Type | Measure | Description | Time frame | Safety issue |
---|---|---|---|---|
Primary | Patient satisfaction with wound appearance immediately after surgery in control vs. intervention groups as assessed by the Modified Skin Cancer Index questionnaire | Whether the wound appearance is as expected, worse than expected, or better than expected immediately after surgery in control vs. intervention groups. We will administer the Modified Skin Cancer Index questionnaire to determine patient satisfaction with their wound appearance and compare satisfaction between control and intervention groups. | At time of surgery | |
Secondary | Patient factors associated with satisfaction with wound appearance as assessed by Modified Skin Cancer Index questionnaire | We will collect information from the patient chart (including demographic factors, medical comorbidities, wound characteristics) to correlate these factors with patient satisfaction with their wound appearance | Up to 4 weeks after surgery |
