Factors affecting functional recovery after surgery and hand therapy in patients with Dupuytren's disease.
STUDY DESIGN Prospect i ve cohort study . INTRODUCTION The evidence of the relationship between functional recovery and impairment after surgery and h and therapy are inconsistent . PURPOSE OF THE STUDY To explore factors that were most related to functional recovery as measured by DASH in patients with Dupuytren 's disease . METHODS Eighty-one patients undergoing surgery and h and therapy were consecutively recruited .  Functional recovery was measured by the Disability of the Arm , Shoulder and H and ( DASH ) question naire . Explanatory variables : range of motion of the finger joints , five questions regarding safety and social issues of h and function , and health-related quality of life ( Euroqol ) . RESULTS The three variables " need to take special pre caution s " , " avoid using the h and in social context " , and health-related quality of life ( EQ-5D index ) explained 62.1 % of the variance in DASH , where the first variable had the greatest relative effect . DISCUSSION Safety and social issues of h and function and quality of life had an evident association with functional recovery . LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV
