“…A history of rheumatoid arthritis has a negative correlation with DD [4,39]. There may be a common genetic pathway in the development of carpal tunnel syndrome and DD with chromosomal instability present in the palmar fascia in both of these conditions [11].…”

Dupuytren's Disease (DD) is a common, fibroproliferative disorder affecting the palmar surface of the hands which is often irreversible and progressive. Understanding the epidemiology of DD is important in order to provide clues to its etiopathogenesis. This review aims to evaluate the epidemiological studies carried out in DD since 1951. Studies evaluating the epidemiology of DD were searched using Medline, Pubmed, and Scopus which dated back from 1951 to current date. Inclusion criteria were any studies investigating the prevalence or incidence of DD in any population group. A total of 620 articles were cited. Forty-nine studies were subsequently identified as relevant to evaluating the epidemiology of DD. The prevalence of DD in all studies increased with age with a male to female ratio of approximately 5.9:1. Prevalence rates ranged from 0.2% to 56% in varying age, population groups, and methods of data collection. The highest prevalence rate was reported in a study group of epileptic patients. Although, only one study calculated the incidence (as opposed to prevalence) of DD to be equal to 34.3 per 100,000 men (0.03%). In conclusion, the prevalence of DD in different geographical locations is extremely variable, and it is not clear whether this is genetic, environmental, or a combination of both. The majority of the prevalence studies have been conducted in Scandinavia or the UK, and the vast changes in population structure, the changes in prevalence of associated diseases, and the change in diagnostic criteria of DD makes understanding the epidemiology of this condition difficult.

“…There is a statistically significant lower incidence of the condition in patients with rheumatoid arthritis than in age-and gender-matched control subjects. 107 In the Reykjavik study 108 it was suggested that the reason for a negative association with joint complaints was not clear but that genetic and immunological factors may be important. Murrell et al, 48 based on their work with oxygen free radicals, have suggested that the lower prevalence in rheumatoid disease may be due to the administration of large quantities of prostaglandin inhibitors.…”

“…First of all, only few studies mentioned that they applied sampling to select their participants. 15,23,31,35,39 However, three of these studies did not describe the method of sampling. 23,31,35 If participants are not randomly selected, this increases the risk of selection bias, and makes it thereby difficult to extrapolate data from the studies.…”

Background Dupuytren Disease (DD) is a fibroproliferative disease of palmar fascias of the hand. The prevalence of DD has been the subject of several reviews, though an accurate description of the prevalence range in the general population, and of the relation between age and DD is lacking. Methods A systematic review was performed by searching Embase and Pubmed on database specific mesh terms, and in title and abstract for "Dupuytren", "incidence", and "prevalence". Two reviewers independently assessed the papers using inclusion and exclusion criteria, and rated the included studies with a quality assessment instrument. In a meta-analysis the median prevalence, as function of age by gender, was estimated, accompanied with 95% prediction intervals. The observed heterogeneity in prevalence was investigated with respect to the quality of the study. Results Twenty-three of 199 unique identified papers were included. Number of participants ranged from 37 to 97,537, aging 18-100 years. Prevalence varied from 0.6-31.6%. The quality of studies differed, but could not explain the heterogeneity between studies. The median prevalence was estimated at 12%, 21%, and 29% at ages 55, 65, and 75 respectively, based on the relationship between age and prevalence determined from ten studies. Conclusions We have been able to describe a prevalence range of DD in the general population. Furthermore, the relationship between age and prevalence of DD is given per gender, including 95% prediction intervals. Hereby, it is possible to determine the prevalence at a certain age for the total general population, and for men and women separately.
