“…One study evaluated the effect of facial injuries in bicycle riders and demonstrated an impaired quality of life in riders that crash which have associated facial injuries. 13 We have not evaluated any quality of life effects in our patients after bicycle crashes. Because we have a large population of patients with concussion, we believe that an additional study evaluating the long-term effects of concussion would be useful.…”

“…Implications: The government aims to increase commuting by bicycles due to the associated health benefits, potential reduction in rush hour traffic jams, and environmental advantages [1] . However, the increasing number of patients with serious bicycle injuries, including TBI and CSI, should be of concern to public society and politicians alike [ 5 , 11 ]. Hence, road safety for bicyclists should receive greater attention to reach the political goal of attracting more people to use bicycles for their work commutes [27] .…”

“…Nevertheless, a steady rise in the number of more severe bicycle injuries has been observed [5] . Bicycle-related traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and spinal injuries entail a higher risk of death and permanent late effects versus injuries to other parts of the body [10] , [11] , [12] .…”

Introduction Throughout the years, a decreasing trend in mortality rate has been demonstrated in patients suffering severe trauma. This increases the relevance of documentation of other outcomes for this population, including patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), such as health-related quality of life (HRQoL). The aim of this review was to summarize the results of the studies that have been conducted regarding HRQoL in severely injured patients (as defined by the articles’ authors). Also, we present the instruments that are used most frequently to assess HRQoL in patients suffering severe trauma. Methods A literature search was conducted in the Cochrane Library, EMBASE, PubMed, and Web of Science for articles published from inception until the 1st of January 2022. Reference lists of included articles were reviewed as well. Studies were considered eligible when a population of patients with major, multiple or severe injury and/or polytrauma was included, well-defined by means of an ISS-threshold, and the outcome of interest was described in terms of (HR)QoL. A narrative design was chosen for this review. Results The search strategy identified 1583 articles, which were reduced to 113 after application of the eligibility criteria. In total, nineteen instruments were used to assess HRQoL. The SF-36 was used most frequently, followed by the EQ-5D and SF-12. HRQoL in patients with severe trauma was often compared to normative population norms or pre-injury status, and was found to be reduced in both cases, regardless of the tool used to assess this outcome. Some studies demonstrated higher scoring of the patients over time, suggesting improved HRQoL after considerable time after severe trauma. Conclusion HRQoL in severely injured patients is overall reduced, regardless of the instrument used to assess it. The instruments that were used most frequently to assess HRQoL were the SF-36 and EQ-5D. Future research is needed to shed light on the consequences of the reduced HRQoL in this population. We recommend routine assessment and documentation of HRQoL in severely injured patients.
