Filter by:In Spain, major trauma continues to be the leading cause of death among young people. However, mortality rates represent only a relatively small part of the impact of trauma injuries on the health of the population. Pain and anxiety are two of the most poorly controlled factors that have a huge impact on a patient's quality of life.The type of therapy that has been shown to be most effective in treating post-traumatic pain is one that involves different specialists, given its multicausality, care should be multidisciplinary. This investigation project consists in an observational study performed by a multidisciplinary team in our center. Major trauma patients with moderate, severe or incapacitating pain will be referred to consultations specialized in chronic pain and psychology. One year after the trauma, patients will be evaluated in terms of quality of life. The aim of this study is to determinate the impact that multidisciplinary treatment of post-traumatic pain has on the perception of quality of life in severely injured patients.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the validity of PROMS after reconstructive surgery or amputation in the leg region. In this context, the German version of the LIMB-Q, a questionnaire-based "Patient-reported outcome measurement" (PROM), will be validated for the German-speaking region and any necessary cultural adaptations will be made for the future use of the questionnaire. In addition, the aim is to establish a context between the LIMB-Q as a PROM and clinical outcome measurements (Maryland Foot Score, American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society Score).
You are invited to participate in a research study involving a new program designed to support people with navigating the changes that can happen after difficult life events. The program activities are aimed at helping you move forward and raise your well-being after experiencing one of life's challenges. This study should not be considered an alternative to any treatment or medication for any disorder or problem.
Scoring systems (SOFA, APACHE-II etc.) are used to estimate the mortality rates of patients treated in the intensive care unit. . In the scoring systems used, the disfunction level of the organs of the patients is measured. Blood gas analysis is routinely performed in patients whom intubated in the intensive care unit and receiving mechanical ventilation support, and the patient's treatment is optimized according to the results of the examination. The patient's mechanical ventilation settings are regulated by analyzing the Partial Arterial Carbondioxide (paCO2) value in the patient's blood gas result. The difference between the paCO2 value in the blood gas and the End-tidal Carbondioxide (EtCO2) value measured in the mechanical ventilator is 3-5mmHg in normal healthy people, while this difference is seen more in critical care patients. In critically ill patients in the intensive care unit, there is a greater increase in the difference between paCO2 and ETCO2 in cases where mortality is high, such as global perfusion disorder, shock situations, and massive pulmonary embolism, etc. In this study, it was planned to investigate the use of the difference between the paCO2 value in the blood gas taken from the patient and the ETCO2 value measured in the mechanical ventilator to predict the mortality rate of the patient.
This study will attempt to determine if there is a statistic difference between the time to union, non-union rate and post-operative pain of patients who receive opioids for pain control vs. patients who receive NSAIDs and a reduced dosage of opioids for pain management
Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a leading cause of death worldwide and patient outcome vary substantially throughout regions suggesting further evaluation and potential for improvement.When focussing on subgroups of OHCA, data in certain areas remains scarce and the need of revised guidelines is evident. Furthermore, enhanced knowledge on these varieties of OHCA's apply to substantial number of patients, also among vulnerable populations. The Danish Emergency Medical System introduced a nationwide registry of electronic medical reports in 2016. This report system allows electronic searches and thereby the opportunity to identify subgroups of OHCA's. Thus, this novel reporting enables the evaluation of new characteristics of cardiac arrests of non-cardiac origin, in cases where an automated external defibrillator (AED) is retrieved but did not recommend defibrillation and finally in OHCA related to foreign body obstruction. With the advantages of artificial intelligence, this project will enhance and strengthen data from the Danish Cardiac Arrest Registry. It may substitute the manual validation of the around 9000 cases per year in Denmark. Further, it proposes improvement of quality and development of observational health research.
This study evaluates data from patients in The Danish Medical Service electronical registry over a 6-year period from 2016 to 2021 with traumatic cardiac arrest. The objective of this study is to use artificial intelligence to evaluate reversible causes and relevant circumstances regarding traumatic OHCA in order to improve treatment and survival.
Investigators are adapting the LIFT and REFLECT interventions for older adults living with HIV who have been exposed to childhood sexual abuse.
This study will utilize a pre/post mix method design Quantitative data will be gathered through surveys (including satisfaction questionnaires) administered pre/post workshops. Qualitative data will be obtained through interviews post- workshop and consultations.
Orthofix Srl put the JPS on the European market (2019) by the mean of a pre-market clinical evaluation made under the Medical Device Directive (MDD) requirements that were based on the analysis of the scientific literature of equivalent devices. This study has been planned as part of the Orthofix Srl post-market active surveillance plan for the collection of data on both the clinical performance and the safety profile of the JPS in a representative population of Patients and users. The rationale of the proposed study is to update and support the pre-market clinical evaluation of the JPS with real-word-evidence clinical data, in order to confirm the benefit/risk ratio of this medical device and to keep the CE mark under Medical Device Regulation (MDR) requirements.
