Ziel des Projekts war es, den aktuellen Umsetzungsstand von SzA in deutschen Krankenh{\"a}usern zu analysieren und Handlungsempfehlungen f{\"u}r die Weiterentwicklung des B3S zu erarbeiten. Die Analyse basiert auf einer umfangreichen Befragung von Krankenhausbetreibern, Expertengespr{\"a}chen sowie der Auswertung relevanter nationaler und internationaler Standards und Good Practices. Die Ergebnisse zeigen deutliche Unterschiede im Reifegrad der SzA-Implementierung zwischen verschiedenen Bereichen, wobei die Informationstechnik branchenweit am fortgeschrittensten ist.

In Georgia, cervical cancer ranks as the fifth most common cancer among women, with approximately 330 new cases and 200 deaths reported annually. Despite the availability of effective HPV vaccines, national vaccination coverage remains low. This study aimed to evaluate HPV vaccination coverage, analyze cervical cancer incidence trends, and model the potential impact of increased vaccination uptake on cancer prevention outcomes in Georgia. Study design A retrospective observational study was conducted using national health registry data and modeling projections to assess the burden of cervical cancer and estimate the effect of scaled vaccination coverage. Methods National health databases were used to analyze HPV vaccination rates and cervical cancer incidence. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and linear regression were applied to identify trends and disparities. Additionally, a dynamic transmission model was developed to simulate the 10-year impact of increasing HPV vaccination coverage on cervical cancer incidence. Results The crude cervical cancer incidence rate was 15.7 per 100,000 women, with an age-standardized rate of 10.6 per 100,000. In 2022, only 38 \% of eligible girls aged 13-18 received the first HPV vaccine dose, and 26 \% completed the second dose. Regional disparities in vaccination and screening were noted, and overall screening coverage declined to 13,890 women screened in 2022. Modeling showed that increasing vaccine coverage to 60 \% could reduce cervical cancer incidence by 50 \% (preventing ∼163 cases); coverage of 80 \% and 90 \% could reduce incidence by 70 \% and 85 \%, preventing 228 and 276 cases, respectively. Conclusion Low HPV vaccination uptake in Georgia (38 \% first dose and 26 \% dull coverage) and declining screening limit cervical cancer prevention. Modeling shows that increasing vaccination coverage to 60-90 \% could prevent 163-276 cases over the next decade. Strengthening vaccination and screening strategies is essential to move forward elimination.}, language = {en} } @article{BeckSchraderTetzlaffetal.2018, author = {Beck, Eberhard and Schrader, Thomas and Tetzlaff, Laura and Schr{\"o}der, Cornelia}, title = {Prospektive Risikoanalyse: Die {\"A}hnlichkeit von Medikamentennamen in der Drugbank-Datenbank}, series = {GMS Medizinische Informatik, Biometrie und Epidemiologie}, volume = {14}, journal = {GMS Medizinische Informatik, Biometrie und Epidemiologie}, number = {2}, doi = {10.3205/mibe000187}, pages = {1/7 -- 7/7}, year = {2018}, language = {de} } @article{LiefoldWagnerPokrakaetal.2018, author = {Liefold, Marius and Wagner, Dennis and Pokraka, Alexander and Schrader, Thomas}, title = {Low-Cost Medical Infrastructure: Triage as intelligent decision support}, series = {Electronic Imaging, Mobile Devices and Multimedia: Enabling Technologies, Algorithms, and Applications}, journal = {Electronic Imaging, Mobile Devices and Multimedia: Enabling Technologies, Algorithms, and Applications}, publisher = {Society for Imaging Science and Technology (IS\&T)}, doi = {10.2352/ISSN.2470-1173.2018.06.MOBMU-116}, pages = {116-1 -- 116-4}, year = {2018}, language = {en} } @article{OeppertHartzWehneretal.2021, author = {Oeppert, Luise and Hartz, Tobias and Wehner, Kathrin and Schrader, Thomas and Meier, Jens}, title = {FHIR-Datenmodell zur {\"U}bermittlung von Tumordaten zwischen Krebsregistern und IQTIG}, series = {GMS Medizinische Informatik, Biometrie und Epidemiologie}, volume = {17}, journal = {GMS Medizinische Informatik, Biometrie und Epidemiologie}, number = {Iss 4}, publisher = {German Medical Science GMS Publishing House}, doi = {10.3205/mibe000231}, year = {2021}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{TetzlaffPurohitSpalleketal.2023, author = {Tetzlaff, Laura and Purohit, Anne-Maria and Spallek, Jacob and Holmberg, Christine and Schrader, Thomas}, title = {Evaluating Interoperability in German Critical Incident Reporting Systems}, series = {German Medical Data Sciences 2023 - Science.

