Overview

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.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
