IntroductionNational and regional carbapenemase-producing Enterobacterales (CPE) surveillance is essential to understand the burden of antimicrobial resistance, elucidate outbreaks, and develop infection-control or antimicrobial-treatment recommendations.AimThis study aimed to describe CPE and their epidemiology in Norway from 2015 to 2021.MethodsA nationwide, population-based observational study

Rationale: We recently demonstrated that patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) carrying the tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) A allele had increased circulating TNF-α levels compared with the ones carrying the TNF-α G allele. In the current study, we addressed the effect of TNF-α (-308G/A) gene polymorphism on circulating TNF-α levels following continuous

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic substantially magnified the inequity gaps among vulnerable populations. Both public health (PH) and primary health care (PHC) have been crucial in addressing the challenges posed by the pandemic, especially in the area of vulnerable populations. However, little is known about the intersection between PH and PHC as a strategy to mitigate the inequity gap. This stud

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the use of second-look resection (SLR) in stage T1 bladder cancer (BC) in a population-based Swedish cohort. Materials and methods: All patients diagnosed with stage T1 BC in 2008–2009 were identified in the Swedish National Registry for Urinary Bladder Cancer. Registry data on TNM stage, grade, primary treatment and pathological reports from the SLR perform

People with asymptomatic bacteriuria (ABU) are often unnecessarily treated with antibiotics risking adverse effects and antimicrobial resistance. We performed a systematic review to determine any benefits and harms of treating ABU in particular patient groups. Relevant databases were searched and eligible trials were assessed for risk-of-bias and Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development

Objectives: To examine the risk of putative pneumococcal infections in adult arthritis patients on different anti-rheumatic drugs immunized with heptavalent pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (Prevenar 7; PCV7) and non-vaccinated individually matched arthritis patients. Method: All individuals in a cohort of 505 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or spondylarthropathy (SpA) receiving different an

The aim was to study possible associations between smoking habits and self-reported clinical features in a large population-based cohort of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). All subjects with PsA who had sought health care in the period 2003-2007 were identified using a regional health-care register. In 2009, all those identified who were 18 years of age or more (n = 2,003) were sent a ques

Popular Abstract in Swedish Avhandlingens syfte är att genom en empirisk undersökning öka förståelsen av tidigt föräldraskap till barn med Downs syndrom. Jag utgår ifrån föräldrarnas livsvärld och utvecklar ett medföljande arbetssätt. Tio familjer med nyfödda barn med Downs syndrom följs genom regelbundna hembesök under det första året med barnet.

My point of departure has been the parents’ life-worlds, and I have developed an accompanying working method. Ten families with newborn infants with Down syndrome were followed through regular home visits during the first year of

Introduction Mild traumatic brain injury is common in children and it can be challenging to accurately identify those in need of urgent medical intervention. The Scandinavian guidelines for management of minor and moderate head trauma in children, the Scandinavian Neurotrauma Committee guideline 2016 (SNC16), were developed to aid in risk stratification and decision-making in Scandinavian emergenc

Background: Women with intellectual disability (ID) may encounter barriers to exercising reproductive agency, self-care during pregnancy, and accessing healthcare to optimize pregnancy outcomes. However, there is to date little evidence to guide policy and practice. We aim to fill this identified knowledge gap by examining pregnancy outcomes among women with ID in comparison with women from the ge

INTRODUCTION: Social prescribing (SP) is an innovative model that connects individuals to non-clinical community resources. However, its uptake and evaluation have been hindered by inconsistent role definitions for key stakeholders. Although recent studies have refined SP definitions, outside the UK, the responsibilities, educational backgrounds and training requirements of social prescribing link

Background and purposeHYPO-RT-PC was the first phase 3 trial showing the long-term efficacy and safety of extremely hypofractionated radiotherapy schedules (ultra-hypofractionation or stereotactic body radiotherapy) compared with standard radiotherapy in localised prostate cancer. We aimed to verify their safety in the context of a clinical trial, by comparing events of potentially radiotherapy-re

Aim: To explore the lived experience of the trusting nurse–patient relationship among patients admitted to internal medicine wards. Design: A qualitative study guided by van Manen's hermeneutic phenomenological approach. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with fourteen hospitalised patients in a Danish University hospital in 2024. Data were analysed through thematic reflection. Res

Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is commonly used in patients with heart failure and left ventricular dyssynchrony. Several scoring systems have been tested in order to predict long-term outcome. Although intended for use in patients with atrial fibrillation, we sought to assess the performance of the CHA2DS2-VASc score in a CRT population. Methods: Data on 796 consecutive CRT p
