ED data included participant demographics, laceration characteristics and management. A telephone survey was undertaken approximately 14\u2009days post\u2010ED discharge. Patient satisfaction with post\u2010ED pain management, advice on wound care and follow up, overall management and wound cosmesis were evaluated using a six\u2010item satisfaction scale (very dissatisfied to very satisfied).

The number (% [95% confidence interval]) of patients very satisfied with their laceration management were: post\u2010ED pain management 55 (62.5% [51.5\u201372.4]), wound care advice 51 (57.3% [46.4\u201367.6]), follow\u2010up advice 39 (43.8% [33.5\u201354.7]), overall management 61 (68.5% [57.7\u201377.7]) and cosmetic appearance 46 (51.7% [40.9\u201362.3]). Infection, dehiscence and suture failure occurred in 5 (5.6%), 8 (9.0%) and 8 (9.0%) cases, respectively. These complications were not associated with being very satisfied overall (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.96). Patients very satisfied with post\u2010ED pain management, wound care advice, follow\u2010up advice or wound cosmesis were much more likely to be very satisfied overall (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&lt;\u20090.001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Most patients are very satisfied with their laceration management.
