In 1999, an Utstein Template for Uniform Reporting of Data following Major Trauma was published. Few papers have since been published based on that template, reflecting a lack international consensus its feasibility and use. The aim the present revision to further develop Template, particularly with major reduction in number core data variables addition more precise definitions variables. addition, we wanted define set inclusion exclusion criteria will facilitate uniform comparison trauma...
Understanding the resilience of healthcare is critically important. A resilient system might be expected to consistently deliver high quality care, withstand disruptive events and continually adapt, learn improve. However, there are many different theories, models definitions most contested debated in literature. Clear unambiguous conceptual important for both theoretical practical considerations any phenomenon, no exception. large international research programme on Resilience Healthcare...
Background: Damage control orthopedic surgery has recently been advocated for the management of femoral shaft fractures in severely injured patients because surgical procedures were found to represent a second-hit phenomenon regarding operative burden. It attempted determine burden by means proinflammatory cytokines. In this study clinically stable with multiple injuries, effects induced different types primary fracture stabilization on systemic release cytokines evaluated. Methods: This was...
To describe the method of extraperitoneal pelvic packing (EPP), and to assess impact EPP on outcome in severely hemodynamically unstable patients after blunt trauma.Of 661 treated for trauma, 18 underwent as part our protocol with intent control massive bleeding constituted study population. Data retrospectively collected from medical records Ullevål Trauma Registry included demographics, fracture classification, additional injuries, blood transfusions, surgical interventions, angiographic...
Background: The assessment of outcome after multiple injuries in a rehabilitation perspective is increasingly important trauma research. purpose this study was to assess functioning and quality life severe using prospective cohort design. Methods: One hundred five patients with New Injury Severity Score >15, aged 18 67 years, admitted Level I center were included consecutively starting January 2002 through June 2003. Outcomes assessed 6 weeks discharge 1 2 years injury. Self-reported...
Abstract Chronic post-concussive symptoms are common after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and difficult to predict or treat. Thalamic functional integrity is particularly vulnerable in mTBI may be related long-term outcomes but requires further investigation. We compared structural MRI resting state 108 patients with a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) of 13–15 normal CT, 76 controls. examined whether acute changes thalamic connectivity were early markers for persistent explored neurochemical...
Abstract Background Ageing is associated with worse treatment outcome after traumatic brain injury (TBI). This association may lead to a self-fulfilling prophecy that affects efficacy. The aim of the current study was evaluate role bias in patient outcomes by studying intensity diagnostic procedures, treatment, and overall 30-day mortality different age groups patients TBI. Methods Included this consecutively admitted TBI, aged ≥ 15 years, cerebral CT showing intracranial signs trauma,...
Background: The assessment of factors associated with return to work (RTW) after multiple trauma is important in research. Goals rehabilitation should comprise RTW. purpose this study was examine the RTW rate and which predicted for patients severe injuries using a prospective cohort design. Methods: In all, 100 New Injury Severity Score (NISS) >15, aged 18 67 years admitted referral center, were included starting January 2002 through June 2003. Outcomes assessed 6 weeks discharge 1 2...
Thirty-day hospital readmissions represent an international challenge leading to increased prevalence of adverse events, reduced quality care and pressure on healthcare service's resources finances. There is a need for broader understanding readmissions, how they manifest, in the primary service may affect readmissions. The aim study was examine nurses nursing home leaders experienced resource situation, staffing competence level municipal services, if these factors influence...
Our aim in this study was to describe the long-term survival of native hip joint after open reduction and internal fixation a displaced fracture acetabulum. We also present clinical outcomes risk factors associated with poor outcome.A total 285 patients underwent surgery for acetabular between 1993 2005. For analysis 253 were included, there 197 men 56 women mean age 42 years (12 78). The follow-up 11 (1 20) identified from our pelvic registry. There 99 elementary 154 types. follow-up, 192...
Introduction Over the past three decades, extensive research has been undertaken to understand elements of what constitutes high quality in healthcare. Yet, much this conducted on individual and their specific challenges. Hence, goals other than understanding complex factors that comprises healthcare have privileged. This lack progress led conclusion existing approaches are not able address inherent complexity systems as characterised by a significant degree performance variability within...
Abstract Background Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a significant public health concern. Advancing age and comorbidities are associated with reduced probability of being transferred to neurotrauma centres (NTCs) from non-neurosurgical acute care trauma hospitals (ACTHs). However, the extent which these decisions reflect well-considered treatment-limiting influence other factors have on decision-making process remains unclear. Objective To increase understanding adults’ access NTC by...
Background: Intra‐articular pain prophylaxis is a controversial measure, adding costs although the benefits are still disputed. We wanted to evaluate effects of intra‐articular opioid or local anaesthesia combination two on postoperative analgesia and analgesic consumption after elective knee arthroscopy. Methods: 107 patients with little no preoperative minor surgical procedure were studied in prospective, randomized double‐blind design. The received midazolam 0.03 mg/kg intravenously...
People who have sustained severe multiple injuries reduced health and functioning years after the injury. For people injuries, an optimal degree of predictability in future health-related quality life is important. The main aim was to study impacts demographic- injury-related factors as well at 1 year 2 injury on physical mental 10 injury.Fifty-eight participants completed a 10-year follow-up (55.2% all included patients). Demographic severity characteristics were collected, assessments 1,...
Objectives To explore hospital physicians’ views on readmission and discharge processes in the interface between hospitals municipalities. Design Qualitative case study. Setting The Norwegian healthcare system. Participants Fifteen physicians (residents consultants) from one hospital, involved treatment of patients. Results results this study showed that patients were being discharged earlier, with more complex medical conditions, than they had been previously, discharges sometimes perceived...
Background The indication for acquiring angiographic embolization in the initial treatment of severe pelvic fractures is controversial. We describe characteristics and outcome 31 patients with traumatic bleeding who underwent percutaneous angiography according to a standardized protocol.Patients methods During an 8.5-year period, 1,260 were treated trauma. performed prospective registration 46 angiography, report had signs significant arterial injury on necessitating embolization.Results...
Background: The process of returning to work (RTW) after multiple injuries is lengthy. Prospective studies with follow-up times up 5 years are necessary but lacking. aim this study was describe the trajectory RTW and examine factors that predicted over for patients using a prospective cohort design.
