Health-related quality of life outcomes and recovery trajectories following burn injury

Key Points

Survivors experience ongoing recovery challenges within the first 12 months post-burn injury, affecting their health-related quality of life.
The findings indicate that assiduous monitoring may help identify patients at risk of poorer recovery outcomes.
Assessment of recovery trajectories allows for tailored rehabilitation plans that can optimize care for burn survivors.
Identifying challenges at different recovery stages may enable healthcare providers to enhance patient outcomes effectively.

Abstract

The current findings highlight that regardless of burn severity, survivors can still experience challenges with their recovery throughout the first 12 months following injury. These findings may help healthcare practitioners identify patients at risk of poorer outcomes, allowing for personalised recovery and rehabilitation plans to be designed and implemented to optimise care and return to function.
