The primary aims of the ABLE Study are to identify predictors of Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) outcomes for hospitalised adult survivors of burn injuries 12-months post-burn, and to investigate how these predictors change over time from baseline to 3-, to 6-, to 12- months post-injury. The study included over 250 participants aged 18 years or over, admitted to a single state-wide burns centre in Queensland, Australia with a ‘major burn injury’. Baseline survey data were collected either in person or by telephone within 28 days of the injury and participants were followed up with in-person, or telephone interviews at 3-, 6- and 12-months post-burn. Injury and burns treatment information were collected from medical records or the hospital database and surveys collected demographic and psychosocial data.
