INTRODUCTION
Fibrosis is characterized by dysregulation and accumulation of extracellular matrix. Peyronie's disease and Dupuytren disease are fibroproliferative disorders of the tunica albuginea of the penis and fascia of the hand, respectively. Chronic hyperglycaemia due to diabetes mellitus can also lead to tissue injury and fibrosis. A meta-analysis has shown a relationship between Dupuytren disease and diabetes (overall odds ratio, 3.1; 95% confidence interval, 2.7-3.5). This review explores commonalities in the pathogenesis of Peyronie's disease, Dupuytren disease and diabetes.
METHODS
A search of the PubMed database was conducted using the search terms "diabetes" AND "Peyronie's disease"; and "diabetes" AND "Dupuytren."
RESULTS
Genome-wide association and gene expression studies conducted with tissue from people with Peyronie's disease or Dupuytren disease identified signalling pathways associated with wingless-type mammary-tumour virus integration site signalling, extracellular matrix modulation and inflammation. Biochemical studies confirmed the importance of these pathways in the pathogenesis of fibrosis with Peyronie's disease and Dupuytren disease. Dysregulation of matrix metalloproteinase activity associated with extracellular matrix breakdown was implicated in fibroproliferative complications of diabetes and in the aetiology of Peyronie's disease and Dupuytren disease. A notable percentage of people with diabetes have comorbid Peyronie's disease and/or Dupuytren disease.
CONCLUSIONS
Studies have not been performed to identify fibroproliferative pathways that all 3 conditions might have in common, but data suggest that common pathways are involved in the fibroproliferative processes of Peyronie's disease, Dupuytren disease, and diabetes.

BACKGROUND
Dupuytren's disease is a common complex disease caused by genetic and nongenetic factors. The role of many nongenetic risk factors is still unclear and debatable. This study aimed to systematically review the association between Dupuytren's disease and nongenetic risk factors.
METHODS
A search strategy was developed based on the Population, Exposure, Comparison, Outcomes and Study framework. A Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-compliant literature search was conducted in MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials from inception to November of 2018. Title and abstract and then full-text screening against eligibility criteria was performed independently by two reviewers, and consensus was achieved by a third reviewer. The Effective Public Health Practice Project and the Oxford Centre for Evidence Based Medicine tools were used to assess study quality and to evaluate the level of evidence of included studies, respectively.
RESULTS
Reviewers identified 4434 studies, of which 54 were included in the analysis. There was strong evidence for the association between Dupuytren's disease and advanced age, male sex, family history of Dupuytren's disease, and diabetes mellitus. Furthermore, heavy alcohol drinking, cigarette smoking, and manual work exposure showed a significant dose-response relationship. The quality of the included studies was mainly low or moderate, and most studies were level 3 or 4 on the Oxford Centre for Evidence Based Medicine scale.
CONCLUSIONS
The study results show a strong association between Dupuytren's disease and advanced age, male sex, family history of Dupuytren's disease, diabetes mellitus, heavy alcohol drinking, cigarette smoking, and manual work exposure. Further studies are required to explain the causal relationship of these associations.

The purpose of this study was to review and compare clinical outcomes between percutaneous needle fasciotomy (PNF) and collagenase (CCH) injection for the treatment of Dupuytren's contracture. A systematic review was performed including all level I-III evidence studies investigating the clinical outcomes of PNF and CCH injection in the treatment of Dupuytren's contracture. Five studies (278 CCH patients, 225 PNF patients; 285 CCH fingers, 246 PNF fingers, 405 males, and 98 females) were analyzed. Two randomized studies were level I evidence, one randomized study was level II, and two nonrandomized studies were level III. Two studies analyzed a total of 205 patients, each demonstrating statistically superior outcomes in one outcome measure (contracture improvement and Michigan Hand Questionnaire (MHQ) satisfaction subscore) with PNF, while the remaining three studies demonstrated no significant differences in outcomes between the two techniques. Three studies reported a statistically higher rate of minor complications (local pain, edema, ecchymosis, lymphadenopathy, pruritis) with CCH, while the remaining two studies demonstrated no significant difference in complication rates. For the treatment of Dupuytren's contracture, there is some evidence that suggests superior clinical outcomes of PNF compared with CCH and a higher minor complication rate with CCH.

