Assess the Efficacy of Tailored Patient Information and Voluntary Patient-managed Outpatient Digital Follow-up (I-POD) as an Adjunct to Standard Treatment According to National Guidelines in the National Trauma Plan Among Adult Trauma Patients in Norway.

The POSTRAUMA trial is a clinical trial at The Regional trauma centre of Western Norway, Haukeland University Hospital. Trauma is the leading cause of death worldwide in patients aged 1-45 years. In Norway, approximately 10,000 patients are admitted to hospital annually due to trauma, with 66% being male. The mean age is 43 years for male and 48 years for female, indicating a relatively young patient population. While mortality rates are decreasing, a significant proportion of trauma survivors experience long-term disabilities, reduced quality of life, and difficulties in returning to work. These consequences impose substantial burdens on individuals, families, and society. Considering these issues, a shift in focus is needed-from survival alone to long-term functional recovery and quality of life after trauma. Severe trauma often requires long-term follow-up, both physically and psychosocially. Traditional follow-up can be fragmented and not tailored to individual needs. Digital patient monitoring and tailored information have the potential to improve patient pathways, but knowledge about how these are experienced by patients is limited. The goal is to find out if Norwegian trauma patients who receive tailored patient information and patient-managed outpatient digital follow-up, in addition to standard treatment have: * Less disability * Return more often to work * Improved quality of life The study population are Norwegian trauma patients, 16 years or older at date of inclusion, who are admitted to Haukeland University hospital (HUS) following trauma with trauma team activation. 256 patients will be included in this trial. Participants will: * Answer a questionnaire at inclusion, one month, 6 months and 12 months. * Participants in the intervention group will be invited to digital outpatient follow up one month after the accident. * Some participants will be interviewed about how they experienced their trauma follow up.

Long-Term Burden of BPD and Health-Related Quality of Life (BronQ Family)

The objective of this study is to examine the long-term impact of having a child with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD) on the parents and caregivers from the time of diagnosis through adulthood. The primary focus will be on parents and caregivers of children until the age of 18 (\< 18) years who were diagnosed with BPD as newborns. Data will be collected through an online questionnaire in France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom (including Northern Ireland), and the United States. It will ask about inclusion and exclusion criteria, background information (caregiver, child, and family situation), the child's medical situation, parental health-related quality of life (HRQoL), health literacy, feelings, support structures, and economic burden of the family.

Health-Related Quality of Life in Children and Adolescents With Clubfoot

This prospective cohort study aims to evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in children aged 2 to 15 years with congenital clubfoot, treated primarily according to the Ponseti method. The study will assess HRQoL using the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL 4.0) and clinical outcomes using the PBS Clubfoot Score (PBS). Participants will be followed for 2 and 5 years to evaluate changes in HRQoL and clinical function. The primary objective is to understand the long-term impact of clubfoot and its treatment on patients' physical, emotional, and social well-being.
