Background: After a heart failure (HF) hospital discharge, the risk of a cardiovascular (CV) related event is highest in the following 100 days. It is important to identify factors associated with increased risk of readmission. Method: This retrospective, population-based study examined HF patients in Region Halland (RH), Sweden, hospitalized with a HF diagnosis between 2017 and 2019. Data regardi

Aims:Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination plays a key role in the prevention of cervical cancer. Yet, disparities in HPV vaccination in Sweden have persisted. Previous research on such disparities has typically focused on singular sociodemographic variables and measures of average risk. Using a multi-categorical approach and drawing on intersectionality theory, this study aimed to provide a more

The objective of this study was to review and describe the current state of Swedish osteoporosis care and to highlight ongoing challenges. This report encompasses quantitative health outcomes based on Swedish registry data as well as organizational and management aspects. Swedish osteoporosis care is characterized by a significant burden of disease, difficulties in identifying high-risk patients,

BackgroundHealthcare system and intersectoral public health policies play a crucial role in improving population health and reducing health inequalities. This study aimed to quantify their impact, operationalized as avoidable deaths, on the gap in life expectancy (LE) and lifespan inequality (LI) between Iran and three neighbour countries viz., Turkey, Qatar, and Kuwait in 2015–2016.MethodsAnnual

Background: Few individuals with alcohol use disorders receive treatment. Primary care has been suggested as an arena for early treatment for these disorders. Aim: To evaluate whether the presence of a specialized addiction nurse can increase alcohol-related physician consultations in a primary care setting. Method: This controlled intervention study included one intervention and one control prima

OBJECTIVES: Head and neck cancer (HNC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide. The condition and its treatment often lead to marked morbidities and, for some patients, premature death. Inferentially, HNC imposes a significant economic burden on society. This study aims to provide a comprehensive and detailed estimation of the cost of illness of HNC for Sweden in 2019.METHODS: This is a prevalen

Influenza virus has presented a considerable healthcare challenge during the past years, particularly in vulnerable groups with compromised immune systems. Therapeutics and vaccination have always been in research annals since the spread of influenza. Efforts have been going on to develop an antiviral therapeutic approach that could assist in better disease management and reduce the overall diseas

Background: Hesitancy towards COVID-19 vaccination and its rejection remains a major public health concern worldwide, especially in the Middle East and North African countries. The current study aimed to assess the intentions to get COVID-19 vaccines and its determinants among the general public in Algeria. Methods: A self-administered online survey was distributed during August-September 2021 usi

Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) in young athletes is rare, with an estimated incidence ranging from 0.1 to 2 per 100,000 per athlete year. The creation of SCA registries can help provide accurate data regarding incidence, treatment, and outcomes and help implement primary or secondary prevention strategies that could change the course of these events. Early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and defi

Objective. Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are a common condition in men, and their incidence increases with age. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential cost-utility of microwave thermotherapy, specifically the ProstaLund Feedback Treatment (PLFT), versus alpha-blockade in Swedish patients with LUTS due to BPH. Material and methods.

PURPOSE: To investigate how parental country of birth and individual gender affect utilisation of psychiatric care in adolescents. METHODS: On the basis of data from the Longitudinal Multilevel Analysis in Scania database, the article employs logistic regression to analyse the utilisation of psychiatric care among adolescents aged 13-18 (n = 92203) who were living in the southern Swedish county of

AimTo explore inter-country variation of factors associated with institutionalization of people with dementia. BackgroundThere is an urgent need for evidence on whether factors associated with admission to institutional dementia care are applicable across healthcare systems, as increasing evidence suggests that these factors could be country-specific. DesignA prospective cohort study. MethodPrimar

The objective was to study gender differences in cardiovascular risk factors, lipid and blood pressure control in patients on combined lipid-lowering and antihypertensive treatment, in relation to gender of their physician. This was a cross-sectional study of 4319 patients (53% men) on lipid-lowering and antihypertensive treatment from two national surveys. Male physicians included 1643 men and 13

Breast cancer survival is reportedly higher in the US than in Europe. The first worldwide study (CONCORD) found wide international differences in age-standardized survival. The aim of this study is to explain these survival differences. Population-based data on stage at diagnosis, diagnostic procedures, treatment and follow-up were collected for about 20,000 women diagnosed with breast cancer aged

Objective: To conduct a cost-effectiveness study of nasal budesonide versus surgical treatment in the management of nasal polyps. Design and methods: A decision-tree model reflecting two different treatment strategies for nasal polyps in Sweden was developed. The first strategy was initial polypectomy, performed under three different sets of circumstances: inpatient functional endoscopic surgery,

One of the target goals for sustainable development is the reduction of maternal mortality, which is a big health issue in some countries. Even if the research on maternal health care has come far and with the right expertise and supplies, almost all maternal deaths would be preventable. A working force to reduce the issues within maternal mortality in many countries are non-governmental organizat

Medellivslängden för människor runt om i världen är högre än någonsin. Äldre personer löper högre risk för att drabbas av kroniska sjukdomar, inklusive kronisk njursjukdom. Patienter med dysfunktionella njurar behöver dialys. Njurarnas huvudfunktion är att rena blodet från restprodukter och överflödigt vatten. År 2018 hade Sverige 4101 dialyspatienter av vilka 1026 hade hemdialys. En dialyspatientThe average life expectancy for people around the world is higher than ever before. Older people are at higher risk of suffering from chronic diseases, including chronic kidney disease. Patients with dysfunctional kidneys need dialysis. The main function of the kidneys is to clean the blood from waste products and excess water. In 2018, Sweden had 4101 dialysis patients of which 1026 had home dial
