Modeling the cost–benefit of nerve conduction studies in pre-employment screening for carpal tunnel syndrome

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate the costs associated with pre-employment nerve conduction testing as a screening tool for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in the workplace. METHODS: We used a Markov decision analysis model to compare the costs associated with a strategy of screening all...
