Investigation of the Effect of Age and Injury Severity on Short-term Intra-hospital Outcomes After Surgical Stabilized Rib Fractures
University Hospital Muenster
700 participants

OBSERVATIONAL
Conditions
Summary
The study aims to investigate the effect of surgical stabilisation of rib fractures (SSRF) on clinical outcomes measured during the hospital stay (mortality, days on a mechanical ventilator, intensive care unit and hospital length of stay, rate of complications). Furthermore, the effect of the patients age and overall injury severity on the outcomes after SSRF will be investigated. We hypothesise that the combination of high age and high injury severity will lead to worse outcomes after SSRF.
Eligibility

- Coded serial rib fractures (ICD S22.4 and S22.5)
- Treatment for the rib fractures between 2019 and 2023
Exclusion Criteria1
