About the group

The studies cover quality assurance, patient selection for surgery, surgical procedures, treatment-related complications, access to rehabilitation and long-term outcomes of treatment. They mainly include the following patient groups:

  • Traumatic Brain Injury – TBI
  • Cervical Spine Fractures

Projects

  • Ultrasound of the optic nerve sheath as a non-invasive tool in the assessment of intracranial pressure in patients with traumatic brain injury
  • Acute management of traumatic brain injury at Oslo University Hospital
  • Cerebral venous thrombosis in traumatic brain injury; CVT in TBI
  • Management of acute odontoid fractures
  • Epidemiology and Surgery in Traumatic Cervical Spine Fractures
  • Neuro-navigation in surgical fixation of cervical fractures
  • Impact of preinjury antithrombotic therapy on 30–day mortality in older patients hospitalized with traumatic brain injury; TBI
  • Bicycle related neck- and traumatic brain injuries
  • TBI and seizures
  • Collaborative European NeuroTrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain Injury; CENTER-TBI

Quality control registries

  • The Oslo TBI Registry – Neurosurgery. TBI patients admitted to OUH with imaged verified TBI
  • The Oslo Neck fracture Registry. All neck fractures in South – East Norway
  • The Oslo Brain Tumor Registry – Neurosurgery. All brain tumor patients treated with surgery at OUH
