Problemas músculo-esqueléticos en patólogos españoles. Prevalencia y factores de riesgo

Pathologists are physicians who specialize in the morphological diagnosis of diseases through the study of cytotissular samples, for which they use, among other things, the optical microscope. This has been associated with musculoskeletal complaints. In order to determine the prevalence of these in pathologists working in Spain, an anonymous online questionnaire was sent to members of the Spanish Society of Pathology. Questions about visual defects and digital pathology were also included. A total of 557 pathologists completed the survey. Results are described and discussed.
