ABSTRACT
Background:
Dupuytren contracture (DC) treatment with collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) has lower associated treatment costs than fasciectomy, but real-world, postprocedure return-to-function data are limited.Methods:
This retrospective study used a US claims database and included adults treated for DC with CCH or fasciectomy (first treatment = index date), who had continuous health plan enrollment ≥360 days preindex and ≥90 days postindex (ie, 90-day follow-up). Analgesic use and physical therapy (PT) and occupational therapy (OT) visits during the follow-up were used as surrogate markers for return-to-function.Results:
Overall, 1654 and 2745 patients were included in the CCH and fasciectomy cohorts, respectively. A significantly lower percentage of patients in the CCH versus fasciectomy cohort used opioid analgesics (32.3% vs 82.7%; P < .0001), used nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (8.6% vs 17.2%; P < .0001), or had ≥1 DC-specific PT or OT visit during follow-up (PT, 38.9% vs 45.3% [P < .0001]; OT, 32.8% vs 38.0% [P = .0006]). The mean number of DC-specific PT and OT visits (PT, 2.5 vs 6.4 [P < .0001]; OT, 1.4 vs 1.9 [P < .0001]) per patient was significantly lower in the CCH versus fasciectomy cohort.Conclusions:
This analysis using surrogate markers suggests that CCH treatment may allow earlier return-to-function than fasciectomy in adults treated for DC.Palavras-chave
