Return to work after injury in Hong Kong: prospective multi-center cohort study.

Purpose: Trauma remains a major cause of morbidity and disability worldwide; however, reliable data on the health status of an urban Asian population after injury are scarce. The aim was to evaluate 1-year post-trauma return to work (RTW) status in Hong Kong.

Methods: This was a prospective, multi-center cohort study involving four regional trauma centers from 2017 to 2019 in Hong Kong.
