This project investigates early predictors of neurological recovery after traumatic spinal cord injury through three main aims:
1. MAP and vasopressors - determine whether continuous monitoring of mean arterial pressure (MAP) and the use of vasopressors in the ICU influence neurological outcome.
2. Pharmacological interventions - evaluate the impact of other medications, particularly opioids in the acute stage, on recovery.
3. Biomarkers - identify diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers (blood-borne or digital) from routine clinical measurements within the first year after injury.
Using high-frequency ICU data and advanced data science methods, the study seeks to provide insights that support individualized treatment strategies and improve outcomes after SCI.
