Falls can lead to severe health loss including death. Past research has shown that falls are an important cause of death and disability worldwide. The Global Burden Disease Study 2017 (GBD 2017) provides a comprehensive assessment morbidity mortality from falls.
Multiple intestinal atresia (MIA) is a rare cause of bowel obstruction that sometimes associated with combined immunodeficiency (CID), leading to increased susceptibility infections. The factors underlying this disease are poorly understood. We characterized the immunological and features 6 unrelated MIA-CID patients. All patients displayed profound, generalized lymphocytopenia, few lymphocytes present in lymph nodes. thymus was hypoplastic exhibited an abnormal distribution epithelial...
Introduction Falls in older aged adults are an important public health problem. Insight into differences fall-related injury rates between countries can serve as input for identifying and evaluating prevention strategies. The objectives of this study were to compare Global Burden Disease (GBD) 2017 estimates on incidence, mortality disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) due across 22 the Western European region examine changes over a 28-year period. Methods We performed secondary database...
The epidemiological transition of non-communicable diseases replacing infectious as the main contributors to disease burden has been well documented in global health literature. Less focus, however, given relationship between sociodemographic changes and injury. aim this study was examine association disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) from injury for 195 countries territories at different levels along development spectrum 1990 2017 based on Global Burden Disease (GBD) estimates.Injury...
The Nordic countries have commonalities in gender equality, economy, welfare, and health care, but differ culture lifestyle, which might create country-wise differences. This study compared life expectancy, disease burden, risk factors the region.
Abstract Background Information on cause of death may help appraise the degree to which high excess mortality after hip fracture reflects pre-existing comorbidities or injury itself. We aimed describe causes and cause-specific through first year fracture. Methods For studying distribution by time fracture, we calculated age-adjusted at 1, 3, 6 12 months in patients hospitalized with Norway 1999–2016. Underlying were obtained from Norwegian Cause Death Registry grouped European Shortlist for...
Geographical differences in health outcomes are reported many countries. Norway has led an active policy aiming for regional balance since the 1970s. Using data from Global Burden of Disease Study (GBD) 2019, we examined development and current state across Norwegian counties.Data life expectancy, healthy expectancy (HALE), years lost (YLLs), lived with disability (YLDs), disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) its 11 counties 1990 to 2019 were extracted GBD 2019. County-specific contributors...
Abstract Background Reliable statistics on the underlying cause of death are essential for monitoring health in a population. When there is insufficient information to identify true death, will be classified using less informative codes, garbage codes. If many deaths assigned code, value cause-of-death reduced. The aim this study was analyse use codes Norwegian Cause Death Registry (NCoDR). Methods Data from NCoDR all among residents years 1996–2019 were used describe occurrence We logistic...
Extreme sports, including BASE (building, antenna, span, earth) jumping, are rapidly increasing in popularity. Associated with risk for injuries and deaths, this activity may pose a burden on the emergency system. Hitherto, no reports exist accidents deaths associated jumping.We reviewed records of 20,850 jumps from 1995 to 2005 at Kjerag massif Norway. Frequency accidents, involvement helicopter climbers rescue analyzed. Fatalities were scored injury severity scores (Abbreviated Injury...
Objective: This study aimed to determine the level of misattribution prostate cancer deaths in Norway based on county Vestfold years 2009–2014.Materials and methods: The included 328 patients registered as dead from (PCD; part I death certificate), 126 with other significant condition at (OCD; II certificate) 310 who died a diagnosis not certificate (PC-DCneg) County 2009–2014. complete cohort patients' names dates birth was provided by Norwegian Institute Public Health Cancer Registry. true...
Trauma is the most prevalent cause of death in young. Insight into and time fatal pediatric adolescent trauma important for planning care preventive measures. Our aim was to analyze cause, severity, mode seasonal aspects trauma. Review all consecutive autopsies during a 10-year period within defined population. Of deaths (n = 36), 70% were males, with gender increasing age. Median age 13 years (range 2–17). Blunt predominated (by road traffic accidents) 15; 42%) being "soft" victims, such as...
Ischemic heart disease is the most common cause of sudden death natural causes in western countries. By autopsy, there may be no gross or histologic evidence acute myocardial damage unless patient survived for several hours following event. Cardiac troponin serum has become recommended biochemical marker injury clinical setting. We performed a prospective study on 102 autopsied subjects at Central Hospital Rogaland, Stavanger, Norway. Femoral blood was sampled subsequent analysis cardiac T...
The quality of the data in Cause Death Registry is crucial to produce reliable statistics on causes death. Cancer Norway uses from Norwegian Patient Register request information hospitals regarding patients registered with cancer patient registry, but not registry. We wanted investigate whether can also be used advantage Registry.Data deaths that occurred during period 2009 – 2011 (N = 124,098) were collated contact somatic and psychiatric institutions last year life, retrieved Register....
Objectives . To investigate the detection rate of major fetal heart defects in a low-risk population implementing routine use color Doppler. Material and Methods In prospective observational study, all women undergoing scanning (including 6781 examinations second trimester) during three-year period were included. First gray-scale was performed including assessment four-chamber view great vessels. Thereafter three cross-sectional planes through thorax assessed with Results Thirty-nine fetuses...
For injury deaths, the underlying cause of death is defined as circumstances leading to injury. When this information missing, ICD-10 code X59 (Exposure unspecified factor) used. Lack knowledge factors causing injuries reduces value statistics. The aim study was identify predictors X59-coded deaths in Norway, and assess methods true deaths. We used data from Norwegian Cause Death Registry 2005 2014. logistic regression determinants redistribution we a multinomial model based on cases where...
SAMMENDRAG Sakkyndig vurdering av døde nyfødte var for 100 år siden en hyppig forekommende oppgave leger. Sentralt i vurderingen spørsmålet om barnet hadde levd ved fødselen og dødsfallet naturlig eller ikke. Forråtnelse likene, som ofte ligget gjemt lenge før de ble undersøkt, et stort problem. Til tross at kriteriene bedømmelsen åndet («lungeprøven») omstridt problemene med disse bedømmelsene burde vært godt kjent blant norske leger, både lungeprøve angivelige kvelningstegn benyttet...
Aim: The underlying cause of death represents the most important information on certificates. Often, conditions that cannot represent a true are listed as such. This phenomenon affects quality vital statistics and results studies using cause-specific mortality endpoints. We aimed at exploring magnitude factors associated with use heart failure to describe death. Methods: In this cross-sectional, register based study we linked data from Norwegian Cause Death Registry Patient Registry. used...
The increasing incidence of prosthesis revision surgery in the Western world has led to an increased focus on capacity for stem removal. We previously reported a femoral implanted goats with approximate 15% reduction retention force by drilling longitudinally orientated grooves side stem. In this current study, we aimed histologically evaluate bony apposition towards and correlate pullout force. analyzed femora 22 after All stems remained place 6 months, were allowed regular loading hip...
