OCTS

Outcomes following Chest Trauma Score

OCTS


OCTS is a project designed to look at patient outcomes following rib fractures. The purpose is to trial a new PROM (Patient reported outcome measures) for patients who have suffered broken ribs from chest trauma – this will take the form of a questionnaire immediately post injury, at 90 days and at 104 days. This will help to identify the issues that are important to patients during the recovery from rib fractures, and will therefore allow for improved patient care and experience in the future.
