SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Months 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 6, 12 following procedure

The Brief Pain Inventory (short form, Interference scale) is an instrument specifically designed to assess pain and its impact on physical and emotional functioning \[7 questions related specifically to rib fracture pain and not other injuries\]. We calculated the total score of the 7 questions combined. The minimum is zero (no interference, better outcome) and the maximum is 70 (maximum interference, worse outcome).
