triglycerides, the neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), waist circumference, and VAI were statistically significantly higher in the CTS group compared to the control group (p<0.05). CRP, NLR, BMI, VAI, and the proportion of obese individuals were statistically significantly higher in the severe CTS group comparedto the moderate and mild CTS groups (p<0.05).Conclusion:We showed that VAI, waist circumference, CRP, and NLR were higher in CTS patients compared to the control group. The high values of VAI and NLR in patients with CTS and severe CTS indicate that these parameters are useful markers to demonstrate the risk of developing CTS and predict prognosis.
