Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine whether the new sport concept of the Swiss Armed Forces influences the physical and psychological fitness of the recruits.
We have designed this study to determine whether performing two, compared with ≥3 operations has an effect on key clinical outcomes after discharge from the hospital of an infected wound that requires admission. Each arm of this study represents the two commonly practiced standard of care treatment plans for patients presenting with infected wounds. It is currently unknown which SoC option provides the best patient outcome.
The major aim of this project is to investigate the prevalence, recovery patterns and risk factors for health related quality of life functional, psychological, societal and economic outcome after trauma. Another aim is to validate the WHO Quality Of Life-bref (WHOQOL-Bref) questionnaire for the trauma population.
The purpose of the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Registry (HBOTR) is to provide real world patient outcome and side effect information from electronic health records submitted to a specialty specific hyperbaric registry as part of "Stage 2 of Meaningful Use," including data provided to meet PQRS requirements via the registry's QCDR mission. Goals include understanding the value of HBOT among patients treated for a variety of conditions in relation to the frequency and severity of HBOT side effects. While randomized, controlled trials can establish the efficacy of treatments like HBOT, because they routinely exclude patients with co-morbid conditions common to those patients seen in usual clinical practice, the results of RCTs are usually non-generalizable. Real world data can be used to better understand the effectiveness of HBOT among typical patients, as well as the risks associated with treatment.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of NeuroRegen scaffold with bone marrow mononuclear cells (BMMCs) or mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in patients with chronic spinal cord injury.
The objective of the protocol is to pursue the long-term follow-up of a large cohort of severe traumatic brain injury patients. This outcome is to be described in terms of activity, participation, quality of life, socio-professional outcome, economical consequences and impact on caregivers, and in relation to health care provision. Secondary objectives are to measure the impact on outcome of several predictive factors; to evaluate evolution of patients since the last (four-year) evaluation.
Discharging patients home with air leak and chest tube to portable drainage device after thoracic resection is cost effective and safe without compromising patients outcome or satisfaction. Despite good outcomes this practice is not done universally by thoracic surgeons.
