Abstract
Fluoroquinolone-induced peripheral neuropathies and tendinopathies are well documented, but there are no epidemiologic studies on the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). We conducted a case-control study of >6 million patients. Fluoroquinolone use is associated with increased risk of CTS (rate ratio, 1.34 [95% confidence interval, 1.31-1.37]).
