Long-Term Health-Related Quality of Life Outcomes in Patients With Cellulitis Requiring Hospitalisation
Abstract
In 94 hospitalised patients with cellulitis, HRQoL was markedly impaired at admission and remained significantly below population norms at 90 days, particularly in patients with persistent pain and oedema. These findings highlight the need for post-discharge follow-up focused on symptom resolution.
