BACKGROUND: Children, adolescents, and young adults with cancer (referred to as CAYAs) are at risk of long-term health complications, with cardiovascular disease (CVD) being a major concern. In addition, sociodemographic characteristics and traditional cardiovascular risk factors may also contribute to disparities in outcomes compared with those of the general population. The aim of this study was
BACKGROUND: Despite pain control being a top priority in end-of-life care, pain continues to be a troublesome symptom and comprehensive data on pain prevalence and pain relief in patients with different diagnoses are scarce.METHODS: The Swedish Register of Palliative Care (SRPC) was used to retrieve data from 2011 to 2022 about pain during the last week of life. Data were collected regarding occur
OBJECTIVE: Previous literature has suggested that identifying putative differences in health care seeking patterns before death by suicide depending on age and gender may facilitate more targeted suicide preventive approaches. The aim of this study is to map health care utilisation among individuals in the two years prior to suicide in Sweden in 2015 and to examine possible age and gender differen
OBJECTIVE To estimate the risk of all cause and cause specific mortality in people with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) compared with matched unaffected people from the general population and with their unaffected siblings. DESIGN Population based matched cohort and sibling cohort study. SETTING Register linkage in Sweden. PARTICIPANTS Population based cohort including 61 378 people with OCD a
Context: Clinically assisted hydration during end-of-life care among patients with cancer is controversial; practice varies between clinical settings and countries, and there is a lack of evidence. Objectives: To examine whether breathlessness, respiratory secretion, or confusion correlates with receiving parenteral hydration during end of life, adjusted for sex, age, and place of death. Methods:
Statin dosage in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and concomitant kidney dysfunction is a clinical dilemma. We studied discontinuation during the first year after an AMI and long-term outcome in patients receiving high versus low-moderate intensity statin treatment, in relation to kidney function. For the intention-to-treat analysis (ITT-A), we included all patients admitted to Swed
CONTEXT: Mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS) is associated with increased mortality in patients with adrenal incidentalomas (AI), but little is known regarding the potential risk associated with non-functional adrenal adenomas (NFAA), which constitute the majority of AI.OBJECTIVE: Compare mortality risk in patients with NFAA, and different levels of MACS, to matched controls.METHOD: This was
BACKGROUND: In Phase II/III trials, administration of quadrivalent human papillomavirus (HPV) (types 6/11/16/18) L1 virus-like-particle vaccine was highly effective in preventing HPV6/11/16/18-related cervical intraepithelial neoplasia and non-invasive cervical cancer in women aged 16-26 years who were naïve to these HPV types at enrollment. However, the makeup and extent of catch-up vaccination p

Objective: Although rare, malignant ovarian germ cell tumors (MOGCTs) account for 70 % of ovarian malignancies in women younger than 30 years. Given the rarity of MOGCTs and the limited population-based data, this study aims to examine national treatment patterns and survival in women with MOGCTs, with a focus on fertility-sparing surgery. Methods: This nationwide population-based study included a

BACKGROUND: The use of impacted morselized allograft bone and cement in hip revision arthroplasty has been popular, but studies that specifically address intraoperative and postoperative complications have been scarce. METHODS: All complications that occurred during, and within the first year after, 144 consecutive hip revision arthroplasties (108 stems and 130 sockets) performed with impacted mor
Rationale: Cardiovascular drugs may improve survival in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, previous studies did not account for major sources of bias, and drug effects have not been evaluated in severe COPD. Objectives: To estimate the time-dependent effects of cardiovascular drugs on survival in oxygen-dependent COPD, accounting for immortal and immeasurable time bias. Methods
PURPOSE: This study was designed to assess aorto-iliac morphological characteristics in relation to reintervention and all-cause long-term mortality in patients undergoing standard EVAR for infrarenal AAA. METHODS: Patients treated with EVAR (Zenith(®) Stentgrafts, Cook) between May 1998 and February 2006 were prospectively enrolled in a computerized database where comorbidities and preoperative
This thesis presents two prime contributions. First, digital filters for both intermediate and base band filtering for mobile communication are presented. Second, a local clock for on-chip clock generation is introduced. The intermediate frequency filter is a digital alternative to today's analog filters. It is a narrow band filter designed for the American digital mobile telephone system accordin
BACKGROUND: Obesity has, in a number of studies, been found to correlate to disability and mortality, primarily due to diseases of the circulatory and musculoskeletal systems. In addition, an excess mortality among underweight subjects has been observed in previous studies. METHODS: Five complete birth-year cohorts (1926-1930) of male residents in Malmo (n = 7697) were invited to the survey at the
Introduction: Tuberculosis (TB) is the most common opportunistic infection (OI) and cause of death in people living with HIV/AIDS (PLHIV), even in settings with access to antiretroviral therapy (ART). This study aims to determine factors associated with adverse outcome of TB treatment in PLHIV. Materials and Method: The study was retrospective cohort study which includes 958 individuals aged ≥15 y
Omkring en tredjedel av alla sammanlevande par i Sverige idag är sambor och omfattas därigenom av sambolagen. Sambolagens huvudsyfte är att tillhandahålla ett minimiskydd till den svagare parten när samboförhållandet upplöses. I och med att samboförhållandena ökar i antal varar allt fler samboförhållanden längre, till och med livet ut. Mot bakgrund av detta är uppsatsens mål att behandla vilket efAbout one third of all couples in Sweden today are cohabitants and therefore subject to the Cohabitees Act. The purpose of the Cohabitees Act is to provide minimum protection for the weaker party when a cohabitee relationship ends. Due to the fact that cohabitee relationships are increasing in number, more cohabitee relationships are lasting longer, some even for life. Considering this, the object
