Quality of life 2–7 years after major trauma

Background: The aim of the present study was to assess potential long‐term reduction in health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) in adult trauma patients 2–7 years after discharge from an intensive care unit (ICU), and to study possible determinants of the HRQOL reduction.
