This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.
The study hypothesis is that the use of running epidermal sutures in full-thickness skin graft (FTSG) placement for patients undergoing dermatologic surgery (Mohs micrographic surgery or excision) is non-inferior to the use of simple interrupted sutures with respect to cosmetic outcome. This will be a split-scar (within-person) study, in which half of each participant's scar will receive the study intervention (running epidermal sutures), with the other half receiving the control intervention (simple interrupted sutures). The primary outcome, total observer score of the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) 2.0, will be assessed by two blinded observers at a 3-month follow-up visit, and compared between scar halves.
Surgical Outcomes of Simple Interrupted Versus Running Epidermal Sutures in Full-thickness Skin Graft Placement: A Split-scar, Randomized, Non-inferiority Comparison
Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.
