Description
Summary:To study the frequency of multiple vascular risk factors and electrophysiological severity of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in Saudi diabetic patients. This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted in Neurology Department, King Fahd Hospital of University, Al-Khobar, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from April 2017 to March 2018 and included 200 patients with CTS. Body parameters, such as blood pressure (BP), weight, height, and body mass index (BMI), along with laboratory and median nerve electrophysiological parameters, of diabetic and non-diabetic patients were compared, and a p-value
