Research
With over 52,000 patients a year, we are always amazed. This amazement gives rise to ideas. We try to find out what patients have in common and try to develop models that could improve both diagnosis and treatment. Often enough, however, we also discover that patients who are similar in many respects at first glance actually have a surprising number of differences.
The research team at the Emergency Center is involved in national and international multi-center studies and conducts various studies of its own.
Own research projects
Falls study: Effect of a brief physiotherapy intervention in patients after a fall event in an emergency department
Back pain study: Effect of a short physiotherapy intervention in patients with non-specific back pain in the emergency department
Our research questions:
- Negative X-Ray of pelvis followed by CT examination - frequency of surgical treatment in CT-detected fractures of the pelvis
