Childhood trauma appeared linked to a depressive episode during the perinatal period in adulthood, according to study results published in Journal of Clinical Psychiatry.

A question set feasibly administrable in the ED predicted 3-month PTSD or major depressive episode among individuals who experienced a motor vehicle collision, according to an analysis of a longitudinal study in JAMA Psychiatry.

The EBOT Exam is a specialist exam in trauma and orthopaedics. For the last 18 years, it has been run in different European countries with the aim to improve the standard of knowledge and professional competence of surgeons.

Firearm injuries affect victims far beyond mortality and economic burden, according to results of a prospective cohort study published in JAMA Surgery.

Each year, members of the worldwide orthopaedics and traumatology community share with EFORT about 3,500 abstracts with compelling clinical and experimental results from different levels of scientific knowledge, as well as many systematic reviews. This implies that attendees from all stages of an orthopaedics and traumatology medical career can actively participate in the EFORT annual meetings by having abstracts accepted for onsite presentation.

For each edition of the EFORT Congress, preparing an up-to-date scientific program based on high-quality scientific findings is key to accomplish the organization’s mission of ensuring the best orthopaedic and traumatology education across Europe. Construction of the first program draft starts 18 months before the meeting and is based on the collection of proposals from all the EFORT National Member Societies, numerous specialty collaborating societies and each EFORT standing committee.

EFORT has featured at every annual meeting for the past 5 years a specific congress main theme that has always aligned with the EFORT mission of improving patient care. This selected overarching topic is broadly reflected in the scientific program for the meeting and is used as the driving statement for the core discussions in all the planned sessions and scientific exchanges onsite. For the upcoming 2020 edition of the Congress in Vienna, EFORT will highlight harmonization and diversity in the orthopaedic and traumatology practice as the congress main theme.

Abstract submission for the upcoming EFORT Annual Congress in Vienna, Austria will be running on our online scientific platform until Friday, 15 November 2019 at 23:59 CET.
