Abstract

Background: Failure of the physician to disclose potential risks and benefits associated with cosmetic procedures is one of the main causes of legal disputes over informed consent. The objective was to assess the prevalence and quality of the informed consent given by patients who undergone cosmetic procedures and its association with post-procedure adverse events. Methods: It was a crosssectional, online, questionnaire-based study conducted during September and October 2020. Eligible adult male and female patients who were attending a governmental dermatology clinic at Al-Kharj city (Saudi Arabia) were invited to join the study. Results: A total of 246 patients were included in the study. Out of 246, 111 (45.1%) patients performed at least one cosmetic procedure before, and 89 (80.2%) of them signed an informed consent. 62 (69.7%) of them signed a consent before the procedure, 17 (19.1%) reported post-procedure adverse events, 16 (18.0%) reported dissatisfactions, and 27 (30.3%) reported either. None of the consent characteristics were significantly associated with higher prevalence of post-procedure adverse events or non-satisfactions. Conclusions: The prevalence and the quality of informed consent before cosmetic procedures are inadequate. Urgent corrections are required to protect the patient’s rights and to legally protect the treating physician.

接受美容手术的患者知情同意的患病率和质量:一项横断面研究
背景:医生未能披露与美容手术相关的潜在风险和益处是知情同意法律纠纷的主要原因之一。目的是评估接受美容手术的患者的知情同意的发生率和质量及其与术后不良事件的关系。方法:这是一项在2020年9月和10月进行的横断面、在线、问卷调查研究。邀请在Al Kharj市(沙特阿拉伯)政府皮肤科诊所就诊的符合条件的成年男性和女性患者参加研究。结果:本研究共纳入246例患者。在246名患者中,111名(45.1%)患者之前至少进行过一次美容手术,其中89名(80.2%)患者签署了知情同意书。其中62人(69.7%)在手术前签署了同意书,17人(19.1%)报告了术后不良事件,16人(18.0%)报告不满意,27人(30.3%)报告了两者之一。没有任何同意特征与术后不良事件或不满意的发生率较高显著相关。结论:美容手术前知情同意的发生率和质量不高。需要紧急纠正,以保护患者的权利并从法律上保护治疗医生。
