De allra flesta läkarbesöken för infektioner sker i primärvården. En hög och olämplig antibiotikaförskrivning innebär risker inte bara för biverkningar för patienten utan också för ökad antibiotikaresistens. Stora ansträngningar har gjorts för att minska antibiotikaförskrivning. Under covid-19-pandemin såg vi att antalet infektioner och antalet antibiotikaförskrivningar halverades. Hur kan vi fort
The substantial growth of private health insurance in 21st century Sweden has sparked debates about its potential effect on waiting times within the public health care system. Some argue that individuals with private health insurance are prioritized in the waiting list for health care, potentially leading to longer waiting times for those without private coverage. Conversely, others argue that pri
Introduction: Survivors of critical illness commonly experience physical, cognitive, and psychological impairments. Early rehabilitation may mitigate these impairments; however, how rehabilitation practices are perceived and implemented by healthcare professionals in intensive care unit (ICU) remains insufficiently described. This study aimed to describe healthcare professionals' perceptions of re
Background: Heart failure (HF) has a high prevalence in an elderly population and leads to a substantial hospitalization and mortality. The objective of this study was to investigate factors that affect hospitalization and mortality in an elderly population. Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted of HF patients aged 76–95 years residing in Region Halland, Sweden. Between 2013 a
OBJECTIVE: Assess the quality of healthcare across African countries based on health providers' clinical knowledge, their clinic attendance and drug availability, with a focus on seven conditions accounting for a large share of child and maternal mortality in sub-Saharan Africa: malaria, tuberculosis, diarrhoea, pneumonia, diabetes, neonatal asphyxia and postpartum haemorrhage.METHODS: With nation
The inference of gene networks from gene expression data is known as "reverse engineering." Elucidating genetic networks from high-throughput microarray data in seed maturation and embryo formation in plants is crucial for storage and production of cereals for human beings. Delayed seed maturation and abnormal embryo formation during storage of cereal crops degrade the quality and quantity of food
Assuring delivery reliability is a vital part for any organisation in a supply chain, and in few cases could the consequences of a failed delivery be as dire as they would in the case of a healthcare provider. However, delivery reliability is not a well-studied subject within the context of public healthcare procurement. The aim of this thesis has been to identify the factors that affect delivery

Introduction: Out-of-pocket health expenditures (OOPE) are an inefficient and inequitable means of health financing. Identifying the factors driving these expenditures is crucial to design effective prepayment schemes. This study uses Cambodia—a country with high OOPE and prevalent informal employment—as a case study to analyse the relative contributions of healthcare, health, and social factors t
The current pandemic SARS-CoV-2 has required an unusual allocation of resources that can negatively impact chronically ill patients and high-complexity procedures. Across the European Reference Network on Pediatric Transplantation (ERN TransplantChild), we conducted a survey to investigate the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on pediatric transplant activity and healthcare practices in both solid o

Objectives: Antihistamines have been reported to be linked with less pain in osteoarthritis. We aimed to estimate associations between antihistamine use and three outcomes: prevalent osteoarthritis, current joint pain, and developing osteoarthritis. Methods: We included 25 003 participants of EpiHealth – a cohort of persons aged 45 to 75 from Malmö/Uppsala in Sweden. Participants self-reported the
