The severely injured older patient: identifying patients at high risk for mortality using the Dutch National Trauma Registry.

Purpose: The incidence of severely injured older trauma patients is increasing globally, portraying high mortality rates. Exploring the demographics and clinical outcomes of this subgroup is essential to further improve specialised care at the right place. This study was performed to identify severely injured older patients at high risk for mortality by examining their characteristics and identifying prognostic factors contributing to mortality.

Psychological health status after major trauma across different levels of trauma care: A multicentre secondary analysis.

Introduction: Concentration of trauma care in trauma network has resulted in different trauma populations across designated levels of trauma care.

Objective: Describing psychological health status, by means of the impact event scale (IES) and the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS), of major trauma patients one and two years post-trauma across different levels of trauma care in trauma networks.

Methods: A multicentre retrospective cohort study was conducted.

The cross-sectional and longitudinal interconnectedness of physical, psychological and role functioning following physical trauma: A network analysis.

Objective: Surviving physical trauma can have a large impact on one's daily life.

The present study explores the interconnectedness of physical, psychological, and role functioning during the first two years post-injury, both cross-sectionally and longitudinally from a network perspective.

First experience with a vendor-neutral three-dimensional mapping system for cardiac magnetic resonance-guided electrophysiological procedures: a case report.

Background: Fluoroscopy-guided catheter ablation has become the gold standard for treatment of cardiac arrhythmias. High resolution electro-anatomical mapping systems have become fundamental to perform these procedures. Recently, interventional cardiac magnetic resonance (iCMR) has been proposed as an alternative for fluoroscopy to guide atrial flutter ablations.
