18 Years to No maximum

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Trauma patient with ISS >9

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: No declaration of consent, pregnancy, participants unter 18 years old, doubts about the patient's ability to consent or signs of dementia, as well as incomplete blood collection series. In addition, patients with acute or chronic inflammation, e.g., autoimmune hepatitis, but also genetic diseases, cholestatic diseases, and patients with co-infection, such as HCV and HBV or HCV and HIV, are excluded, as these have been shown to alter the fibrolytic EV profile.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To investigate a) whether the severity of trauma can be assessed by EV signature (correlation with ISS) and b) whether polytrauma patients with internal organ damage can be differentiated from polytrauma patients without internal organ damage.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
The secondary question will investigate whether and, if so, which changes the concentrations of the above-mentioned EVs exhibit over time.