The aim of the research was to elucidate the effects of hand and massage chair massage on the biomechanical parameters of muscles of lower limbs and back, indicators of Pain Pressure Thresholds (PPT) and subjectively perceived fatigue. A total of 32 female recreational athletes (18 - 50 years old) were assigned to a hand massage, massage chair, or lying down the group. They were measured for muscle biomechanical properties (MyotonPro), PPT (Wagner Instruments) and subjectively perceived fatigue (VAS scale) before and after fatigue tests and treatment. The recovery procedure and subjective satisfaction with treatment were rated on a Likert scale. Changes in the median value of m. rectus femoris and m. gastrocnemius stiffness with treatment showed that hand massage could be more effective in reducing stiffness, as compared to chair massage. Hand massage may have benefits for recovery from physical exertion, but due to the individuality of subjects, detailed methodological studies are needed to evaluate the effects of massage chair vs. hand massage.}, language = {en} } @article{BeckTetzlaffSchroederetal.2018, author = {Beck, Eberhard and Tetzlaff, Laura and Schr{\"o}der, Cornelia and Schrader, Thomas}, title = {Die Datenqualit{\"a}t des CIRSmedical - geeignet f{\"u}r eine systematische Analyse?}, series = {GMS Medizinische Informatik, Biometrie und Epidemiologie}, volume = {14}, journal = {GMS Medizinische Informatik, Biometrie und Epidemiologie}, number = {2}, doi = {10.3205/mibe000188}, pages = {Doc10-1 -- Doc10-9}, year = {2018}, language = {de} } @article{WeberSteinPilgermannetal.2023, author = {Weber, Simon B. and Stein, Stefan and Pilgermann, Michael and Schrader, Thomas}, title = {Attack Detection for Medical Cyber-Physical Systems - A Systematic Literature Review}, series = {IEEE Access}, journal = {IEEE Access}, number = {11}, publisher = {IEEE}, doi = {10.1109/ACCESS.2023.3270225}, pages = {41796 -- 41815}, year = {2023}, abstract = {The threat situation due to cyber attacks in hospitals is emerging and patient life is at risk. One significant source of potential vulnerabilities is medical cyber-physical systems (MCPS). Detecting intrusions in this environment faces challenges different from other domains, mainly due to the heterogeneity of devices, the diversity of connectivity types, and the variety of terminology. To summarize existing results, we conducted a structured literature review (SLR) following the guidelines of Kitchenham et al. for SLRs in software engineering. We developed six research questions regarding detection approach, detection location, included features, adversarial focus, utilized datasets, and intrusion prevention. We identified that most researchers focused on an anomaly-based detection approach at the network layer. The primary focus was on the detection of malicious insiders. While several researchers used publicly available datasets for training and testing their algorithms, the lack of suitable datasets resulted in the development of testbeds consisting of various medical devices. Based on the results, we formulated five future research topics. First, the special conditions of hospital networks, the MCPS deployed within them, and the contrasts to other IT and OT environments should be examined. Thereupon, MCPS-specific datasets should be created that allow researchers to address the health domain's unique requirements and possibilities. At the same time, endeavors aimed at standardization in this area should be supported and expanded. Moreover, the use of medical context for attack detection should be further explored. Last but not least, efforts for MCPS-tailored intrusion prevention should be intensified. This way, the emerging threat landscape can be addressed, IT security in hospitals can be improved, and patient health can be protected.}, language = {en} } @misc{WeberSteinPilgermannetal.2023, author = {Weber, Simon and Stein, Stefan and Pilgermann, Michael and Schrader, Thomas}, title = {Attack Detection for Medical Cyber- Physical Systems - The Visualization}, doi = {10.25933/opus4-2914}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:522-opus4-29142}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Attack Detection for Medical Cyber-Physical Systems - The Visualization}, language = {en} }
