A Health-related quality of life (SF-36) in patients with traumatic hand injury compared to normal values and B - Health-related quality of life (SF-36) in patients with HAVS compared to normal values. A: Mean deviation from norms (95% CI) for patients with a traumatic hand injury with normal (n = 47) and abnormal (n = 39) CISS scores. Patients with abnormal CISS scores had significantly larger mean deviations from norms than patients with normal CISS scores in the subscales; Physical Functioning p = 0.041, Role Physical p = 0.003 and Bodily Pain p = 0.001, indicating poorer health-related quality of life. Normative data with comparable gender and age distribution and was distributed by the Health Related Quality of Life group in Gothenburg, Sweden http://www.hrql.se. B: Mean deviation from norms (95% CI) for patients with HAVS with normal (n = 7) and abnormal (n = 21) CISS scores. Patients with abnormal CISS scores had significantly larger mean deviations from norms than patients with normal CISS scores in the subscales; Role Physical p = 0.036, Bodily Pain p = 0.006, Vitality p = 0.03 and Mental Health p = 0.048, indicating poorer health-related quality of life. Normative data with comparable gender and age distribution and was distributed by the Health Related Quality of Life group in Gothenburg, Sweden http://www.hrql.se.
