Assessment of quality-of-life in patients with face-and-neck burns: The Burn-Specific Health Scale for Face and Neck (BSHS-FN)

摘要

Introduction: Burns to the cephalic extremities are particularly implicated in problems of self-image and alterations to personal social relations. The aim of this study was to objectively assess the quality-of-life (QoL) of patients suffering from face-and-neck burns through our newly created scale: The Burn-Specific Health Scale for Face and Neck (BSHS-FN).
