HRQoL

摘要

Curious? HRQoL = Health-Related Quality of Life. Why should that be relevant to injuries in mining or caringfor injured miners years after serious injury? Injuries in mining are rare. Mining experiences even fewer disabling injuries. Comfort comes from the low number of injuries. Serious discomfort should come from the information in "Outcome and quality of life 5 years after major trauma," an article from The Journal of Trauma Injury, Infection and Critical Care about the life experience of seriously injured people in the general population, not only the 10 percent of workers injured in occupational settings.
