Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
The main study parameter will be the response rate in the patient group contacted using the normal recruitment strategy and in the patient group contacted using the optimized recruitment strategy. Response rates will be calculated for both the total groups and for subgroups of patients, as far as possible.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Secundary paramters are: - Data on socio demographic (age, gender, education, ethnicity) and burn characteristics (etiology, setting (home, work, else), firework (yes/no), body region, extent of the burn), and comorbidity - Both generic and burn specific quality of life - Data on post-traumatic stress symptoms will be assessed using the Impact of Event Scale - Data on patients extramural medical costs and indirect costs (productivity loss, absenteeism) will be collected 2 and 6 months post injury, using a questionnaire Costs and medical consumption	—
