Surgical Stabilisation of Rib Fractures in Non-ventilated Patients

NCT06464289 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 35974

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of the study is to investigate the effect of surgical stabilisation of rib fractures on clinical outcomes in patients that are not dependent on mechanical ventilation at the time of the treatment decision. To this end, data on all eligible patients will be extracted from the TraumaRegister® DGU. Baseline demographics will be analysed using descriptive statistics. Propensity matching will be conducted between the operative cohort (receiving SSRF by any technique) and the conservative cohort (not receiving SSRF). The effect of SSRF on the outcome variables will then be assessed using appropriate statistical tests.

Conditions

  • Rib Fractures
  • Thorax; Fracture

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Surgical stabilisation of rib fractures (SSRF)

Surgical stabilisation of rib fractures using any fixation technique (including but not limited to plate fixation, intramedullary fixation, wire fixation) via any operative approach (including but not limited to open external approach, minimally invasive approach, thoracoscopic approach, thoracotomy approach).

OTHER

Non-operative management of rib fractures

Any supportive or specific treatment of rib fractures excluding surgical stabilisation of rib fractures. This includes, but is not limited to analgesia, physiotherapy, non-invasive ventilation, mechanical ventilation, oxygen-supplementation.
