CONTEXT: Heart failure (HF) is associated with symptom exacerbations and risk of mortality after an emergency department (ED) visit. Although emergency physicians (EPs) treat symptoms of HF, often the opportunity to connect with palliative care is missed. The "surprise question" (SQ) "Would you be surprised if this patient died in the next 12 months?" is a simple tool to identify patients at risk
Objective The aim of this study was to assess associations between endostatin levels and short-term mortality in unsorted acute hospitalised dyspnoea patients with or without congestive heart failure (CHF), adjusted for common cardiovascular risk factors.Design, setting and participants In this prospective observational study, 723 hospitalised patients who visited the emergency department at Skåne
Our previous data-driven analysis of evolving patterns of islet autoantibodies (IAbs) against insulin (IAA), glutamic acid decarboxylase (GADA) and islet antigen 2 (IA-2A) discovered three trajectories characterized by either multiple IAbs (TR1), IAA (TR2), or GADA (TR3) as the first appearing autoantibodies. Here we examined the evolution of IAb levels within these trajectories in 2,145 IAb-posit
Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends early initiation of breastfeeding within 1 h as it confers many benefits to the child and prevents neonatal mortality. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with timely initiation of breastfeeding in the Kilimanjaro region, northern Tanzania. Methods: We analyzed secondary data for 866 participants from a popu

Objectives To examine the associations between socioeconomic position (SEP) and the incidence of serious hand infections—pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis (PFT) and septic arthritis (SA)—as well as risks of opioid overuse following diagnosis using nation-level data. Design In a registry-based nationwide retrospective cohort study, (1) associations between SEP and incidence of PFT/SA; (2) SEP and infec
OBJECTIVES: Diabetes mellitus (DM) has a strong genetic component and is a known risk factor for several hand conditions. We aimed to examine whether DM in first-degree relatives is associated with an increased risk of hand surgical diagnoses.DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study.SETTING: Data were collected from a population-based cohort in southern Sweden (Malmö Diet and Cancer Study (MDCS)). Fam
Purpose: Postoperative radiotherapy decreases breast cancer mortality. However, studies have revealed a long-lasting breast pain among some women after radiotherapy. The purpose of this study was to identify risk factors that contribute to breast pain after breast cancer radiotherapy. Methods and Materials: We identified 1,027 recurrence-free women in two cohorts of Swedish women treated for breas
Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatic disease in children. Studies of the immunopathogenesis in JIA has mainly focused on the adaptive immune system, while less is known of the role of the monocytes. JIA is considered a chronic disease, although only about 50% of participants in long-term follow-up studies have active disease as adults. The treatment arsenal for JIA has
Objectives The primary aim of the present study was to investigate the putative excess mortality by suicide in suicide attempters. As a secondary aim, we investigate excess mortality in specific, clinically relevant subgroups: individuals with repeated suicide attempts (RA); individuals who used violent method at the attempt (VA); and those who scored high on the Suicide Intent Scale (HS) at the t
Background: In many high-income countries, life expectancy (LE) has increased, with women outliving men. This gender gap in LE (GGLE) has been explained with biological factors, healthy behaviours, health status, and sociodemographic characteristics, but little attention has been paid to the role of public health policies that include/affect these factors. This study aimed to assess the contributi
Objective: A few studies have suggested that patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA) who remain persistent with subcutaneous TNF-α inhibitors (SC-TNFi) incur lower health care costs than patients who discontinue treatment, whereas data on the impact of non-persistence on indirect costs are largely lacking. Furthermore, existing estimates are based on fixed follow-ups, in relation to treatment in
Background: Botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) has been used to reduce spasticity in children with cerebral palsy (CP) for decades. The purpose of this study was to analyze to what extent BTX-A treatment was used to treat spasticity in a total population of children with CP. We investigated 1) the use of BTX-A in relation to age, sex, and Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level, 2) the mos
Summary: This study used nationwide hip fracture data from Denmark and Sweden during 1987–2010 to examine effects of (birth) cohort and period. We found that time trends, cohort, and period effects were different in the two countries. Results also indicated that hip fracture rates may increase in the not so far future. Introduction: The reasons for the downturn in hip fracture rates remain largely
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: A new concept to increase return to work for patients listed as sick with chronic musculoskeletal pain has been used at a rehabilitation centre in Luleå, Sweden. The programme includes work for three days a week and intensive rehabilitation for two days a week, for 12 weeks, as a combination of 'on the job' training and rehabilitation after a period off work sick. The rehab
Background: Order-picking accounts for more than half of total warehouse operating costs, where travel time is the largest contributor. At the case company, a Swedish healthcare consumables logistics provider served by Industri-Matematik International AB, a cluster-picking strategy is used together with a combined routing strategy (Roodbergen, 2001). The current picking process lacks planning of h
In recent years, as 6G wireless systems continue to develop, high-accuracy indoor localization has become increasingly important for future wireless systems. At the same time, reliable indoor positioning is needed by many location-aware applications, such as robotic navigation, emergency healthcare, and smart transportation. Since indoor wireless measurements can vary over time due to multipath pr
ChatGPT och andra generativa Artificiell Intelligens (AI) -verktyg har nyligen fått betydande uppmärksamhet, och deras användning i skolarbete fortsätter att sprida sig globalt. Även om effektiviteten och säkerheten hos dessa verktyg inte är väl grundade i vetenskapen, tyder initiala resultat på deras popularitet i den svenska tonårspopulationen både för skolarbete och emotionell reglering. Hur anChatGPT and other generative AI tools have received considerable attention recently and their usage in schoolwork continues to expand globally. Even though the effectiveness and safety of these tools are not well grounded in science, initial findings suggest their popularity among the Swedish adolescent population for both schoolwork and emotional regulation. Whether this trend is the same in a yo
