Thoracic trauma accounts for 25–50% of posttraumatic mortality. Data on epidemiology of thoracic trauma in Scandinavia and risk factors for mortality are scarce. This study aims to provide an overview of epidemiology, clinical events and risk factors for mortality of patients with severe thoracic injuries. A retrospective study including adult thoracic trauma patients with abbreviated injury scale...... hiện toàn bộ
The impact of body mass index and gender on the development of infectious complications in polytrauma patientsEuropean Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery - Tập 40 - Trang 573-579 - 2013

The aim was to test the impact of body mass index (BMI) and gender on infectious complications after polytrauma. A total of 651 patients were included in this retrospective study, with an Injury Severity Score (ISS) ≥16 and age ≥16 years. The sample was subdivided into three groups: BMI <25 kg/m2, BMI 25–30 kg/m2, and BMI >30 kg/m2, and a female and a male group. Infectious complications were obse...... hiện toàn bộ
Risk factors of second ventilator-associated pneumonia in trauma patients: a retrospective cohort studyEuropean Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery - Tập 49 - Trang 1981-1988 - 2023

Ventilator acquired pneumonia (VAP) is a frequent and serious complication in ICU. Second episodes of VAP are common in trauma patients and may be related to severity of underlying conditions, treatment or bacterial factors of the first VAP. The aim of this study was to identify risk factors of second VAP episodes in trauma injured patients (defined as the development of a new pulmonary infection ...... hiện toàn bộ
Coronary artery calcification detected by initial polytrauma CT in severely injured patients: retrospective single-center cohort studyEuropean Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery - - 2024

Coronary artery calcifications detected by computed tomography (CT) provide prognostic relevance for vascular disorders and coronary heart disease, whereas their prognostic relevance in severely injured trauma patients remains unclear. All consecutive trauma patients requiring emergency tracheal intubation before initial CT at a level-1 trauma center and admission to the intensive care unit (ICU) ...... hiện toàn bộ
Development and first application testing of a new protocol for CT-based stability evaluation of the injured upper cervical spineEuropean Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery - Tập 48 - Trang 1389-1399 - 2021

For trauma surgeons, the evaluation of the stability of the upper cervical spine may be demanding. The aim of this study was to develop a protocol for decision-making on upper cervical spine stability in trauma patients based on established parameters obtained by CT imaging as well as testing the protocol by having it applied by trauma surgeons. A structured literature search on upper cervical spi...... hiện toàn bộ
Process times of severely injured patients in the emergency room are associated with patient volume: a registry-based analysisEuropean Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery - Tập 48 - Trang 4615-4622 - 2022
Rolf Lefering, Christian Waydhas
Hospitals involved in the care of severely injured patients treat a varying number of such cases per year. Large hospitals were expected to show a better performance regarding process times in the emergency room. The present investigation analyzed whether this assumption was true, based on a large national trauma registry. A total of 129,193 severely injured patients admitted primarily to one of 6...... hiện toàn bộ
Plate fixation of the anterior pelvic ring in patients with fragility fractures of the pelvisEuropean Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery - - 2022
Michiel Herteleer, Mehdi Boudissa, Alexander Hofmann, Daniel Wagner, Pol Maria Rommens
AbstractIntroductionIn fragility fractures of the pelvis (FFP), fractures of the posterior pelvic ring are nearly always combined with fractures of the anterior pelvic ring. When a surgical stabilization of the posterior pelvis is performed, a stabilization of the anterior pelvis is recommended as well. In this study, we aim at fi...... hiện toàn bộ
