Introduction: In February 2020, COVID-19 infections started to spread in Austria. This was followed by governmental actions and constraints such as lockdowns, quarantine protocols, and a ban on outdoor sports. The goal of this study was to investigate the influence of these measures on the number of traumatic brain injuries (TBI) in the state of Tyrol.

Here, we devised core outcome sets (COS) and reporting guidelines to harmonize iMMM practices and research.
Methods: An open, decentralized, three-round Delphi consensus study involved experts between December 2023 and June 2024.
Purpose: The impact of pediatric traumatic brain injury (pTBI) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children and adolescents remains understudied. Short scales have some advantages in terms of economy and administration over longer scales, especially in younger children. The aim of the present study is to psychometrically evaluate the six-item German version of the QOLIBRI-OS-KID/ADO scale for children and adolescents.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of bolus compared to continuous adrenaline administration on cerebral oxygenation in a porcine CPR model.
Methods: After five minutes of cardiac arrest, mechanical CPR was performed for 15 min.
