Objective To validate diagnostic codes for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) estimate physician-diagnosed prevalence of PsA in the Skåne region, Sweden. Methods In Healthcare Register (SHR), all healthcare consultations are continuously collected inhabitants region (population 1.2 million). During 2005–2010 we identified individuals with ≥1 physician-consultations consistent (ICD-10). Within this group also those diagnosed PsA. We performed a validation by reviewing medical records 100...
Patients with injured hands and forearms of varying severity [Hand Injury Severity Score (HISS)] were studied prospectively, including analysis costs, hand/arm function (DASH), health status (SF-36). Costs, duration sick-leave, DASH-score (high score; impaired function) increased by injury (higher HISS) the greatest proportion total costs resulted from lost production. Most employed patients returned to work within a year, but even minor injuries expensive. HISS care during an emergency...
This study analysed the costs of median and ulnar nerve injuries in forearm humans factors affecting such costs. The within health-care sector lost production were calculated 69 patients with an injury to and/or forearm, usually caused by glass, a knife, or razorblade.

Abstract Background To study costs and outcome for serious hand arm injuries during the first year after trauma. Methods In patients with a Hand Injury Severity Score (HISS) > 50, DASH EQ-5D scores as well factors related to within health care sector, due lost production total were evaluated. Cox-regression analysis stratifying mechanism of injury was used analyse return work. Results The majority 45 included (median 42 years 16–64) men severe (n = 9) or major 36) different type...
Epidemiology, results of treatment, impact on activity daily living (ADL), and costs for treatment digital nerve injuries have not been considered consistently.

Summary. Using an 11‐year panel of 156 Norwegian and Swedish patients with severe haemophilia, including retrospective case‐book data from birth, we compared the differences in haemophilia‐related resource use between on‐demand prophylactic treatment. Patients treated had more surgery (arthrodeses, prostheses implantations synovectomies) days lost work. Median annual factor‐concentrate consumption among adults (18+) was 211 000 IU [interquartile range (IQR) 154 000–268 000] or 3 024 kg −1...
As moderate to severe psoriasis is a systemic disease with large effects on health-related quality of life, generic measures that include overall health, not only skin involvement, are necessary. Knowledge about the relationship between preference-based EuroQol 5D (EQ-5D) and dermatology-specific in limited.To analyse EQ-5D, Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) Psoriasis Area Severity (PASI) patients Swedish clinical practice by demographic characteristics, compare EQ-5D among vs....
In the two European Union (EU)-funded projects, PCM4EU (Personalized Cancer Medicine for all EU citizens) and PRIME-ROSE (Precision Repurposing System Using Pragmatic Clinical Trials), we aim to facilitate implementation of precision cancer medicine (PCM) in Europe by leveraging experience from ongoing national initiatives that have already been particularly successful.
ABSTRACT Introduction Comorbidities and public health conditions in haemophilia are receiving increasing attention. Aim To analyse the prevalence of comorbidities mortality people with (PwH) compared to matched controls subgroups (factor consumption sex). Methods This study used longitudinal individual‐level data (11 years) from national registers three Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland Sweden) MIND (NCT03276130) for PwH (1:5 on birth year It arthropathy, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV),...
Background Health-economic models of diabetes are complex since the disease is chronic, progressive and there many diabetic complications. External validation these helps building trust satisfies demands from decision makers. We evaluated external validity IHE Cohort Model Type 2 Diabetes; impact using alternative macrovascular risk equations; compared results to those microsimulation models. Methods The model was analysed 12 clinical trials observational studies by comparing 167 predicted...
Summary Regular replacement therapy (prophylaxis) for haemophilia has been shown to prevent development of disabling arthropathy and provide a better quality life compared treatment on demand; however, at substantially higher cost. Calculations based pharmacokinetic principles have that shortening dose intervals may reduce The aim this prospective, randomized, crossover pilot study was address whether daily dosing is feasible, if it reduces concentrate consumption as effective in preventing...
<b><i>Background:</i></b> Although clinical studies have shown efficacy of biological agents in moderate to severe psoriasis, observational real-world effectiveness are rare. <b><i>Objective:</i></b> To analyse the psoriasis area and severity index (PASI) quality life by EQ-5D questionnaire dermatology (DLQI) patients who switched from conventional systemic treatment practice. Furthermore, patient groups with highest benefit agents....
The epidemiology and costs of repair rehabilitation zone II flexor tendon injuries in 135 patients from the southern part Sweden were analysed. little finger was most frequently injured (43%), usually with a knife (46%), 30% work related. Total median within health-care sector for SEK 48,500 (1 EURO=9.23 SEK, 4/1/2002). Costs other sectors 93,000. Active mobilization or rubber band traction increased (SEK 7400 6000, respectively) but improved range movement (5-7%). Immobilization had higher...
To compare two different regimens for children diagnosed with type 1 diabetes: hospital-based care or home (HBHC), referring to specialist in a home-based setting. The trial took place Sweden randomized controlled design and included 60 children, aged 3-15 years. After 2-3 days care, were either continued HBHC 6 days. primary outcome was the child's metabolic control after 2 Secondary outcomes set evaluate family child situation as well healthcare services.

BackgroundLifestyle interventions affect patients' risk factors for metabolic syndrome (MeSy), a pre-stage to cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and related complications. An effective lifestyle intervention is the Swedish Björknäs intervention, 3-year randomized controlled trial in primary care MeSy patients. To include future disease-related cost health consequences cost-effectiveness analysis, simulation model was used estimate short-term (3-year) long-term (lifelong) of study....

Individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D) are at high risk of experiencing atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), which is associated morbidity, mortality and healthcare resource utilisation. Clinical guidelines recommend the use glucose-lowering medications benefits in individuals T2D disease, but there evidence that this not reflected clinical practice. We used linked national registry data from Sweden to compare outcomes people ASCVD against matched controls without ASCVD, over 5...
