Quality of Life after Open Extremity Trauma (QUINTET) study: An international, multicentric, observational, cohort study of quality of life following lower extremity open fractures
For this study, international patient recruitment proved challenging, leading to most patients being recruited in the UK. Despite this limitation, we found a statistically significant detriment in self-reported QoL, which did not recover after a year. This study highlights differences in quality-of-life outcomes from a gender and international perspective.
