摘要
AIM:To examine the frequency and prevention of musculoskeletal pain in Japanese gastrointestinal endoscopists and non-endoscopist physicians.METHODS:Questionnaires were sent to 275 endoscopists and 173 non-endoscopists working in Hiroshima University Hospital and its affiliated hospitals.RESULTS:The completed questionnaires were returned by 190(69%)endoscopists and 120(69%)non-endoscopists.The frequency of pain in the hand and wrist,and especially the left thumb,was significantly higher in endoscopists than in non-endoscopists(17%vs 6%,P=0.004).Using multivariate analysis,the only significant factor associated with this pain was the age of the endoscopist(odds ratio 2.77,95%confidence interval,1.23-6.71,P=0.018).Interestingly,endoscopists had made significantly fewer modifications to their endoscopic practices than non-endoscopists(12%vs 33%,P <0.0001)to prevent pain.CONCLUSION:Pain in the hand and wrist may be endoscopy-related.However,endoscopists made little modifications in practice to prevent such pain.More attention to prevention appears necessary.
