In this study a group of patients with uncomplicated nose fractures was followed closely from initial treatment at a large hospital in Denmark to self-reported recovery. Rapid recovery among patients aged 15-26 was found to be associated with larger household size and higher socio-economic status. Recovery time among patients aged 27-56 was not related to any of the social factors investigated in this study. | | Journal Title | Community Health Studies | | Journal Volume (Issue) | 8(2) | | Page Range | 167-171 | | Page Count | 5 | | Notes | available from CASR library on request |
