Background: To assess the quality of life of people with dementia, measures are required for self-rating by the person with dementia, and for proxy rating by others. The Quality of Life in Alzheimer's Disease scale (QoL-AD) is available in two versions, QoL-AD-SR (self-rating) and QoL-AD-PR (proxy rating). The aim of our study was to analyse the inter-rater agreement between self- and proxy rating

Background: Multimorbidity has already become common in primary care and will be a challenge in the future. Primary care in Sweden participates to a great extent in the care of patients with two severe, chronic conditions: chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and heart failure. Both conditions are characterized by high mortality and often coexist. Age, sex, heart failure and other comorbid

Purpose: The aim of this study was to develop a deep learning-based method for segmentation of bones in CT scans and test its accuracy compared to manual delineation, as a first step in the creation of an automated PET/CT-based method for quantifying skeletal tumour burden. Methods: Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were trained to segment 49 bones using manual segmentations from 100 CT scans.

Background: The impact of air pollution and road traffic noise on depression remains inconclusive. This study examined long-term residential exposure to air pollutants and road traffic noise in relation to dispensed antidepressant medications. Methods: A cohort study was conducted using the Swedish Malmö Diet and Cancer Study, with the outcome defined as a first dispensed antidepressant (ATC: N06A

Background Suicide is more common among males and in older age, but the understanding of sex-specific and age-specific risk indicators is limited. Objective To describe the sex-specific and age-specific prevalence of 25 suicide risk indicators in the year preceding suicide and estimate their associations with suicide. Methods Register-based population-nested case-control study in Sweden, 2009–2021

Background Human papillomavirus (HPV) is associated with an increased risk for a variety of squamous cell carcinomas in the general population. The risk for subsequent squamous cell carcinomas in blood or marrow transplantation survivors that are potentially related to HPV (cervical, oropharyngeal, vulvar, vaginal, anal, and penile cancer; HPV-related squamous cell carcinomas) remains unknown. Met

Objectives: To analyze device designs, similarities and overlaps of custom-made fenestrated arch endografts intended for mid/distal arch thoracic endovascular aortic repair. Materials and Methods: A multicenter cross-sectional study analyzing custom-made anonymized graft plans was performed. Graft plans were included from a cohort of mid/distal aortic arch repairs using custom-made fenestrated aor

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by 3 core symptom complexes: parkinsonism, cerebellar syndrome, and dysautonomia. Recent Movement Disorder Society (MDS) criteria allow for the clinical diagnosis of MSA based solely on motor symptoms, without requiring dysautonomia. This study aimed to evaluate the frequency and disease trajecto

BACKGROUND: Patients receiving intraoperative ventilation during general anesthesia often have low end-tidal CO2 (etCO2). We examined the association of intraoperative etCO2 levels with the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary complications (PPCs) in a conveniently-sized international, prospective study named 'Local ASsessment of Ventilatory management during General Anesthesia for Surgery' (LAS

INTRODUCTION: Parents can act as important agents of change and support for healthy childhood growth and development. Studies have found that parents may not be able to accurately perceive their child's weight status. The purpose of this study was to measure parental perceptions of their child's weight status and to identify predictors of potential parental misperceptions.METHODS: We used data fro

Infections caused by anaerobes are common in children. However, limited data are available on bloodstream infections caused by these bacteria in Europe. A multicentre retrospective observational study was conducted over a 4-year period (2020–2023) across 44 European hospitals to analyze all anaerobes isolated from blood cultures. The study examined the epidemiology and antimicrobial resistance pro

BACKGROUND: A significant proportion of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients have characteristics of high-bleeding -risk (HBR). Their influence on ischaemic and bleeding-events in AMI all-comers is not well described.METHODS: AMI Patients in England and Wales (E&W), and Sweden between 2005 and 2019 were included from MINAP and SWEDEHEART national registries. Patients were categorised acc

Introduction: Consensus is lacking regarding the upper limit for a safe contraction frequency during labor. We aimed to assess the association between different contraction frequencies and acidemia at birth, and whether an association was affected by oxytocin augmentation, concomitant cardiotocography (CTG) classification, and stage of labor. Material and Methods: This is a case–control study base

The photochemical decomposition of the dissolved organic matter DOM can have a significant impact on the landscape-atmosphere carbon exchange. However, little is known about how changing characteristics of DOM due to water browning (allochthonous inputs of DOM from terrestrial sources) affect the photochemical processing of the DOM. A shift from in situ self-produced (autochthonous) DOM to allocht

Nature-based solutions (NbS) have proven effective in addressing urban sustainability challenges. This thesis focuses on bridging the gap in NbS short-term interventions, scale, and financial barriers. It examines the instrumentalization and implementation of successful long-term interventions from a policy and urban governance perspective, aiming to inspire cities and identify commonalities. The
