PURPOSE – Comparative studies demonstrate that patients who use electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) experience better outcomes; however, research comparing ePRO designs to determine optimal strategies for routine clinical practice is limited. We aimed to determine the impact of a novel checkbox format for presenting items in a postoperative symptom-assessment ePRO tool.METHODS – Patients
Purpose Despite increased interest in opioid-free strategies, their clinical uptake remains limited. This study explores Swedish perioperative healthcare professional’s (HCPs) knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding opioid and nonopioid analgesia across intraoperative and postoperative contexts. Design A national web-based survey was conducted among perioperative HCPs across Sweden between O
Purpose: Electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) are used postoperatively to detect complications through real-time symptom monitoring. This study examines whether alerts triggered through the “Recovery Tracker” (RT), an ePRO system, predict 30-day re-admission or re-operation after lumpectomy. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed breast cancer patients who underwent lumpectomy at a single in
BACKGROUND: Sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC) is a scoring system developed for early detection of coagulopathy in sepsis and selection of patients for interventional studies. Our aim was to define the prevalence of SIC in a critically ill population and investigate if SIC at intensive care unit (ICU) admission is associated with morbidity and mortality.METHODS: Patients admitted with septic shock
BACKGROUND:Detection of ischemia and intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) directly after endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) could enable earlier diagnosis and treatment. We evaluated whether post-EVT Sine Spin cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) on the Siemens ARTIS Icono biplane system at the end of the procedure can predict ischemia and ICH on subsequent follow-up computed tomography (FUCT) within 48 hou
Background: First-line managers in healthcare operate in increasingly complex environments marked by high demands, rapid change, and limited resources. These conditions impact their health, leadership capacity, and the sustainability of their roles. While previous research has addressed various aspects of leadership in healthcare, there is a lack of studies focusing specifically on how first-line
Introduction: Cervical cancer represents a significant public health challenge worldwide. To improve screening accessibility and participation, we implemented vaginal human papilloma virus (HPV) self-sampling as part of an organized cervical cancer prevention strategy. This study aimed to evaluate the implementation and outcomes of the self-sampling program in a real-world setting. Material and Me
PurposeThis study aims to assess the diffusion and integration of Circular Economy (CE) knowledge across academic disciplines, by examining how CE concepts spread within mainstream academic and disciplinary discourses.Design/Methodology/ApproachCE is conceptualized as a knowledge object, distinguishing between mainstream academic discourse (MAD) and mainstream disciplinary discourse (MDD). The res
BackgroundPediatric heart-lung transplantation (pHLTx) remains the only treatment option for children with significant and fixed elevation of pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) in the setting of uncorrectable end-stage heart disease. We aimed to determine the characteristics, waiting list course and long-term outcomes for children listed for pHLTx within the Scandiatransplant region.MethodsThis w
Introduction:Exclusive breastfeeding (EB) is globally recommended due to health benefits for women and their infants. Home-based postnatal midwifery care (HBPMC) is a model of care where midwives give in-home care during the first postnatal week. The study objectives were to investigate breastfeeding outcomes at two months after birth, in women and newborns receiving HBPMC, and to identify risk fa
Introduction: Ultra-severe traumatic brain injury (us-TBI), defined as Glasgow Coma Scale score (GCS) of five-three, is associated with high mortality and severe morbidity amongst survivors. However, in selected patients a favourable recovery may still be achieved. Research question: We aimed to characterise what clinical parameters can be used as prognosticators in us-TBI patients. Material and m
Ice hockey is a high-intensity sport with high rates of concussions and musculoskeletal injuries. To manage pain, players may (over) use nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) which can have adverse health effects. In 2022, the Swedish Women's Elite League (SDHL) became the first women's league to introduce body checking, potentially increasing injury risks and NSAID use. This study examines
Background: Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (ApHCM) is a distinct variant of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Few studies have focused on the genetic determinants of this subtype. We aimed to investigate the genetic basis of apical hypertrophy in a Swedish cohort. Methods–Results: Longitudinal data on 58 unrelated index patients with ApHCM from the Southeast healthcare region in Sweden from 2
Context. HR 10 has only recently been identified as a binary system. Previously thought to be an A-type shell star, it appears that both components are fast-rotating A-type stars, each presenting a circumstellar envelope. Although showing complex photometric variability, spectroscopic observations of the metallic absorption lines reveal variation explained by the binarity, but not indicative of de
Background and aims: Heart transplantation is the preferred treatment for selected patients with end stage heart failure. Kidney function often declines after heart transplantation. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) slow the decline in eGFR in different populations. However, the effect of SGLT2i on kidney function in heart transplant recipients is unknown. Methods: The Dapaglifloz
