[Effects of the new injury type catalogue of the German statutory accident insurance on a center for severe injury type procedures].

CONCLUSION: The modifications of the VAV in the observational period led to an enormous increase in SAV cases. It remains to be seen whether this development is confirmed in subsequent quarters. The increase in CMI, the number of necessary operations, operating room times and duration of hospitalization showed the necessity of these innovations on structural changes of hospitals involved in the treatment of SAV cases.
