Introduction: There is a wealth of medical literature examining quantitative outcomes like mortality and procedural success for traumatic injuries; however, there is not sufficient research investigating subjective outcomes like quality of life, including physical, social, and psychological factors that contribute to patient satisfaction after injury. This information is valuable to completely understand health outcomes. We hypothesize that there will be a difference in cumulative quality of life scores for trauma patients of different age, race, mechanism of trauma, insurance status, and length of stay in the hospital.
