We found that the overall complication rates vary widely (6% to 80%). Physician-reported complication data were collected for 236 patients, and a physician-reported complication rate of 27% was determined. A patient-reported complication rate of 21% was found for 207 patients whose patient-reported data were collected. We also noted that patients and physicians assess DRF complications differently: patients are more focused on symptoms than diagnoses. A DRF complication checklist was developed to improve prospective data collection. The checklist includes a classification for all DRF complications and allows for assessment of severity of each complication. Langue : ANGLAIS Identifiant basis : 2001218673 |
