Cosmetic Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction After Facial Laceration Repair in the Emergency Department
Facial lacerations are commonly treated in the emergency department. The nature of the injury leads to a great deal of concern about the long-term cosmetic appearance of the wounds.
Research Questions
- What is the association between wound characteristics, wound management in the ED, patient satisfaction in the ED, and patient-rated cosmetic appearance of sutured wounds?
- Is there a difference noted among ED providers with different levels of training?
- Is there an association between initial satisfaction scores and wound outcome?
- Is there an association between short term and long term wound scores?
Design This is a non-randomized, prospective, observational study of patients who present to the ED seeking treatment for facial laceration repair.
