Abstract

Background

In this review, we examine the use of DAS59 and DAS24 in the scientific literature and in particular how the use of these questionnaires has improved the understanding and practice of plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Methods

A systematic review protocol was developed in accordance with the Preferred Reporting for Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analys-Protocol (PRISMA-P) guide. A multi-step search of the PubMed, MEDLINE, Embase, Premedeline, Ebase, CINAHL, PsychINFO and Cochrane databases was performed to identify studies on body image using DAS59 and DAS24.

Results

The literature review yielded 28 articles with DAS59 and 32 articles with DAS24 from peer-reviewed journals met our inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis. Since its inception in 2001, the number of publications incorporating the DAS has increased each year with a total of 3.483 patients for DAS59 and 6.012 patients for DAS24. The prospective study design was the most prevalent, being used in 50% of publications (n = 30), 57% for DAS59, 43% for DAS24. The DAS59 was administered in a cross-sectional design in 21% of studies (n = 6) and DAS24 41% (n = 13). The DAS59 was administered in a retrospective design in 18% of studies (n = 5) and DAS24 9% (n = 3). We reported only one case series for DAS59 and 2 for DAS24.

Conclusions

The DAS59 and DAS24 are versatile self-assessment tools that can be used in different medical and surgical environments.

Level of evidence: not ratable.

S3-Leitlinie „Diagnostik und Therapie des Karpaltunnelsyndroms“

Karpaltunnelsyndrom BDC Leitlinien Webinare

CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
