Background: Point-of-care (POC) tests, including C-reactive protein (CRP) tests and rapid antigen detection tests (RADT) for group A streptococci (GAS), are widely used in Swedish primary health care (PHC). This study quantifies their use in pharyngotonsillitis and explore their association with antibiotic prescribing. Material and methods: Retrospective data from 2012–2016 in Region Kronoberg, Sw
Background: Women with current or previous drug use (WCPDU) have an increased risk of poor breast and cervical cancer outcomes. Screening is known to decrease the mortality of these common cancer forms, but screening participation has been sparsely investigated among women with drug dependency. The aim of this study was to assess participation in screening for breast and cervical cancer among WCPD

Bröstcancer är den vanligaste cancertypen hos kvinnor globalt sett. I låg- och medelinkomstländer är tillgången till bröstcancerdiagnostik och behandling begränsad, vilket leder till att förhållandevis fler kvinnor dör av sin cancer jämfört med till exempel Sverige. Ett billigt och lättanvänt bröstdiagnostiskt verktyg skulle kunna bidra till en minskad dödlighet i länder med begränsade resurser. FBreast cancer is the most common type of cancer worldwide and the incidence is increasing. Women in low- and middle-income countries have a high mortality to incidence ratio mainly due to a lack of resources and organized health-care. A cheap and reliable breast diagnostic tool could enable an earlier diagnosis for low-resource countries and contribute to a reduction in breast cancer mortality. We

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, inflammatory relapsing disease with increasing incidence. IBD research and long-term follow-up of patients have, however, been hampered by lack of detailed data on disease phenotype, patient-reported outcome measures, Physician Global Assessment, disease activity, and hospital-administered drugs. Aim: To review the Swedish IBD quality regi
Introduction: Information on follow-up practices after stroke in clinical routine are sparse. We studied the probability of doctor’s follow-up within 90, 120, 180, and 365 days after hospital discharge, and how patient characteristics were associated with the probability of follow-up, in a large unselected stroke cohort. Patients and methods: Data on patients living in southern Sweden, hospitalize
