Health-related quality of life in patients with extremity bone sarcoma after surgical treatment: a systematic review

ConclusionsThe approaches used to measure HRQoL were inconsistent and outcome scores varied substantially. Only one study used preference-weighted instruments for HRQoL measurement. Future research into the surgical treatment of extremity bone sarcoma should consider the use of preference-weighted instruments to measure HRQoL, which will therefore enable economic evaluation for the growing orthopaedic armamentarium of novel surgical interventions.RegistrationThis systematic review was registered with the PROSPERO International prospective register of systematic reviews (CRD42021282380).
