NCT05245253

Brief Summary

The overall aim is to examine the impact of trauma and critical illness on the brain, peripheral immune system and cognition. This is a prospective study where a study group exposed to trauma and intensive care will be be examined with consecutive PET imaging, EEG, biomarkers and cognitive testing within 3 weeks of the trauma, after 3 months and finally after 12 months. The study group will consist of twenty trauma patients treated in the intensive care unit.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Neuroinflammation

    The trajectory of neuroinflammation as measured by repeated PET-examinations. More specifically, the probe targeting the translocator protein indicates microglia-activation as a sign of inflammatory activation. The change in binding capacity of the probe will be measured, generating a difference in signal in the regions of interest.

    3 weeks-12 months post trauma

  • Cognitive dysfunction

    Cognitive function will be evaluated with Cambridge Neuropsychological Automated Battery (CANTAB) with five different tests at three timepoints. A z-score will be calcualted for each test and then aggregated into a total z-score for the entire test.

    3 weeks-12 months post trauma

Study Arms (1)

Trauma patients

Trauma patients 20-60 years of age

Radiation: Positron Emission tomography

Interventions

Patients will be tested with PET-examination at 3 weeks, 3 months and 1 year after the trauma
