Declarations
:
: The study permit was granted (ID Number R19557) by Tays Research Service, Tampere University Hospital, Tampere, Finland, which is the legal research authority and reviews all research permit applications, regardless whether or not a study needs an Ethical Committee approval before a research permit. This study was completed in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration as revised in 2013. All data in this methodological study was collected from a retrospective cohort study that aimed to investigate outcomes after upper extremity amputation injuries, not an interventional or experimental trial. Furthermore, our study is a diagnostic study (not a clinical trial); therefore, it is not registered. Patients who were willing to participate completed the patient-reported outcome measures and a study-specific questionnaire. Written informed consent was waived by Tays Research Service, Tampere University Hospital, Tampere, Finland, because it is not needed for this type of study.
