"En ny hverdag" : mødres opplevelse av hverdagen med et prematurt barn, og støtten ved en forsterket helsestasjon
2014
Masteroppgave folkehelsevitenskap- Universitetet i Agder, 2014 Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore how a child health centre, with expertise in premature infants, can improve how mothers manage their daily life with a preterm child. Background: Premature infants has a higher risk for several health issues, which can be challenging for the parents. The transition between hospital and home is crucial, as the parents have to handle the full responsibility for their child, for the first time. In this period, the child health centre can be an important resource. Method: Semi structured interviews of nine mothers of preterm infants were conducted. The children took part in a follow-…
Health-related quality of life in individuals with metabolic syndrome: A cross-sectional study
2020
Abstract Introduction and objectives Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a combination of various cardiovascular risk factors with a major impact on morbidity and premature mortality. However, the impact of MetS on self-reported health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is unknown. This study evaluated the HRQoL in a Spanish adult population aged 55 years and older with MetS. Method A cross-sectional analysis was performed with baseline data from the PREDIMED-Plus multicentre randomized trial. The participants were 6430 men and women aged 55–75 years with overweight/obesity (body mass index ≥27 and ≤40 kg/m2) and MetS. The SF-36 questionnaire was used as a tool to measure HRQoL. Scores were calculate…
Preserving the abductor mechanism in robotic THR: the influence of stem design and cutterpath.
2004
The tip of the greater trochanter is the attachment site for the abductor muscles of the hip joint. Its preservation in robotic and conventional THR is important for normal gait. The effect of different stem designs and robotic cutterpaths on the preservation of the trochanter tip is examined.One anatomical stem, one straight stem, and one stem specifically designed for robotic THR were implanted virtually in CT scans of osteoarthrotic hip joints using the Torch preoperative planning unit (URS-ortho). In transverse sections of the trochanter tip, dimensions of the trochanter area removed by the milling tool were recorded for each stem design and different cutterpaths (3-axis versus 5-axis m…
A longitudinal study on the information needs and preferences of patients after an acute coronary syndrome.
2016
Background Research has shown that the provision of pertinent health information to patients with cardiovascular disease is associated with better adherence to medical prescriptions, behavioral changes, and enhanced perception of control over the disease. Yet there is no clear knowledge on how to improve information pertinence. Identifying and meeting the information needs of patients and their preferences for sources of information is pivotal to developing patient-led services. This prospective, observational study was aimed at exploring the information needs and perceived relevance of different information sources for patients during the twenty-four months following an acute coronary synd…
Assessment of antibiotic prescribing in Latvian general practitioners.
2013
Abstract Background Though general antibiotic consumption data is available, information on the actual patterns of prescribing antibiotics locally is difficult to obtain. An easy to use methodology was designed to assess ambulatory management of infections by Latvian general practitioners (GPs). Methods GPs were asked to record data in a patient data collection form for every patient that received antibiotics. Study period – (7 days) one week in November, 2008. Data recorded included the following details: an antibiotic, the prescribed dose, dosing interval, route of administration combined with the demographic factors of the patient and clinical diagnosis based on a pre-defined list. Resul…

The influence of hemoglobin A1c levels on cardiovascular events and all-cause mortality in people with diabetes over 70 years of age. A prospective s…
2019
Abstract Aim Glycated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) is a reliable risk factor of cardiovascular diseases in diabetic patients, but information about this relationship in elderly patients is scarce. The aim of this study is to analyze, the relationship between HbA1c levels and the risk of mayor adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in patients with diabetes over 70 years. Methods Prospective study of subjects with diabetes using electronic health records from the universal public health system in the Valencian Community, Spain, 2008–2012. We included men and women aged ≥ 70 years with diabetes who underwent routine health examinations in primary care. Primary endpoint was the incidence of MACE: all-…

2021
BackgroundPrevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) in male survivors of cancer across cancer types has not been systematically analysed.AimTo estimate the prevalence of ED in all types of cancer and identify characteristics associated with ED in survivors of cancer.Design and settingSystematic review and meta-analysis (MA) of cross-sectional studies.MethodMEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and EMBASE were searched, targeting reports published from inception to 1 February 2020. All retrospective or prospective studies reporting prevalence of ED in male patients with cancer and using a validated tool for detection of ED were included. A random-effects MA model was used to pool prevalence of ED as abso…