Meta-Analysis
BACKGROUND
The Dupuytren disease is a benign fibroproliferative disorder that leads to the formation of the collagen knots and fibres in the palmar fascia. The previous studies reveal different levels of Dupuytren's prevalence worldwide; hence, this study uses meta-analysis to approximate the prevalence of Dupuytren globally.
METHODS
In this study, systematic review and meta-analysis have been conducted on the previous studies focused on the prevalence of the Dupuytren disease. The search keywords were Prevalence, Prevalent, Epidemiology, Dupuytren Contracture, Dupuytren and Incidence. Subsequently, SID, MagIran, ScienceDirect, Embase, Scopus, PubMed and Web of Science databases and Google Scholar search engine were searched without a lower time limit and until June 2020. In order to analyse reliable studies, the stochastic effects model was used and the I index was applied to test the heterogeneity of the selected studies. Data analysis was performed within the Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software version 2.0.
RESULTS
By evaluating 85 studies (10 in Asia, 56 in Europe, 2 in Africa and 17 studies in America) with a total sample size of 6628506 individuals, the prevalence of Dupuytren disease in the world is found as 8.2% (95% CI 5.7-11.7%). The highest prevalence rate is reported in Africa with 17.2% (95% CI 13-22.3%). According to the subgroup analysis, in terms of underlying diseases, the highest prevalence was obtained in patients with type 1 diabetes with 34.1% (95% CI 25-44.6%). The results of meta-regression revealed a decreasing trend in the prevalence of Dupuytren disease by increasing the sample size and the research year (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION
The results of this study show that the prevalence of Dupuytren disease is particularly higher in alcoholic patients with diabetes. Therefore, the officials of the World Health Organization should design measures for the prevention and treatment of this disease.

Review
Autologous fat grafting (AFG) has traditionally been used for facial rejuvenation and soft tissue augmentation, but in recent years, its use has expanded to treat diseases of the hand. Autologous fat grafting is ideal for use in the hand because it is minimally invasive, can restore volume, and has regenerative capabilities. This review summarizes the emerging evidence regarding the safety and efficacy of AFG to the hand in several conditions, including systemic sclerosis, Dupuytren disease, osteoarthritis, burns, and traumatic fingertip injuries. A Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-compliant literature search on the use of AFG in hand pathologies was performed on October 8, 2020, in Ovid MEDLINE, Elsevier Embase, Clarivate Web of Science, and Wiley Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials. The retrieved hits were screened and reviewed by 2 independent reviewers and a third reviewer adjudicated when required. Reviewers identified 919 unique hits. Screening of the abstracts identified 22 manuscripts which described the use of AFG to treat an identified hand condition. Studies suggest AFG in the hands is a safe, noninvasive option for the management of systemic sclerosis, Dupuytren contracture, osteoarthritis, burns, and traumatic fingertip injuries. While AFG is a promising therapeutic option for autoimmune, inflammatory, and fibrotic disease manifestations in the hand, further studies are warranted to understand its efficacy and to establish more robust clinical guidelines. Studies to date show the regenerative, immunomodulatory, and volume-filling properties of AFG that facilitate wound healing and restoration of hand function with limited complications.

BACKGROUND
The factors typically considered to be associated with Dupuytren disease have been described, such as those in the "Dupuytren diathesis." However, the quality of studies describing them has not been appraised. This systematic review aimed to analyze the evidence for all factors investigated for potential association with the development, progression, outcome of treatment, or recurrence of Dupuytren disease.
METHODS
A systematic review of the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, Embase, and Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature databases was conducted using a Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses-compliant methodology up to September of 2019. Articles were screened in duplicate. Prognostic studies were quality assessed using the Quality in Prognosis Study tool.
RESULTS
This study identified 2301 records; 51 met full inclusion criteria reporting data related to 54,491 patients with Dupuytren disease. In total, 46 candidate factors associated with the development of Dupuytren disease were identified. There was inconsistent evidence between the association of Dupuytren disease and the presence of "classic" diathesis factors. The quality of included studies varied, and the generalizability of studies was low. There was little evidence describing the factors associated with functional outcome.
CONCLUSIONS
This systematic review challenges conventional notions of diathesis factors. Traditional diathesis factors are associated with disease development and recurrence, although they are not significantly associated with poor outcome following intervention based on the current evidence.

Meta-Analysis Review
Collagenase clostridium histolyticum injection versus limited fasciectomy for the treatment of Dupuytren's disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis of comparative studies.
INTRODUCTION
The aim of the present study is to systematically review the literature on well-selected comparative studies for meta-analysis on outcome differences between collagenase clostridium histolyticum (CCH) injection and limited fasciectomy (LF) for Dupuytren's disease.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
PubMed/Medline, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were searched for comparative studies assessing differences in outcomes of CCH and LF. Effect estimates were pooled across studies using random effects models and presented as weighted mean difference (MD) and odds ratio (OR) with corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI).
RESULTS
A total of 11 studies encompassing 1'051 patients was included (619 patients in the CCH and 432 in the LF group). The residual contracture at a minimal average follow-up of three months was higher in the CCH group than in the LF group (27.8 vs. 16.2°, MD 11.6°, 95% CI [8.7, 14.5°], p < 0.001). The recurrence rate was significantly higher in the CCH group (25.8 vs. 9.3%, OR 5.2, 95% CI [1.5, 18.8], p = 0.01) while the rate of severe complications was significantly higher in the LF group (0.3 vs. 7.3%, OR 0.12, 95% CI [0.03, 0.42], p = 0.001).
CONCLUSIONS
Evidence of the present study confirms that CCH injection has a higher rate of disease recurrence whereas LF carries a higher risk for severe complications. It's imperative that the trade-off between these aspects is considered, keeping in mind that CCH injections may be repeated in case of disease recurrence without increasing procedure related risks, especially in complex cases.

