Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) provide important insights into patients' own perspectives about their health and medical condition, there is evidence that use can lead to improvements in the quality of care better-informed clinical decisions. Their application cardiovascular populations has grown over past decades. This statement describes what PROs are, it provides an inventory disease-specific domain-specific have been developed for populations. International standards indices published,...
Abstract Background In-hospital delirium is associated with adverse outcomes and underdiagnosed, limiting research clinical follow-up. Objective To compare the incidence of in-hospital determined by chart-based review electronic medical records (D-CBR) discharge diagnoses (D-DD). Furthermore, to identify differences in symptoms, treatments triggers between D-CBR D-DD. Method The community-based cohort included 2,115 participants Hordaland Health Study born 1925 1927. Between 2018 2022, we...
Background: Cardiac patients may experience problems with sexual activity as a result of their disease, medications or anxiety and nurses play an important role in counselling. We studied the practice, responsibility confidence cardiac counselling these patients.
Postoperative delirium (PD) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) remains to be explored. We sought (1) determine the incidence of PD in octogenarians who underwent TAVI or surgical replacement (SAVR), (2) identify its risk factors, and (3) describe possible differences onset course between treatment groups. A prospective cohort study consecutive patients aged ≥80 years with severe stenosis elective SAVR (N = 143) was conducted. The assessed for 5 days using Confusion...
To examine the psychometric properties of Norwegian version Fear COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S), randomly selected individuals from a larger registry study were invited. We assessed reliability and validity instrument in sample 1089 adults Norway (response rate 73%). Internal consistency measured by Cronbach's alpha (0.88) was acceptable. Omega alphaHierarchical (ωt = 0.69) lower indicating that general factor is less reliable, explaining 69% total variance. Confirmatory analysis indicated FCV-19S...
Abstract Background The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant disruptions in the implementation of programs across educational institutions. Nursing students, being both young adults and by practical training, part health care system, may be particularly vulnerable during pandemic. purpose this study was to explore associations between self-reported fear COVID-19, general health, psychological distress overall quality life (QoL) a sample Norwegian baccalaureate nursing students compared...
This paper presents the European federation of Critical Care Nursing associations, Society Paediatric and Neonatal Intensive Care, Cardiology Council on Cardiovascular Allied Professions Joint Position Statement The Presence Family Members During Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.
Although patients may experience a quick recovery followed by rapid discharge after percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs), continuity of care from hospital to home can be particularly challenging. Despite this fact, little is known about the experiences across interface between secondary and primary healthcare systems in undergoing PCI.To explore how PCI settings early discharge.The study used an inductive exploratory design performing in-depth interviews 22 at 6-8 weeks PCI. Nine were...
Established surgical scores have limitations in delineating risk among candidates for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Assessment of frailty might help to estimate the mortality and identify patients likely benefit from treatment. The aim study was develop a score guide decision TAVI. We conducted prospective observational ≥70 years referred TAVI during 2011–15. A Heart Team had declined open heart surgery due high but accepted them Prior procedure, geriatric assessment (GA)...
Patient-reported outcomes are increasingly seen as complementary to biomedical measures. However, their prognostic importance has yet be established, particularly in female long-term myocardial infarction (MI) survivors. We aimed determine whether 10-year survival older women after MI relates patient-reported outcomes, and compare with that of the general population. included all aged 60-80 years suffering during 1992-1997, treated at one university hospital Norway. In 1998, 145 (60% those...
Objectives Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) is the most frequently performed bariatric surgery procedure worldwide, but reports on long-term quality of life (QOL) outcomes are scarce. We investigated 5-year trajectories in QOL and their associations with weight loss after SG. Design A prospective cohort study. Setting The study was conducted a single Norwegian centre. Participants Out 150 operated patients, 127 were included. Mean age 41 years, 68% women follow-up rate at 1 year 85% 64% 5...
The RAND-36 and RAND-12 (equivalent to versions 1 of the SF-36 Health Survey SF-12 Survey, respectively) are widely used measures health-related quality life. However, there diverging views regarding how create physical health mental composite scores these questionnaires. We present a simple approach using an unweighted linear combination subscale for constructing that assumes should be free correlate. aim this study was investigate criterion validity convergent scores.We investigated...
Purpose: To investigate cardiovascular nurses' experiences of and attitudes towards the presence family members during resuscitation adult patients.
Complex medication regimens are often required to manage cardiovascular diseases. As non-adherence, which can have severe negative outcomes, is common among patients, various interventions improve adherence should be implemented in daily practice.To assess strategies nurses and allied health professionals utilize (1) patients' regimen, (2) enhance via educational/cognitive, counseling/behavioral, psychological/affective interventions.A 45-item questionnaire assessment interventional utilized...
Graphical Abstract
Background Web-based technology has recently become an important source for sharing health information with patients after acute cardiac event. Therefore, consideration of patients’ perceived electronic (eHealth) literacy skills is crucial improving the delivery patient-centered information. Objective The aim this study was to translate and adapt eHealth Literacy Scale (eHEALS) conditions in Norway, determine its psychometric properties. More specifically, we set out reliability (internal...
When a parent is living with heart disease, it impacts the entire family.

Inclusion criteria any type within six months up to five years since diagnosis...
Abstract Background There are limited data regarding the utility of follow-up cardiac troponin (cTn) measurements after admission for acute chest pain and how long-term stability myocardial injury prognostic value differ when using T (cTnT) or I (cTnI). Methods We measured high-sensitivity (hs)-cTnT (Roche Diagnostics) hs-cTnI (Siemens Healthineers) during hospitalization 3 months. Acute was defined as concentrations > sex-specific upper reference limit (URL) ≤URL at 3-months. Chronic...
It has been recognized that a clinically significant portion of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) continue to experience anginal and other related symptoms are refractory the combination medical therapy revascularization. The Euro Heart Survey on Revascularization (EHSCR) provided an opportunity assess pharmacological treatment outcome in proven CAD who were ineligible for revascularization.We performed secondary analysis EHS-CR data. After excluding ST-elevation myocardial...
A substantial burden associated with MI has been reported. Thus, how survivors experience their quality of life (QOL) is now being given increasing attention. However, few studies have involved women and a comparison the general population. The aims this study were to determine QOL female survivors, investigate whether differed from that population, evaluate clinical significance findings. Two cross-sectional surveys performed; on Norwegian survey included aged 62–80 years, three months five...
