Background: Long waiting times have been a significant problem in theSwedish health care system. A lack of matching of pathways of care has ledto long waiting times for patients, increasing medical risk and contributingtowards less effective capacity utilisation. There are different pathways into theelective healthcare system in Sweden, some via referral from a physician andothers via referral wri

Background: The choice between different attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) medications depends on different drug attributes. Economic evaluations of drugs often disregard the utility of other attributes compare with the drugs' efficacy. Aims: The aim of this study was to assess patient's preferences and elicit willingness-to-pay (WTP) for different drug attributes in the treatment of

INTRODUCTION: Numerous prior studies, even from countries with free access to care, have associated long travel time to care with poor survival in patients with colorectal cancer. METHODS: This is a data-linkage study of all 3718 patients with colorectal cancer, diagnosed between 2007 and 2013 in Northern Sweden, one of the most sparsely populated areas in Europe. Travel time to nearest hospital w

Background: Periampullary adenocarcinomas are a heterogenous group of tumours with poor prognosis that hasnot improved considerably the last decades. Tumour morphology, i.e. intestinal type (I-type) or pancreatobiliarytype (PB-type), has been demonstrated to be a more relevant prognostic factor than anatomical origin. Tumourinfiltrating immune cells are vital in shaping the natural progress of canBackground: Periampullary adenocarcinomas are a heterogenous group of tumours with poor prognosis that hasnot improved considerably the last decades.

BACKGROUND: Depression and anxiety are associated with adverse outcomes in educational achievements and economic performances. Moreover, the prevalence of these disorders is unequally distributed among different population subgroups. Our objective is to investigate whether the economic consequences of depression and anxiety differ between population subgroups of different gender, socioeconomic sta

High-volume hospitals typically perform better than low-volume hospitals. In this paper, we study whether such patterns reflect a causal effect of case volume on patient outcomes. To this end, we exploit closures and openings of entire cancer clinics in Swedish hospitals which provides sharp and arguably exogenous variation in case volumes. Using detailed register data on more than 100,000 treatme

This paper provides a descriptive analysis of the level of and change in cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol consumption and body weight in Nordic countries and compares them with non-Nordic OECD countries. Our results show that the average prevalence of daily smokers is significantly lower for Nordic countries compared to non-Nordic countries. Four out of five Nordic countries are below the non-

Medierna spelar en viktig roll i hur vi formar våra värderingar och uppfattningar om omvärlden. Mediernas sätt att framställa ett fenomen är i hög grad avgörande för vårt sätt att förstå det. Främlingsfientlighet och rasism är ämnen som har fått stor betydelse på senare tid då extremhögern har varit på frammarsch runt om i Europa. Det är därför viktigt att studera vilken roll medierna har i detta

Purpose: Cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) and muscle strength are associated with cancer risk/mortality in adults. However, there is yet no evidence for pediatric tumors. This study investigated the association of CRF and muscle strength with several tumor-related phenotypes in an aggressive childhood malignancy, high-risk neuroblastoma (HR-NB). Methods: Twelve mice bearing orthotopic HR-NB were st
