Abstract

Long-term surveillance of patients is necessary to ascertain the outcome of medical interventions. The rate of 'loss to follow-up' is the largest controllable variable in long-term follow-up studies. Such surveillance programmes are of particular importance to surgical interventions as differences between techniques or implants may take years to become apparent.