INTRODUCTION
Numerous complications are reported following interventions for Dupuytren's contracture; however, their incidence, management, and outcomes remain poorly reported. The aims of this review were to report the proportions of complications, compare likelihood of complications between interventions, and evaluate reporting of complications, including assessment, grading, management, and subsequent reporting of their impact on patient outcomes.
METHODS
Extracted data included patient demographics, intervention details, complications, their management, and final outcomes. Analysis of descriptive data enabled review of complications reporting. Meta-analysis(MA) of non-comparative datasets enabled estimation of proportions of patients experiencing complications. Network meta-analysis(NMA) of comparative studies estimated the relative occurrence of complications between interventions. Risk of bias analysis was performed.
RESULTS
26 studies, comprising 10,831 patients, were included. Interventions included collagenase injection, percutaneous needle fasciotomy(PNF), limited fasciectomy(LF), open fasciotomy(OF), and dermofasciectomy(DF). Overall quality and consistency of outcomes reporting was poor. MA enabled estimates of probabilities for three common complications(infection, nerve injury, complex regional pain syndrome(CRPS)) across all interventions; the reported rates for LF were 4.5% for infection, 3% for nerve injury, and 3.3% for CRPS. As the commonest intervention, LF was used as the reference intervention for comparison of the commonest complications via NMA, including haematoma [OF OR 0.450(0.277, 0.695); PNF OR 0.245(0.114, 0.457)], infection [PNF OR 0.2(0.0287, 0.690); DF OR 2.02(1.02, 3.74)], and neuropraxia [PNF OR 0.0926(0.00553, 0.737)]. We noted that the complication incidence was higher the more invasive the intervention.
CONCLUSIONS
There was limited reporting of complication occurrence, management, and outcomes following interventions, contributing to a gap in information for informed patient consent. MA was possible for reporting of proportions for infection, nerve injury, and CRPS across interventions. NMA enabled direct comparison of the six commonest complications between interventions. These findings can guide intervention selection. Improving consistency and quality in complications reporting is essential to aid counselling of patients regarding the true rates and consequences of the risks of interventions.

Dorsal lesions in Dupuytren's disease are rare and data concerning their epidemiology and management are sparse. We conducted a systematic review to summarize reported cases of dorsal Dupuytren's disease. Pubmed, Cochrane, and Embase databases were searched from 1893 to 2018, and 17 articles were selected (525 patients). The male to female ratio was 3.8:1. The dorsal disease was bilateral in 225 patients (50%). The index was the most commonly affected finger (48 patients). The proximal interphalangeal joint was the most commonly affected (484 cases). The most frequently reported lesions were knuckle pads (503 patients), dorsal nodules between interphalangeal joints (14 patients), boutonnière deformities (12 patients), and swan-neck deformities (2 patients). Nearly half of the included patients were treated surgically. Postoperative functional result depended on the treated lesion. Most of the included studies had a low level of evidence. Higher-quality studies are necessary to confirm our findings.

BACKGROUND
Functional impairments related to Dupuytren's disease (DD) can be assessed using patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). A systematic review was published in 2013 on outcome measures for assessing treatment in individuals with DD; however, several articles have since been published on this matter.
PURPOSE
To conduct a systematic review to analyze the quality and content of the evidence on the psychometric properties of PROMs used in individuals with DD.
STUDY DESIGN
Systematic review.
METHODS
CINAHL, EBM reviews, Embase, Medline, and Web of Science were searched to identify studies evaluating the psychometric properties of PROMs used with individuals with DD. All studies retained were appraised by two independent assessors using two validated critical appraisal tools.
RESULTS
Fifteen articles on the psychometric properties of 10 PROMs were included. Construct validity and responsiveness were the most studied. Eighty percent of the studies were of good to very good methodological quality according to MacDermid's Critical appraisal checklist for psychometric articles, whereas 67% of the studies comported risks of bias according to the COSMIN checklist. Of the 10 PROMs, three were specifically developed for DD but remain mostly under-studied for their psychometric properties (≤ 2 studies for the SDSS and DIF-CHUM). The QuickDASH, MHQ, BriefMHQ, and URAM present moderate to good convergent validity. Test-retest reliability was found to be good for the MHQ, briefMHQ, URAM, SDSS, SF-36, and the multi-attribute of the HUI-3. The MHQ and BriefMHQ are highly responsive.
CONCLUSION
There is a need for more psychometric studies on the PROMs used with individuals with DD. However, to date, the results included in this systematic review support that the MHQ and briefMHQ are the PROMs with the most acceptable psychometric properties.
