Multicenter Study[Limb necrotizing soft tissue infection (NSTI) and necrotising fasciitis: A bicentric study between 2000 and 2017 on the quality of life and functional impact].
Limb necrotising soft tissue infection and necrotising fasciitis surgical debridement results in significant soft tissue losses. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional impact and the quality of life of survivors. ⋯ We have not found a relationship between loss of joints motions and long term quality of life for those patients. High excised body surface area and high length of stay are correlated with high DLQI and thus a lower quality of life.
