Article Synopsis
- The LOGICAL trial aims to compare the effects of conservative versus liberal oxygen therapy on ICU patients with suspected hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE) after cardiac arrest.
- Involving 1400 comatose adults, this randomised clinical trial will measure outcomes like survival with good neurological function using the Extended Glasgow Outcome Scale at 180 days.
- The results will help clarify the optimal oxygen therapy approach for these patients and have the potential to improve clinical practices in critical care settings.
Objectives: To compare fracture incidence, mortality, and patient-reported health outcomes at 6 and 12 months postinjury between primary and periprosthetic distal femur fractures in older adults.
Methods: A registry-based cohort study was conducted including all adults 70 years of age or older registered by the Victorian Orthopaedic Trauma Outcomes Registry who experienced a primary or periprosthetic distal femur fracture between 2007 and 2017. Outcomes included mortality and health status (Three-Level European Quality of Life-Five Dimensions Scale [EQ-5D-3L]) collected at 6 and 12 months postinjury.
Background: Previous research has shown that people with traumatic injuries have unmet information needs with respect to their injuries, management, and recovery. An interactive trauma recovery information booklet was developed and implemented to address these information needs at a major trauma center in Victoria, Australia.
Objective: The aim of this quality improvement project was to explore patient and clinician perceptions of a recovery information booklet introduced into a trauma ward.
Objective: The aim of this study was to assess changes in patient activities and interactions observed in response to a new trauma ward at a level 1 trauma centre, and subsequently, a new allied health staffing model.
Design: Explorative case study using behavioural mapping.
Setting: Level 1 trauma centre in Melbourne, Australia.
The outcomes of survivors of critical illness due to coronavirus disease (COVID-19) compared with non-COVID-19 are yet to be established. We aimed to investigate new disability at 6 months in mechanically ventilated patients admitted to Australian ICUs with COVID-19 compared with non-COVID-19. We included critically ill patients with COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 from two prospective observational studies.

We aimed to describe the incidence of death or new disability, functional impairment and changes in health-related quality of life of patients after COVID-19 critical illness at 6 months.
Methods: In a nationally representative, multicenter, prospective cohort study of COVID-19 critical illness, we determined the prevalence of death or new disability at 6 months, the primary outcome.
