XXXX in @entity8494 : A Comparative Study.

@entity1 @entity130 @entity8494 @entity1005
AIM: The aim of the study was to identify the presence of @entity1005 ( @entity1005 ) in @entity1 who had sustained @entity8494 , additionally, we aimed to identify other variables that may modify the psychological response to @entity130 that include gender, age and presence of disfigurement post-treatment and visible scars/orthopedic injuries. MATERIALS AND METHODS: @entity1 comprised of 460 @entity1 from several multinodal @entity130 centers in Bengaluru City, Karnataka, who had sustained @entity8494 that had healed either with or without significant disfigurement or scarring and with visible/orthopedic injuries. One hundred and eleven @entity1 of the chosen 460 had sustained nondisfiguring @entity8494 while 153 @entity1 sustained disfiguring @entity8494 , 64 @entity1 who sustained @entity8494 (i.e. 19.5%) were lost to follow-up and were not included in the study. One hundred and thirty-two had sustained orthopedic/visible injuries; however, in this group, 18 (i.e. 13.6%) @entity1 were lost to follow-up and were excluded from the study. The impact of events scale (IES) was used to check the presence of @entity1005 . RESULTS: Statistically significant higher means of IES were present in @entity1 with disfiguring @entity8494 compared to nondisfiguring @entity8494 , female @entity1 compared to male @entity1 , @entity1 with disfiguring @entity8494 compared to orthopedic/visible injuries and @entity1 who were younger than 50 years of age compared to @entity1 who were older than 50 years of age and the results observed were similar at all three study intervals (date of discharge (DOD), 1 month and 6 months postoperatively). CONCLUSION: @entity1 with disfiguring @entity8494 had significantly higher @entity1005 levels compared to @entity1 with nondisfiguring @entity8494 , @entity1 with orthopedic/visible injuries had statistically significant lower IES scores which could not be strictly termed @entity1005 when compared to @entity1 with disfiguring @entity8494 who had high scores of IES corresponding to high levels of @entity1005 and these results were observed at all three study intervals (DOD, 1 and 6 months postoperatively). Female @entity1 with disfiguring @entity8494 had significantly higher @entity1005 levels compared to male @entity1 (at all the study intervals) and @entity1 younger than 50 years of age had significantly higher @entity1005 levels compared to older @entity1 .
