Longitudinal modeling of health-related quality of life trajectories over 12 months following road trauma
Clinicians should assess and address patients' recovery expectations early in the care process, as these may significantly influence long-term HRQoL outcomes. Incorporating strategies to support realistic yet positive expectations, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, structured patient education, and goal-setting programs, may improve recovery experiences. In addition, identifying patients with high pain, or specific injury types may help target early interventions to those at risk of poor HRQoL trajectories.
