Clinical Utility of Boston-CTS and Six-Item CTS Questionnaires in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Associated with Diabetic Polyneuropathy
Diabetic polyneuropathy (DPN) is the most frequent complication of diabetes. Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), one of the most common neuropathies, is a chronic compression of the median nerve at the wrist. In our prospective cross-sectional study, we enrolled patients with type 2 diabetes presenting with signs and symptoms suggestive of DPN (n = 53). We aimed to compare two clinical scales: the Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Questionnaire (BCTQ) and the six-item CTS symptoms scale (CTS-6), with nerve conduction studies (NCS) for detecting CTS in patients with DPN. Carpal tunnel syndrome and DPN were clinically evaluated, and the diagnosis was confirmed by NCS. Depending on the NCS parameters, the study group was divided into patients with and without DPN. For each group, we selected patients with CTS confirmed through NCS, and the results were compared with the BCTQ and CTS-6 scales. The clinical evaluation of CTS performed through BCTQ and CTS-6 was statistically significantly different between patients with and without CTS. When comparing the BCTQ questionnaire with the NCS tests, we found area under the curve (AUC) = 0.76 (95% CI 0.65-0.86) in patients with neuropathy and AUC = 0.72 (95% CI 0.55-0.88) in patients without neuropathy. At the same time, the AUC values of the CTS-6 scale were 0.76 (95% CI 0.61-0.88) in patients with neuropathy and 0.70 (95% CI 0.51-0.86) in patients without neuropathy. Using multiple logistic regression, we demonstrated that DPN increased the chances of detecting CTS using the two questionnaires. The Boston Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and CTS-6 questionnaires can be used in the diagnosis of CTS in diabetic patients with and without DPN but with moderate AUC. The presence of DPN increased the chances of detecting CTS using the BCTQ questionnaire and the CTS-6 scale.
