The reliability of patient recall of hospital readmission following orthopaedic trauma

Abstract

Accuracy of patient recall of information is integral to the success of clinical registries, trials and doctor-patient interaction. Inaccurate or unreliable patient reporting of information has the potential to impact on the validity of research and clinical findings. The objective was to determine the level of agreement between patient recall of readmission to hospital in a population of orthopaedic trauma patients. Language: en
