Abstract | Purpose: Emergency laparotomy is associated with high morbidity for the surgical patient. Understanding patients' health-related quality of life after their surgery is important to enhance the informed consent process, and to enable the evaluation and improvement of surgical care. This review aims to summarise the use of health-related quality of life tools in clinical trials involving patients undergoing emergency laparotomy. Methods: A systematic review was undertaken of the scientific literature published in the MEDLINE Results: Eleven studies were selected for inclusion. Most of the studies had a low risk of bias. Two of the studies used health-related quality of life as the primary outcome measure. A variety of health-related quality of life measurement tools were used; the EQ-5D tool was the most popular questionnaire. Protocol adherence was dependent on the length of time which had elapsed after emergency surgery. Conclusion: There are many perceived challenges to collecting health-related quality of life data in the emergency surgery setting. Many of these can be offset with progressive trial designs. There is a need for further research in the systematic development of patient-reported outcomes for use in emergency surgery. |
