Prognostic significance of inferior vena cava volume defined by initial polytrauma CT-imaging: single-center experience of a level-1 trauma center Open
Background The significance of computed tomography (CT)-based volume measurement of the inferior vena cava (IVC) in the treatment and prognosis of trauma patients is not yet fully understood. The conflicting results that have been reported…

Body composition parameters in initial CT imaging of mechanically ventilated trauma patients: Single‐centre observational study Open
Background Body composition parameters provide relevant prognostic significance in critical care cohorts and cancer populations. Published results regarding polytrauma patients are inconclusive to date. The goal of this study was to analys…

Epicardial adipose tissue defined by initial polytrauma CT of mechanically ventilated trauma patients: retrospective single-center cohort study to predict short-term outcomes Open
Purpose Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) detected by computed tomography (CT) is associated with morbidity and mortality in patients with COVID-19 and other critical care patient cohorts, whereas their prognostic relevance in trauma patient…
Interobserver variability in preclinical assessment of collision variables following traffic accidents Open
Purpose Traffic accidents persist as a leading cause of death. European law mandates the integration of automatic emergency call systems (eCall). Our project focuses on an automated injury prediction device for car accidents, correlating t…
Acquired Factor XIII Deficiency in Patients with Multiple Trauma Open
We demonstrated that trauma-associated FXIII deficiency is a common coagulation disorder, with FXIII deficiency increasing further in the first 7 days after trauma, the period of early surgical care. In vitro administration of FXIII was ab…
Epidemiologic, Postmortem Computed Tomography-Morphologic and Biomechanical Analysis of the Effects of Non-Invasive External Pelvic Stabilizers in Genuine Unstable Pelvic Injuries Open
Unstable pelvic injuries are rare (3–8% of all fractures) but are associated with a mortality of up to 30%. An effective way to treat venous and cancellous sources of bleeding prehospital is to reduce intrapelvic volume with external nonin…
