Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • rate of infections

    day 28 post intervention

Study Arms (2)

major abdominal surgery

The investigators compare the levels of biomarkers in patients with and without complications in the early postoperative course following major abdominal surgery

severe burn injury

The investigators compare levels of biomarkers within the first 20 days in patients with and without complications following severe burn injury

Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

Group 1: patients who undergo major abdominal surgery Group 2: patients following severe burn injury

You may qualify if:

  • patients with major abdominal surgery (e.g. gastrectomy, hemi-/colectomy, resection of sigma or rectum, resection of liver, esophagectomy)
  • patients following severe burn injury (burn surface area \>= 15%)
  • age \>= 18 years
  • informed consent

You may not qualify if:

  • no informed consent
  • emergency surgery
  • immunocompromising diseases (e.g. HIV+, AIDS, Lymphoma or NonHodgkin-Lymphoma, Autoimmune-Diseases)
  • pre-existing liver or renal failure
  • chronic therapy with corticoids
