Only a few studies have performed comprehensive comparisons between hospitalized patients from different waves of COVID-19. Thus, we aimed to compare the clinical characteristics and laboratory data admitted western part Denmark during first second COVID-19 in 2020. Furthermore, identify risk factors for critical disease describe available information on sources infection.We retrospective study medical records 311 consecutive patients, 157 wave 1 154 2.

Home-based rehabilitation after an acute episode or following exacerbation of a chronic disease is often problematic with clear lack continuity care between hospital and home care. Secondary prevention essential element long-term where strategies oriented toward risk reduction, treatment adherence, optimization quality life need to be applied. Frail sometimes isolated, the patient fails adhere proposed post-discharge clinical pathway due appropriate clinical, emotional, informational...
Abstract Background Adherence and completion of programmes in educational physical exercise sessions is essential cardiac rehabilitation (CR) to obtain the known benefits on morbidity, mortality, risk factors, lifestyle, quality life. The patient education strategy “Learning Coping” (LC) has been reported positively impact adherence a hospital setting. It unknown if LC primary healthcare settings, whether improves self-management. aim this pragmatic healthcare-based study was examine...
Due to improved treatments and ageing population, many countries now report increasing prevalence in rates of ischemic heart disease failure. Cardiac rehabilitation has potential reduce morbidity mortality, but not all patients complete. In light favourable effects cardiac it is important develop patient education methods which can enhance adherence this effective program. The LC-REHAB study aims compare the effect a new strategy called 'learning coping' that standard care. Further, paper...
Enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP) is a new therapy offered to patients with refractory angina pectoris (AP).Purpose. To assess the effect of EECP on AP, quality life (QoL) and exercise capacity in design starting control period avoid influence regression-towards-the-mean. Methods. Patients were examined two months before EECP, just before, after, three 12 after EECP. was given for 1 h 5 days week 7 weeks. Three sets pneumatic cuffs mounted lower extremities inflated sequentially...
Personal resources are identified as important for the ability to return work (RTW) patients with ischaemic heart disease (IHD) or failure (HF) undergoing cardiac rehabilitation (CR). The patient education 'Learning and Coping' (LC) addresses personal through a pedagogical approach. This trial aimed assess effect of adding LC strategies in CR compared standard measured on RTW status at one-year follow-up after CR. In an open parallel randomised controlled trial, IHD HF were block-randomised...
Learning and coping education strategies (LC) was implemented to enhance patient attendance in the cardiac rehabilitation programme. This study assessed cost-utility of LC compared standard (standard) as part a programme for patients with ischemic heart disease failure. The conducted alongside randomised controlled trial 825 who were allocated or followed 5 months. approach identical terms physical training education, but addition individual interviews weekly team evaluations by...
Abstract Background Cardiometabolic risk increases with increasing body mass index (BMI). The exact mechanism is poorly understood, and traditional assessment of young adults obesity has shown to be ineffective. Greater knowledge about potential new effective biomarkers the use advanced cardiac imaging for in is, therefore, necessary. Objective This study aims explore novel cardiometabolic markers across strata BMI adults. Methods Participants ( N = 264, 50% women, age 28–30 years) were...
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common complication in pregnancy and constitutes public health problem due to the risk of developing other diseases. Most women face barriers complying with preventive programs. This study aimed explore motivational factors for lifestyle changes among history GDM their suggestions programs.This used qualitative approach six focus group interviews total 32 women. The selection criteria were time since onset GDM, including diagnosed months five years...

We assessed the effects of patient education strategy 'Learning and Coping' (LC) in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on mortality readmissions by exploring results from LC-REHAB trial. In all, 825 patients with ischaemic heart disease or failure were randomized to intervention arm (LC-CR) control (standard CR) at three hospitals Denmark. LC-CR was situational inductive, experienced as co-educators supplemented two individual interviews. Group-based training hours same both arms. Outcomes time...

Objectives To enhance adherence to cardiac rehabilitation (CR), a patient education programme called ‘learning and coping’ (LC-programme) was implemented in three hospitals Denmark. The aim of this study investigate the cost–utility LC-programme compared with standard CR-programme. Methods 825 patients ischaemic heart disease or failure were randomised CR-programme followed for 3 years. A societal cost perspective applied quality-adjusted life years (QALY) based on SF-6D measurements....
Abstract The objectives were to assess the short- and long-term effect of patient education strategy ‘Learning Coping’ (LC) in cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on health-related quality life, impact, risk factors lifestyle. In total, 825 patients hospitalized with ischaemic heart disease or failure randomized either LC-CR standard CR at three Danish hospitals. Teaching approach was situational, inductive reflective, experienced as co-educators supplemental interviews. structured deductive....
