- Abstract
Objectives: To systematically summarize predictors influencing Achilles tendon rupture risk. Methods: Studies were eligible if there was: (1) Description of determinants predicting Achilles tendon rupture;(2) An outcome defined as Achilles tendon rupture;(3) Any study design with at least 10 adults included with Achilles tendon rupture;(4) Use of statistical tests regarding differences between patients with an Achilles tendon rupture and healthy controls;(5) A full text article available;(6) An article written in English, German or Dutch. Quality assessment was done using a standardized criteria set. Best-evidence synthesis was performed. Results: We included 31 studies, of which 2 (6,5%) were considered as high-quality studies. Conclusion: Moderate evidence is found that decreased tendon fibril size increases the Achilles tendon rupture risk. There is limited evidence for the modifiable factors increased body weight, oral corticosteroid use and quinolone use and living in an urban area and therefore those may be of interest in future studies.
