Abstract

Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a prevalent entrapment neuropathy. While nerve conduction studies (NCS) remain the gold standard for diagnosis, ultrasound (USG) offers a non-invasive alternative. This study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of USG and NCS in CTS at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin General Hospital Palembang, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted on patients presenting with CTS symptoms. Demographic and clinical data were collected. NCS and USG assessments were performed, blinded to each other's results. USG measurements included the cross-sectional area at the carpal tunnel inlet (CSAc), proximal to the carpal tunnel (CSAp), and the difference between them (∆CSA). Diagnostic accuracy was calculated, and agreement was assessed using Cohen's kappa. Results: A total of 86 wrists from 49 patients were included. The mean age was 52 ± 11 years, with a female predominance (86%). The majority had mild CTS based on NCS (55.8%). USG measurements showed mean CSAc of 13.1 ± 3.5 mm², CSAp of 10.6 ± 3.0 mm², and ∆CSA of 2.5 ± 0.9 mm². ∆CSA had the highest sensitivity (92.2%), specificity (88.9%), and accuracy (91.9%), with substantial agreement with NCS (Kappa = 0.65). Conclusion: USG, particularly using ∆CSA, demonstrates high diagnostic accuracy in CTS, comparable to NCS. It can serve as a valuable tool, especially in settings with limited NCS availability.

Abstract

Komputer telah menjadi sesuatu yang umum digunakan dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Walaupun telah menjadi hal yang umum, pengguna komputer khususnya pelajar banyak yang masih memiliki tingkat familiaritas yang rendah terhadap komputer yang digunakan. Seiring dengan misi program studi Informatika Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH) yaitu menyelenggarakan pendidikan berkualitas dan terus menerus mengikut perkembangan ilmu teknologi informatika serta untuk memenuhi salah satu dari Tri-Dharma perguruan tinggi yaitu melakukan pengabdian kepada masyarakat (PkM) maka program studi (prodi) Informatika UPH Kampus Medan bermitra dengan Sekolah Bangun Insan Mandiri (BIM) Medan menyelenggarakan PkM yang memperkenalkan komputer kepada siswa Kelas XII
