Care pathways and factors associated with interhospital transfer to neurotrauma centers for patients with isolated moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury: a population-based study from the Norwegian trauma registry
Cuevas-Østrem, Mathias; Thorsen, Kjetil; Wisborg, Torben; Røise, Olav; Helseth, Eirik; Jeppesen, Elisabeth (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-06-26)Background Systems ensuring continuity of care through the treatment chain improve outcomes for traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. Non-neurosurgical acute care trauma hospitals are central in providing care continuity in current trauma systems, however, their role in TBI management is understudied. This study aimed to investigate characteristics and care pathways and identify factors associated ... -
Differences in time-critical interventions and radiological examinations between adult and older trauma patients: A national register-based study
Cuevas-Østrem, Mathias; Wisborg, Torben; Røise, Olav; Jeppesen, Elisabeth (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-07)BACKGROUND<p> <p>Older trauma patients are reported to receive lower levels of care than younger adults. Differences in clinical management between adult and older trauma patients hold important information about potential trauma system improvement targets. The aim of this study was to compare prehospital and early in-hospital management of adult and older trauma patients, focusing on time-critical ... -
Effect of urban vs. remote settings on prehospital time and mortality in trauma patients in Norway: a national populationbased study
Nilsbakken, Inger Marie Waal; Cuevas-Østrem, Mathias; Wisborg, Torben; Sollid, Stephen J. M.; Jeppesen, Elisabeth (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-05)Background Norway has a diverse population pattern and often long transport distances from injury sites to hospitals. Also, previous studies have found an increased risk of trauma-related mortality in remote areas in Norway. Studies on urban vs. remote differences on trauma outcomes from other countries are sparse and they report conflicting results.The aim of the present study was to investigate ... -
Epidemiology of geriatric trauma patients in Norway: A nationwide analysis of Norwegian Trauma Registry data, 2015-2018. A retrospective cohort study.
Cuevas-Østrem, Mathias; Røise, Olav; Wisborg, Torben; Jeppesen, Elisabeth (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-11-04)<i>Introduction</i> - Geriatric patients have a high risk of poor outcomes after trauma and is a rapid-increasing group within the trauma population. Given the need to ensure that the trauma system is targeted, efficient, accessible, safe and responsive to all age groups the aim of the present study was to explore the epidemiology and characteristics of the Norwegian geriatric trauma population and ... -
Geriatric Trauma – a rising tide. Assessing Patient Safety challenges in a vulnerable population. The GTAPS project protocol
Cuevas-Østrem, Mathias; Røise, Olav; Wisborg, Torben; Jeppesen, Elisabeth (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-12-17)<i>Background</i>: Many high- and-middle-income countries around the world are experiencing historic demographical changes: People are living longer, birth rates are decreasing, and older people constitute a growing proportion of the population. This contributes to increasing numbers of geriatric trauma patients. Geriatric patients have higher mortality rates after injury than younger patients, and ...
