Description
Background: Several epidemiological studies have found an association between shoulder-loaded work activities and specific shoulder diseases. No study has derived a dose-response relationship and the resulting doubling dose.
Objectives: The aim of this systematic review is to derive the dose-
response relationship between physical workload and lesions of the
shoulder rotator cuff. The results of this systematic review have
been published by Seidler et al. (2020).
Methods:Usingmethodsof aprevious review (vanderMolenetal.2017),
we added more recent studies. The dose-response relationship between
physical occupational demands (hands at/above shoulder level, repeti-
tive movements, forceful work, hand-arm vibrations) and specific
shoulder diseases (ICD-10 M 75.1-5: rotator cuff syndrome, bicipital
tendinitis, calcific tendinitis, impingement, and bursitis) was derived.
Findings: No evidence for sex-specific differences of the dose-
response relationship was found. If there were at least two studies
with comparable exposures, a meta-analysis was carried out. The
pooled analysis resulted in a 21% risk increase (95% CI 4-41%) per
1000 hours of work with hands above shoulder level, leading to a
doubling dose of 3636 hours. A meta-analysis was not possible for
other diseases due to the low number of studies and differing
exposure measurements. The estimate of the doubling dose was
based on Dalbøge et al. (2014).
Conclusions: This systematic review with meta-analysis contrib-
utes to knowledge of the exposure level at which specific shoulder
diseases, e.g., rotator cuff lesions, should be recognized as an
occupational disease.
