A bidirectional relation exists between acute infection and immobilization, both are triggers for venous thromboembolism (VTE). To what extent the association VTE-risk is explained by immobilization unknown.To investigate impact of hospitalization with on in patients without concomitant to explore differential respiratory- (RTI) urinary- (UTI) tract infections risk deep vein thrombosis (DVT) pulmonary embolism (PE).We conducted a case-crossover study VTE-patients (n = 707) recruited from...
Long-term, low-grade inflammation does not seem to be a risk factor for venous thromboembolism. The impact of acute inflammation, regardless cause, on thromboembolism is scarcely studied. We aimed investigate the assessed by C-reactive protein, short-term conducted case-crossover study patients with (n=707) recruited from general population. Information triggers and protein levels were retrieved hospital records during 90 days before event (hazard period) in four preceding 90-day control...
Background: In Norway, the epidemiological situation of candidemia is followed closely. We have previously demonstrated highest incidence in elderly >65 years age. However, knowledge other aspects this infection lacking.Objective: The aim nationwide, retrospective study was to examine risk factors, therapeutic practice and outcome adult patients according age.Methods: retrieved data from medical records who developed Norway between 1 January 2008 31 December 2012. Data were analyzed age,...

APMIS 2011; 119: 479–84. Invasive disease is world wide challenge. Most cases occur children and young adults, but some immunodeficiencies are linked greater risk of invasive neisserial infections. One these component deficiencies, particularly deficiency properdin the terminal components. We describe recurrent man...
Stroke is associated with a short-term increased risk of subsequent venous thromboembolism (VTE). It unclear to what extent this association mediated by stroke-related complications that are potential triggers for VTE, such as immobilization and infection. We aimed investigate the role acute stroke trigger incident VTE while taking other concomitant into account. conducted population-based case-crossover study 707 patients. Triggers were registered during 90 days before event (hazard period)...
Abstract Background Inflammation is present in several conditions associated with risk of venous thromboembolism. The gut microbiome might be a source systemic inflammation and activation coagulation, by translocation lipopolysaccharides from gram-negative bacteria to the circulation. Objective To investigate whether vancomycin-induced shift direction influences plasma factor (F) VIII procoagulant activity (FVIII:C). Methods Results We performed randomized controlled trial including 43...
Abstract Patients with myocardial infarction (MI) are at increased short-term risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). The mechanisms behind this association unclear. We aimed to investigate the impact acute MI as a transient factor for incident VTE while taking other concomitant factors into account. conducted case–crossover study patients (n = 707) recruited from fourth survey Tromsø Study. and hospitalizations were registered during 90-day period preceding diagnosis (hazard period) in four...
